[lbo-talk] Condoleeza Rice

[Joseph Wanzala]

Condoleezza Rice seems to be the Administration official closest to Bush, 
the one he trusts and relies on the most. She played a huge role in the 
dissemination of the lies that led to the attack on Iraq, and has now been 
appointed Grand Vizier of both Iraq and Afghanistan (she muscled practically 
everybody in the Administration aside to take control). She is a 
tremendously enthusiastic, if not particularly gifted, liar, having lied 
about 9-11 and the supposed inability of anyone to predict it, the 
justifications for the war on Iraq, the Niger uranium story and how it got 
into the state of the union address, and most recently, of how Rumsfeld was 
aware of his upcoming effective demotion (a lie revealed by Rumsfeld 
himself). Rice has been rumored to be in line to replace Colin Powell when 
he resigns in disgust, but I don't see why she would accept such a demotion. 
In her current status as national security adviser, she is the most powerful 
person in the White House after Cheney, and Cheney's star appears to be 
fading fast. She has built the position of national security adviser up to 
the point where it rivals the importance of the position during the heady 
days of Henry the K. She is the most powerful female in American political 
history, and may be the most powerful female political figure in the world 
since Margaret Thatcher, and possibly since Queen Elizabeth I.
