In excerpts in the latest Newsweek, Rice says in a briefing on the issue in early 2002 President Bush, quote   "started the meeting in a way that completely destroyed any chance of getting an answer. 'This is something Condi has wanted to talk about,' he said. I could immediately see that the generals no longer thought it to be a serious question.' end quote. Rice, who was National Security Advisor at the time writes that her number 2, Stephen Hadley said he would have resigned after the President's remark. Rice says, quote "As the importance of the issue was revealed in the days after the war ... I wondered if Steve had been right." ] end newsreader quote Photograph Stephen Hadley, caption reads - "I would have resigned" (If you resign I get your job as NSA so be my guest and go) Photograph Condoleezza Rice, caption reads - "I'm not resigning."

This was a disloyal motive perhaps. Rice for President Yahoo Group "Condoleezza Rice for President in 2012.

Wondering if the book will include an admission that her administration was inept when they failed to act on the  pre-9/11memo titled, "Al Quaeda to Attack USA".  And that she is sorry that the only Terrorist Attack happened on the Bush watch while intelligence forewarned them. 

The whole nation needs a shower after your filth, Condi.
