From 'Bombingham' to Bush: How Condoleezza Rice fulfilled King's dream

Who would have predicted in 1954, the year of the Supreme Court's landmark Brown vs. Board of Education decision, that in less than half a century two distinguished black Americans (and one of them a woman at that) would be sharing foreign policy decision-making with the president of the United States? Perhaps Martin Luther King might have included such a prophecy in his "I Have a Dream" oration.

the republicans wanted a full recount of the entire state

The Reps did NOT want a full MANUAL recount of the entire state.

For that matter neither did the Dems until time was just about over.

Thanks to Empress Harris, time ran out.

I'm not defending Gore!

I am so confused about these statements that I think I will move on to another thread where black is black and white is white......

[Chad Fairbanks]

Our position was clear from the beginning - either a full recount state-wide, or none at all...

Clint Eastwood .... Blondie, The Man With No Name (The Good)

A wastebasket full of outspoken liberals in Hollywood, and This guy's favorite movie stars a republican politician? Man. I'm tellin' ya folks, you CAN'T make this stuff up!!!

[Hot Tabasco]

The state law also mandated a MANUAL recount.

Dittos on post #99. And fer the record, Ms. Harris was Sec. of State, not empress regardless of my tongue in cheek remark regarding same to your lunatic raving.....

"Rice couldn't "connect the dots" prior to 9/11.
She's useless! "

And you know this how ?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, stucco-bad knows EVERYTHING... just ask him, he'll tell ya... ;0)

[Tuco-bad]

Our position was clear from the beginning - either a full recount state-wide, or none at all...

The Reps from the get-go were against a MANUAL recount, county or statewide.

Tuco was the REAL star - not Blondie.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Of course we were - because you demo-craps didnt want to recount the whole state - just Gore Strongholds... of COURSE we were against that...

let's put it this way - what the dems proposed was unconstitutional, so of course we opposed it... it had to be either statewide or not at all.... THAt was our position...

Tell me... do you read much?

[WaveThatFlag]

See posts from Presidio. It's Tuco-ugly, not Tuco-bad. He's too stupid to grasp that of course. LOL.

[Chad Fairbanks]

taco-bell, taco-butt.. stucco-breath... whatever...

[Tuco-bad]

Our position was clear from the beginning - either a full recount state-wide, or none at all

The Reps position was clear from the beginning - NO manual recount statewide.

And Empress Harris made sure it wasn't going to happen.

"Rice couldn't "connect the dots" prior to 9/11.

And you know this how ?

9/11 happened under her watch.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Keep repeating it... maybe eventually it will come true...


(since I'm feeling benevolent today, let me tell you ahead of time that what I just said was sarcasm... can you say 'Sarcasm'? I knew you could... I bring this up only so that I can now explain to you that it does not work that way - just because you repeat a lie ad nauseum, does NOT mean it becomes the truth... always glad to help!)

[WaveThatFlag]

Tuco-ugly, as Presidio pointed out, you are not even familiar enough with this movie to get the title and charachter names correct. Please don't presume to emend me.

Zat right ? Ya know sumtin', after a little too much Sake, I sometimes think I can speak Mandarin Chinese but that don't mean I can.

[Tuco-bad]

That's right, rewrite history.

The fact is that the Reps opposed a MANUAL statewide recount.

If certain people weren't playing games they might get the point that the manager/coordinator role of the National Security Advisor is at the policy-making level, not the threat-assessment or operational level.

The NSA's primary arena of operations is the National Security Council, whose central members, besides the President, are the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affair. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CIA Director are not even members of the NSC, but advisors to it. The description of the NSC on the White House page doesn't even mention the FBI.

These are the personages among whom the National Security Advisor coordinates policy; I don't really think that comparing raw data from the CIA and the FBI is part of Dr. Rice's job description.

No, that is incorrect. 9-11 happened under the Clinton administration the effects were realized on 9-11.
