Don't forget that Dr. Rice testified that no one foresaw the possibility of using planes for bombs, when that eventuality was part of the planning for the 1996 Oylmpics in Atlanta.

Id usually stay a millions miles away from any of the books written by the former staff but this one may actually be worth a read.

How come she disses almost everybody? I doubt the US's interests are best served when the head of US foreign policy gets along well with so few people.

Dr Rice parlayed a deft hand at the piano and expertise about the Soviet Union into high office 11 years after the USSR went out of business. She was not a good NSA -- her peak achievement in that office was ignoring the CIA warning that al Qaeda planned something very like 9/11, supplied to her days before that event. If she had a second such moment, it was her lying on oath before a senate committee about whether she had ever received that advice. Lying on oath. Got her the job, though. What evidence she did well as SecState? Doubtless the book will tell.

These few peeps from her book suggest she didn't understand all that well the environment she was employed to enter -- did she know when sitting with Hosni Mubarak that he was a leading torture contractor to the US? If she knew, did she care? -- but she was red-hot on personal impressions, including about personal tailoring. No mention in these peeps of anything she ever felt about any Israeli leader, a strange deficiency.

I hope the book is rich in detail of Dr Rice, leading war hawk. She was the one who pushed aggressively for the foolish and mistaken invasion of Iraq with her repeated remark about worrying about Iraq's ability to generate a mushroom cloud (by nuclear explosion). But probably we won't see much about this. A year or two later, on Meet the Press, she told Tim Russert that America had never gone into Iraq claiming they had nuclear weapons. (Nukular weapons: that make any difference?)

I also expect little truth among all the gossip because of her account here of how superior she felt about the nasty threatening memo from Mr Rumsfeld. I bet she didn't feel superior at the time. I think she felt either rage or dread, or both. My betting would be on dread, which she displayed on more than one Sunday morning TV news program from time to time.

whether kumb. will work or not. as we have nener tried it. The EMPIRE plan seems to be crumbling, so something else might be wprth a try.

"Talk about putting one over on the American people. This one takes the cake, it really does. Did you hear anyone even mention the White House Iraq Group until recently? Did you have a clue about who they were or what they were about? Luckily, Scooter Libby screwed up somehow and got himself indicted, and now we know. Talk about a con job.

It seems that the White House Iraq Group was quite an impressive bunch with an even more impressive job. They had to sell the entire population of the United States a really big dose of snake oil in a very short time. I kid you not. That really was their assignment, and boy did they ever carry it out in style!

The WHIG group met secretly, as is so characteristic of the Bush White House, and that might explain why so little was known about them. They worked with the diligence and dedication of any fawning Bush task force and they ultimately succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Despite its reputation, WHIG snake oil was not as difficult a sell to Americans as one might imagine, especially after 9/11. Good salespeople know their market.

The group was organized in the summer of 2002, when the nation was still reeling from the events of 9/11 and was largely distracted by the war against the Taliban. In charge of the set-up was Andrew Card, the WH Chief of Staff. Chairman of the committee was Karl Rove, then Senior Adviser to President George W. Bush. Together, these two opportunistic charlatans gathered the very best and most successful spin doctors ever assembled in one place, and the plan was set in motion.

The goal was to market a new brand of snake oil developed by the neocons who had come into power in 2000. With practiced confidence, they came together to sell the American people something they really didn’t want. They plotted to sell them a war."

Rice acknowledges surprise over Hamas
By Steven R. Weisman
Published: Monday, January 30, 2006

LONDON — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has acknowledged the U.S. failure to understand the depth of hostility among Palestinians toward their longtime leadership, leading to an election victory by the militant group Hamas that has challenged crucial assumptions underlying U.S. policies and objectives in the Middle East.

"I've asked why nobody saw it coming," Rice said Sunday, speaking of her own staff. "It does say something about us not having a good enough pulse."

Immediately after the election, Bush administration officials said the results reflected a Palestinian desire for change and not necessarily an embrace of Hamas, which the United States, Israel and the European Union consider a terrorist organization.

But Rice's comments seemed to reflect a certain amount of second-guessing over how the administration had failed to foresee, or factor into its thinking, the possibility of a Hamas victory. Indeed, Hamas's victory has set off a debate whether the administration was so wedded to its belief in democracy that it could not see the dangers of conducting elections in regions where Islamist groups were strong and democratic institutions weak."

Some people have short memories.

AS I recall, Rice herself was on an exercise machine when she saw this on CNN. She called her staff in disbelief.

Imagine that.

Looks like world war 3..I think this book is worth to read. They are the people which started Iraq war and are behind many evils like Lebanon war.

