Condi Rice in 2008
Still Running
National Security Advisor Condolezza Rice – as was to be expected from a former Stanford Provost – was in large part a slam-dunk today for Bush, or at least a nice three pointer, and in a game where he’s only up by a basket or two in most polls, three points gives a lot of Big Mo. Much of Clarke’s so-called “warning” is revealed to be far afield from the smoking gun Lefties wish it to be.
What is truly remarkable is that even the smart articulate lefties, like Josh Marshall, can’t give up their desire to discredit her – or more to the point – place inordinate blame upon the office of the NSA for no other reason than it seems nefarious for her to not want to testify. But even moreso is the Left's complete ironclad desire to ignore the need, that's NEED, for the war to be fought and won.
Josh Marshall writes: “On the level of atmospherics, she struck me as surprisingly tense and anxious during her opening statement. And she tried to skate through on many points by resorting to repeated instances of semantic mumbojumbo like the fraudulent distinction between "rolling back" al Qaida and "eliminating" al Qaida, or her equal frail distinction between tactics and strategy.”
This statement is staggering in its own semantic mumbojumbo and fraudulent distinction. It is painfully clear to me that a Left – even a smart left – does not or will not admit the difference between elimination and non-elimination. This learned man is unable to allow for the distinction between an existential declared war and a protracted, random, wainscoting of a war. The very fact that this willfully, selectively uninformed Left is recommending John Kerry for a war president is a potentially clear indication of his inability to wage it.
Now pouring over the transcript but….a better day for Bush than Kerry.
