I'm really struck by Rice's dodge in this op-ed. washingtonpost.com We pushed hard to arm the Predator unmanned aerial vehicle so we could target terrorists with greater precision. But the Predator was designed to conduct surveillance, not carry weapons. Arming it presented many technical challenges and required extensive testing. Military and intelligence officials agreed that the armed Predator was simply not ready for deployment before the fall of 2001. In any case, the Predator was not a silver bullet that could have destroyed al Qaeda or stopped Sept. 11. She's an idiot too. She turns up those baby brown eyes and olive oyl hairdo and she thinks we're going to buy into her bs. This administration was too anxious to get into Iraq to pay much attention to Afghanistan, Haiti, Monrovia, Israel etc. ted
