Inaccuracies in Condoleezza Rice's Discussion With Stanford Student

In her conversation with this Stanford student, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a number of inaccurate statements regarding the Bush Administration's authorization of torture. I've included links to all relevant documents.

Nazi Germany didn't attack the homeland of the US?

Neither did Iraq nor Afghanistan!

[MrBullfrog9876]

Hey "Honey" let me ask you if you have done --YOUR--- Homework. Mrs. Rice--- did you know that Bin Laden was planning to attack inside the United States? Only answer yes or no! LISTEN TO ME SWEETY! Oh you had no idea about terrorists using airplanes? What about the Aug. sixth memo Mrs. Rice you did not do your homework and 3000 people died.

[MrBullfrog9876]

I would love to watch Jesse Ventura ask this evil woman some questions, he wouldnt put up with the "listen sweety" "Do your homework" grrrrrr!

Condi lied to the 9/11 Widows when she said the "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US" memo was not a warning. It warned of preparations for hijackings and planned attacks in the US. See my video "Condi Lied Under Oath to the 9/11 Widows"

Amazing! Such a cynicism! "If our president ordered it, it's a fact that it is no violation of any international agreement" Yeah, sure, cause reallity means nothing compared to the signature of the president. Law before facts! That's why it was legal. In other words: to kill, to invade, to torture is legal, while smoking dope and drinking beer under 21, illegal. Very coherent!

[thecontinuum]

Yeah, sure! Pure rethoric! She rather had 100,000 Iraquies dead and theoldest civilization in the world destroyed, without absolutely no reason, for that people was completely innocent.

There was surely no economical reason for the invation to Iraq (please read the sarcasm).

She says that you have to be sure of what's good. The question is for whom good? According to which parameters?

They didn't torture anyone? Ha! HA! Of course she didn't, she just ordered it, and somebody else did it!
