Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???...
She is accused of lying because she didn't take immediate and specific action even after hearing: "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." Think back in time. If you had heard that, you would be as impressed as you would by reading "Global Warming Good for Canada."

Here's where you nail her for lying (I think):

On March 9, 2003, just eleven days before the invasion of Iraq, Dr. Rice appeared on "Face the Nation" and said:

"Now the al-Qaida is an organization that's quite dispersed and --and quite widespread in its effects, but it clearly has had links to the Iraqis, not to mention Iraqi links to all kinds of other terrorists. And what we do not want is the day when Saddam Hussein decides that he's had enough of dealing with sanctions, enough of dealing with, quote, unquote, "containment," enough of dealing with America, and it's time to end it on his terms, by transferring one of these weapons, just a little vial of something, to a terrorist for blackmail or for worse."
