Richard Clarke's book lays it all out. Rice hardly even knew who Al Qaeda was. Clarke's book confirmed Rice's own writing and the Bush Administration's actions pre-9/11. In early 2000, Condoleeza Rice explained the Bush approach to security in Foreign Affairs magazine. In an article containing almost 7,000 words on national security, she mentions terrorism only five times: four in terms of rogue states like Iraq, and one referring to Chechnya. Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda, having repeatedly attacked U.S. military and diplomatic facilities and killed Americans in the 1990s, and against whom President Clinton had retaliated militarily, warranted not a single mention by the future national security advisor. militaryweek.com Tom
