Condi Rice was the worst security advisor in US history and should have been fired after 9-11. Her speech, to be delivered on 9-11-01 about the list of threats facing the US that year did not even include a single mention of Islamic terrorism, any kind of terrorism or Al Qaida (Richard Clarke said she'd never heard of the group). In fact, prior to 9-12 she did not mention terrorism a single time, and she lied after 9-11 that "no one could have foreseen" using hijackings inside the US the way Al Qaida did. Total BS. Rice specifically was warned (along with Bush, Ashcroft and Rumsfield) on 8-6-01 by the CIA that we would expect "imminent attacks" by Al Qaida within the US possibly using hijackings. What did Rice do? Nothing. She didn't even re-write her 9-11 speech to include AL Qaida as a possible threat, not to mention the one and only clear and present danger we were facing.
