Hi Karen,
Re: The only honest answers Condi gave were that during the months before 9/11 she was unaware of anything.
Actually, from my research I've reached the conclusion that Sleazza is even lying there.
Her "failure to recall" reminds me of that same odious stench of dishonesty that surrounded Ron Reagan play acting at unfamiliarity with the Iran-Contra planning. Or with the infamous bout of amnesia suffered by JCS Chairman Ricard Myers at his confirmation hearings, two days after the tragedy of 9/11. Myers, as the head of the Air Force on 9/11 bears special guilt for the stand-down that occurred that day.

From Paul Thompson's Timeline:
(After 8:48 a.m.)
Air Force General Richard Myers, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sees the first WTC crash on television. Myers will be acting Chairman of the US military during the 9/11 crisis because Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army General Henry Shelton is flying in a plane across the Atlantic. He sees the TV in an outer office of Senator Max Cleland, but he says, “They thought it was a small plane or something like that,” so he goes ahead and meets with Cleland. He says “nobody informed us” about the second WTC crash, and remains oblivious that there is an emergency, only leaving the meeting with Cleland right as the Pentagon explosion takes place at 9:38.

Yet, in testimony on September 13, 2001, he states, “after the second tower was hit, I spoke to the commander of NORAD, General Eberhart. And at that point, I think the decision was at that point to start launching aircraft.” [Myers Confirmation Testimony, 9/13/01]

NORAD claims the first fighters are scrambled even before the first WTC hit. [NORAD, 9/18/01]
