A review of White House records has proven that George J. Tenet, director of central intelligence at the time, did in fact brief Condoleezza Rice on July 10, 2001, about the threat from Al Qaeda,
State Department spoksman, Sean McCormack, said that a review of White House records has shown that Tenet did brief Condoleezza Rice about the looming threat.
Mr. McCormack also said records show that the Sept. 11 commission was informed about the meeting, a fact that members of the commission first denied and then confirmed on Monday.
The account by Sean McCormack came hours after Rice told reporters that she did not recall the specific meeting. Rice, the national security adviser at the time, said it was “incomprehensible” she ignored dire terrorist threats two months before the Sept. 11 attacks.
Let's see here....
Rice at first said no meeting occured, then that it did occur, but that she can't remember, and is now attempting to sluff it off claiming incomprehensibility.
The 9/11 Commission said they were never informed of the meeting, but now say they were.
They all started off lying, then pointing fingers, and are now trying poo-poo the whole thing into non-existance.
History may eventually show that Rice was the most responsible Bush appointee for the 9/11 disaster. As you may recall, she was being far too distracted and self-absorbed by the adoration of the feminists and minorities over her glorious position as the first black woman to hold such high office. The road trips, the speches, the TV interviews, the autograph signing, all that sort of thing... may have been far more important to her than a few Arabs making threatening noises off in the desert somewhere.
