Condoleezza Rice Schools Katie Couric on Why U.S. Invaded Iraq

On December 3, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice gave CBS's Katie Couric a much-needed lesson on why America invaded Iraq.

When Couric said to her guest during an "HBO History Makers Series" interview, "Documentaries have been made about how intelligence was incorrectly analyzed and cherry-picked to build an argument for war, and memos from that time do suggest that officials knew there was a small chance of actually finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," Rice stopped the host dead in her tracks (video follows with transcript and commentary):

That was the most satisfying video I have seen in forever.

Condi is just wondrous.

And watching Katie visible discomfort was so earned by her-I mean-Condi ate her for lunch in the most diplomatic and well spoken manner conceivable. Katie seems pretty dumb for someone who has made current events her life. I guess she hasn't learned much. Or can't learn much. Or maybe, doesn't want to learn anything that differs from idiotic liberalism.

I remember when she actually spit Bob Dole's name out when he was running for President. She snarled. If nothing else, Bob Dole risked his life for another in war and if that bitch couldn't respect that alone-screw her. I mean...can you even IMAGINE, in your wildest dreams...ANY PAST DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT risking his own skin for ANYTHING? (ala teddy)

AH well, I digress. Condi skinned Katie. Most satisfying. But more importantly, most deserved. Just beautiful.

This whole Iraq affair reminds me of the dropping of the 2nd A-bomb that all but wiped out Christianity in Japan.

ROFL! Your agenda pokes out like a snake that ate a golf club.

Go back to school, shill.

"She could use a translator...or a dog-trainer."

Now, now, Katie,

I highly recommend Condi's book, An Extraordinary, Ordinary Family about her family and her life. I am in awe of her intellect and abilities.

Rice is a very disappointing globalist RINO.

But she is a razor-sharp disappointing globalist RINO, and to see Craphead Couric try to go up against her was hysterical.

Like watching a fly buzzing around the front of a laser when it turns on.

ZAP.

How much Money is CBS going to lose on this person?

At least as much as they spent on that other CB.S. paragon of credibility -- Dan Rather.

In the early 80’s Couric worked at WRC- TV, channel 4 in Washington, DC. She was the “puff piece” reporter doing feel good stories. I don’t think she ever covered hard news or politics. She was a joke then and she remains one.

Couric is a tool of the communist worldwide network and takes her orders from putin

I agree, very well-done. I'm sure Katie's head was spinning if brain cells were not actually exploding.

Dr. Rice could also give our FLOTUS lessons on how to dress and behave with class.

As I said I would do, I am getting back to you about the course Dr. Rice teaches at Stanford. The title is: Challenges and Dilemmas in Foreign Policy from WWII to the present.

It is, apparently, the only class she actually teaches and is very intense. It’s a Foreign Relations/Political Science course open only to juniors/seniors and grad students. And they have to apply to get into it. Some 200-300 applied last year and @ 26 were in the class, roughly divided between undergrad and grad students.

Hope that answers your question, if you want more info (that I might possibly be able to answer) FReepmail me.
