Condi doesn’t need a bible she needs truth serum!

Regarding the entire bunch-

Maybe we’re hanging the wrong people?

In response to Robert Steel’s excellent listing of Cheney’s impeachable crimes one more may well be added after he testifies: LYING UNDER OATH.

I wouldn’t believe anything that any of those serial liars connected with the Bush administration say any further than I could see them, maybe not even that far.

Once a cheater, always a cheater especially a sordid cheater like her !

How about Bob Wodward’s State of Denial ? She didn’t have any value to be a secretary of state when only know spitting out then licking back !

None of the folks testifying have any credibillty anyway, if they can lie to the 300 million Americans on national T V in front of the world. Lying to a judge and jury is a piece of cake.

Condolezza will save us.  She has money and lower middle class values.

I don’t think the bible is sufficient for these administration folks. They need to be wired up to lie detectors.

With a large video monitor showing the needle movements to the court and jury.

The sad thing about all of this is, lots of Americans voted for and support these people.

WTF?!

i type this sniggering: she may raise her hand all she wants and swear to any text under the sun, but she will always be a pathological liar like the depraved cadre she is an inextricable part of.

That special edition asbestos Bible will be getting a workout at Scooter’s trial. After Condi and Dickie both put their hands on it we’ll see if the evangelicals want it back. Swearing in will have a whole new meaning after this circus.

Do you think she might actually say something?

I mean, talk about guaranteed frustration! Listening to Condoleezza Rice “testify” is almost as painful as listening to George W. Bush speak extemporaneously!

Sliding to the edge of your chair, white-knuckling the arms, feeling your toenails curl ... waiting ... waiting ... waiting for an answer that’s actually something besides a full circle.
No beginning, no end.
In fact the doughnut ... absent dough, just a hole.
Arghhh! Who needs it?

Lots of noise and words and facial expressions followed by the realization that ... nothing was said. Duh.

I’ll wait for the news report which wont say anything either but the Bloggers will pick it up, dissect it and let us know if there was anything worth noting.
Thank you.

“The names of Cheney, Rice and her predecessor, Colin Powell, appeared on a long list of government officials and news reporters who may be called as witnesses or whose names may come up in the trial of Cheney’s former chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby.”

And what will Rice say that Colin Powell is still looking for chemical weapons in Iraq.

...Here is a list of impeachable offenses [Cheney has done]:
1) Secret meetings in violation of the law to include exclusion of government experts
2) Refusal to honor demand from Congress for a list of participants
3) Lies to the public about Iraq, while holding maps of oil fields and already having in mind a US-only domination of those oilfields (he first focused on Iraqi oil while serving Secretary of Defense Brown)
4) Over-ruling of the Environmental Protection Agency on very important matters including its concern over Halliburton’s reliance on hydraulic fracturing that uses chemicals that contaminate aquifers--Cheney personally ensured that the EPA’s wording was replaced with Halliburton’s wording.
5) Consistent and pervasive usurpation of Congressional authorities and consistent and maliciously deliberate avoidance of appropriate disclosure.
6) Fostered attacks on Sy Hersh, and considered authorizing a break-in on his home.
7) From the 1970’s, see also Ron Susskind’s One-Percent Doctrine, subverted the authority of the Vice President, Nelson Rockefeller, and teams with Justice Scalia (then an assistant attorney general) to increase executive privileges and push back reforms.
8) As a Congressman personally blew off Russian offer in 1983 for arms cuts, and subverted the authority of the President and the Secretary of State then serving.
9) As an extremist Republican, supported Ollie North and the White House in violating the Congressional prohibitions on aid to the Contras, and obstructed justice thereafter.
10) Page 78 has a lovely discussion of how Cheney and North were “in the zone” in deceiving the public and Congress during the televised hearings.
11) Adopted as his own the lunatic report by Khalizad (who is a very lazy scholar, see my review of his rotten RAND book on revolution) and Libby, on how the US as a superpower should be able to do ANYTHING.
12) Attempted to undermine due process and keep tactical nuclear weapons in the Army inventory.
13) Subverted the authority of the Secretary of State (Colin Powell) by allowing his daughter to overrule Ambassadors and meet privately with various heads of state.
13) Lied repeatedly to the public about his continuing financial equities with Halliburton, and was so involved in giving Halliburton up to 16 billion in no bid contracts.
14) Shut both foreign competitors and more cost-effective indigenous contracting solutions, severely harming the national security of the United States by fostering an environment of unproductive looting by Halliburton, Bechtel, and others.
15) Ignored his dual mandates on terrorism and intelligence. The book suggests that Bush was not briefed on Al Qaeda for the first eight months he was in office (the Vice President’s priorities were energy and missile defense).
16) Personally impeded negotiations with North Korea after they proved amenable to diplomatic engagement.
17) Personally rejected Iranian overtures for negotiation conveyed by the Swiss in 2003
18) Personally reinforced Rumsfeld on use of torture, by-passing the President’s more measured restrictions.
19) Conspired with Speaker Hastert to subordinate the House of Representatives, using a special office of his own (first time in history) so that Representatives could be brought to him rather than his calling on them.
20) Manipulated the President into numerous “signing statements” inconsistent with the will of Congress that ignored legislation then in force.
21) “Bureaucratically emasculated” the President (page 177--if the President has a friend that reads this review, PLEASE get the book and the review to the President--he really may have no idea his balls have been cut off)
