I never disagreed with you more. I think Condi is a waste of space. And that she has failed at every position she has had. She was the National Security adviser when we were attacked. Her arrogance was damaging to the U.S.

I form my opinions about political types from C-Span mostly. Unless I just happen to run across something by reading or surfing the web. On C-Span they have book tv, congress in session, liberals and conservatives. But they usually play the entire event or speech.
I like to see these people give speeches and answer questions about things other than the news bite of the day.
So I saw her (CR) on a couple of these programs and I was very impressed. I looked up her bio and I was not only impressed, but jealous; I felt like a dork. Seriously. This woman has accomplished a variety of mental feats, and she's not even hitting her stride. She reminds me of my daughter who is an "A" personality -very dynamic and time oriented. And timely.
Only thing is Condaleeza Rice is successfully managing the diplomacy of global anti terrorism. And that's not even all she's responsible for.
When she speaks, it is frankly and clearly. And you get to understand a lot of the idiosyncrasies of foreign relations- as they pertain to terrorism, the economy of the world, and so so much more.

Not exactly. To wit, I stated that because the source is owned by the government, you could never possibly be sure if anything from it was true. After all, there are NO privately owned Russian media outlets, are there?

I don't have a problem with Russia or Russians. I have a problem with taking any news from the government as a simple matter of fact. Hopefully you will make a habit of cross-referencing anything you find from Russian news sources with privately held media sources. I sure would.
Yes. You bolding everything hurts my eyes.

We are going to disagree. I think she is good at bluffing. I can't think of any successful policy with her name on it. She was backing Israels attacks in Lebennon. Cluster bombs in populated areas is illegal. But Condi backed it. She refused to listen to people she felt were beneath her prior to 9-11. Richard Clarke tried to get her attention to no avail. Then when she was given an intelligence report about the threat she ignored it because she said it didn't give the the actual plans. Flight schedules and the like. She didn't follow up on the report either. In fact what was keeping her so busy. After all that was her job. NSC. That was the only thing she should have been doing in her position. So again, What was keeping her too busy to pay attention to intelligence reports.

What can I say? Those were my impressions of her. If she is lying about any of the pre 9-11 stuff, then that opens the door to one great big conspiracy theory.
