She wasn't in the White House at the time ~ obviously. But I think I'd rather target that Rice gal ~ she's played it as her just being a good soldier carrying on in a tough situation fed incomplete information.

Her apparent stupidity leads us all away from the obvious conclusion ~ that she was involved in this from the beginning ~ and might well have a boyfriend/girlfriend somewhere in the DOD chain of command who could side track everything and did so.

Don't let folks off the hook on this one just because they seem remarkably stupid.

Susan Rice was Sandy “docs in my socks” Berger’s aide. She figured prominently in the Sudan pharmaceutical bombing case in Clinton’s time.

Remember Nigerflap/PlameNameGame?

[Former Ambassador to Gabon] Wilson claimed President Bush lied about whether Saddam Hussein was seeking yellowcake uranium from Niger, and Wilson knew it because the CIA sent him there. The Senate report says, if anything, the truth is the opposite of what Wilson claimed. But that doesn't seems to bother the Kerryites, who yesterday hailed Wilson's "integrity" and said he's still very much a part of the team that Kerry hopes will make him commander in chief. "Joe Wilson has served for many months as an informal adviser to the Kerry campaign and continues to do so," said Kerry foreign policy adviser Susan Rice...... --- New York Post , July 29, 2004

Also noter that Rice is vouching for Amb. Joe Wilson here....and Amb. Wilson is noted for spending the evening dining with Saddam Hussein's ARMS BUYER on the eve of Saddam's invasion of Kuwait.

The London Telegraph's weekend revelations raise deeply disturbing questions about the extent and magnitude to which President Clinton, his national-security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger, and senior terrorism and State Department officials — including Assistant Secretary of State for East Africa, Susan Rice — politicized intelligence data, relied on and even circulated fabricated evidence in making critical national-security decisions, and presided over a string of intelligence failures during the months leading up to the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
Analysis of documents found in the rubble of Iraq's intelligence headquarters show that contrary to conventional wisdom, Iraqi military and intelligence officials sought out al Qaeda leaders, not the other way around, and ultimately met with bin Laden ...------ "The Clinton Intel Record Deeper failures revealed. ," by Mansoor Ijaz, National Review Online, 4-29-2003

On one of these threads someone’s theory is that Hillary is just a figurehead — has the position in return for her bowing out of the ‘08 election. Actually running the show at the State Dept. is Susan Rice who reports directly to Valerie Jarrett.
