1. Of all the members of the Bush inner circle, I found her to be the most appalling.
In my naive way, I assumed that her academic background would have instilled the discipline of basic honesty; the understanding that without the willingness to be forthright and truthful at all times, you have nothing.

She always was a rank bullshitter. It's now clear she was a pure liar as well. No nuances here: she knew what she was saying was incorrect, and she planned to mislead with every word.

3. A liar for sure and a piss poor liar at that
She never has been able to disguise the fact that she is lying. The rapid eye blinks, the defensive body language, the nervous vocal tics, all give her away the minute she starts. I have always been amazed the bush admin even allowed her to speak in public, she's so bad at hiding the lies.

This (see below) wasn't a little suspicious to you?

5. I don't get the connection, but this wasn't exactly a recent epiphany.
I have been disappointed in her for years. (I developed more respect for her as Secy of State)

6. Her blatant dishonesty began
in full view when she tried to cover her ass as a complete and total failure as national security director by having September 11th happen on her watch. It was HER failure because it was HER job to be protecting the nation's security. Her bullshit defense in her quavering voice that no one could imagine terrorists using hijacked plans as weapons was an absolute lie. Project Bojinka (sp?) predicted such a thing in the Clnton administration and the August 2001 memo was practically a blueprint for what followed just weeks later.

This so-called Russian expert ignored and demoted terrorism and OBL expert Richard Clark, ignored Clinton officials who told her that OBL was her biggest problem, and failed to read the intelligence about imminent attacks. September 11th was HER failure along with others, and in order to make the American public feel that something was being done about it, they lied us into a war with
Iraq - convincing the public that Sadaam had something to do with 9/11. And in order to make that false connection, she and her boss and her colleagues constructed a torture program. She helped plan it, helped implement it and she condoned it.

Condi is a terrible liar. Her voice shakes and she gets very haughty and dismissive of whoever dares question her. She needs to be at the front of the line if and when justice is dispensed.
