The author of this attack is the Sinator from New York; the object of this attack is Condi Rice.
I find this more than interesting ... several posters noted that when Condi appeared for her Security briefing, she was a bit nervous (I attribute that to the enormity of the total picture); President Bush made mention that he, along with his national security team, and his administration, had done all that they could; a reporter by the name of Mark questioned Ari with this:
"Well, you're implying that there's no way that any President of the United States - not just this one, but that any President of the United States, is capable of making an error in judgment, or that his administration - or her administration, is incapable of making an error and not funneling information up." In this same press conference, Ari spoke of the Sinator hitting the Senate floor with remarks before hitting the phone to check.
All in all, it's my opinion that this poster referring to Condi as a target is valid; the Sinator is definitely on the warpath to the White House; she'd like to remove Condi from Vice Presidential consideration in 04; Team Bush is at the ready.