Hope she has a better grasp of formal English grammar than the person who wrote the title. Whom did she loathe, whom...

we notice several 'missing moments' in her book, FP's photo essay and FP's "8 Behind The Scenes" book excerpts; for example:

(1) Rice's attendance (along with her NSC staff) at a CIA Special Emergency Meeting called at White House by the CIA (ONLY time this was done) one month before 9/11 to demand NSC attention to unprecedented high level of warning signs about near-term upcoming attack by terrorissts on US (at yet unknown time & place) -- after emergency meeting, Rice issued no directives or instructions and accompanied Bush on another Crawford ranch holiday to cut brush. interestingly, Rice somehow 'forgot' all about this one-time-only Special Emergency Meeting in her later testimony at 9/11 Commission Hearings held after the event; when she was specifically asked by press (MUCH later) about this special meeting, she first denied that it happened -- and when some of her NSC ex-staff members admitted that they and she had attended, Rice then explained that she 'forgot all about it' because she was 'so busy' at the time during the month BEFORE 9/11. where is this magical moment in her memorandum?

(2) similarly, when it came out the CIA had e-mailed (several times) and called (3 times) to Rice as White House NSC to warn to take out 'those 16 words' in Bush's State of Union speech that alleged (wrongly) Iraq had attempted to buy Nigerian Yellowcake -- after CIA had already had same allegation removed from an earlier Bush speech in October -- Rice did NOT ask Bush to do so and later denied CIA had asked her to do so. when (MUCH later) presented with proof she had been asked by CIA to do so, Rice had her then chief of staff at State Department (who had earlier been 'chief of staff' preparing the 9/11 Commission Hearing papers) belatedly explain that Rice 'forgot' to tell Bush to remove the (false, fabricated and forged -- by whom? why?) Iraq allegations because Rice 'was so busy' in run-up to State of Union speech. where is this magical moment in her memorandum or FP's reporting on '8 behind-the-scenes moments'?

(3) could go on with Rice's active participation in the White House's Iraq Principals Committee meetings to discuss specific acts of 'enhanced interrogation' (torture) against specific detainees -- and what results were forthcoming from these proceedures (as it happened, no additional useful results were forthcoming from these highly secret and seemingly illegall/criminal proceedures ), but why bother -- how about instead FP can hold contest to select Worst NSC Advisor and Worst Sectretary of State in US history? who do you think might win such a contest -- in BOTH categories?

wae understand Standard Oil named an oil tanker after Rice -- well damn her and all who sail in her.

Well put !

Our Obama is also an unindicted war criminal. As the US loses influence in the world, the chances improve that our criminals will be brought before the Hague.

Unfortunate enough to be permanently associated with a war for lies as if "we know they have WMD's and we know where they are" isn't enough then gloves coming off when they had never been on and going geefully to the darkside of things... Our US history of lies as the Great White Fathers in Washington lied the Native Americans out of all their lands... the history of Manhattan Island as we(the dutch) gained if for trinkets and beads from Natives who did seem to have a lawyer to read the fine print and then the Englis just walcked in and took it because the Dutch had no guns... or a Ward Churchill who loses his job for criticizing the work done in the WTC while a few years later the financial wizards there drove Iceland to bankrupcy and Greece remains to be seen and pension funds around the world and lots of mortgages here at home cheated out of existence... and we just keep on going as if nothing much happened except we are bringing untidy democrazy and untidy free market war fo all kinds of oil and money.

When presented with proof she had been asked by CIA to do so, Rice had her then chief of staff at State Department (who had earlier been 'chief of staff' preparing the 9/11 Commission Hearing papers) belatedly explain that Rice 'forgot' to tell Bush to remove the (false, fabricated and forged -- by whom? Iraq allegations because Rice 'was so busy' in run-up to State of Union speech.

Rice is/was, like Obama, another shining example of affirmative action run amuck. You can tell a lot about her by her favorable versus unfavorable impressions of people. She didn’t like Cheney or Rumsfeld, I did/do, I think they are great Americans who had the best interests of the US at heart. She liked Gates; and, I think Gates is like a cockroach, no matter whose administration it is, he is still there, well, stepping down recently. IMHO, that means he is not principled, has no sports betting core beliefs, and that can be said of a lot of these spineless ‘pubbies both appointed and elected. I’m not a Rice fan.

Condi is obvioulsy in need of some quick money, so what is the sensible thing to do? Write a book of course and let the media and anyone who wants some terrible reading....Does anyone actually read these books, besides the media? Seems like a waste of money and more importantly time....a huge time suck, just like the tracy andersondiet, but really...what a waste of time and hopefully this will be the end of the line of Condolezza showing up in the media for the forseeable future and hopefully ever. I have a buddy who owns modern furniture Austin and also contemporary furniture Austin and he said that she was like talking to a bobble head doll and not really that interesting. Thanks for posting useless info FP...again.

It is extremely disappointing to discover that our former Vice President and Secretary of State have such a strained and bellicose relationship. It makes no sense that two of the most influential and important people in the United States wouldn't be able to put their differences aside for the ultimate benefit of our country. They both need to learn manners and a bit of respect. If they had come to a drugrehabfl then they quite possibly could have learned a more productive way to handle such an important relationship. Their disagreements make the U.S. appear as if we are not a cohesive, unified, country.
