Condoleeza Rice testifying under oath before 9-11 Commission in public is necessary antidote to pandemic political cannibalism spread by the CC-DNA of Richard Clarke, et. al.·
None of us should celebrate the fact that political cannibalism spawned by the 9-11 Commission investigation has made sworn testimony by Condoleeza Rice in public before the Commission a necessary antidote to the pandemic scope of such cannibalism spread by the CC-DNA of Richard Clarke, et al by self-righteously promoting self-serving, half-hindsight revisionist history to generate cannibalistic hysteria against those who merely failed to prevent the most brilliantly executed, counter-intuitive example of barbarism in modern times on September 11, 2001, as though those who failed to prevent it somehow deserve moral blame for its success. The damage to the country from such propagandistic attack, which the dominant media has embraced with religious fervor while worshiping at the feet of Clarke ( whom 60 Minutes culpably described falsely as a "registered Republican") has reached the tipping point of being more harmful to the country than the damage to executive privilege caused by permitting Rice to testify under oath in public before the 9-11 Commission.
The dominant media have so obsessively fawned over Richard Clarke's frontal assault on Bush, Rice, Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz that they have been utterly unwilling to perform even a cursory analysis of the flawed premises for Clarke's statement on 60 Minutes that if Bush were to have paid more attention to terrorism, 9-11 "might have been prevented." They've been equally unwilling to give more than scant attention to Clarke's sworn retraction of such statement before the 9-11 Commission, when he conceded that even if Bush were to have done everything he (Clark) had recommended, it "would not have prevented 9-11."
The 9-11 Commission has become the Church Committee Redux. One searches in vain for a compelling reason to engage in the public spectacle of 9-11 Commission hearings so severely damaging our intelligence-collection abilities, the degeneration of which begun long ago as a result of prior public spectacles and over-arching legislative "remedies" sharply decreased whatever remote chances that we might otherwise have been lucky enough to learn enough soon enough to prevent 9-11. One also searches in vain for anything other than naive, blind faith as a basis for anyone having assumed that a "Commission" composed of political people would have any realistic chance of conducting this inquiry without it becoming intensely partisan. Formation of such commissions in an attempt to provide an imprimatur of "non-partisan objectivity" for inquiries into what are essentially intensely political issues is a fool's errand.
The political desire of Bush's opponents to try to affix moral blame upon him for 9-11 and his post-9-11 strategy that eschews the old law-enforcement/tic-tac-toe tactics against terrorism is so intense that it's a virtual certainty that the slightest factual error by Rice in her testimony will spawn cries of "perjury" among the Bush-haters. However, one hopes such claims are more likely to fall on deaf ears than the constant media drumbeat exalting Clarke's testimony over Rice's prior un-sworn, un-public appearance before the 9-11 Commission.
A Rice Diet to Cure the CC-DNA Syndrome¹.
Our
Uncle Sam's head's in a spin-zone
an ailment contracted, not in-grown.
Its symptoms are mean;
its color is green;
its name is the Richard Clarke Syndrome.
When
Dubya sought expert advice
for Sam to resume feeling nice,
the experts approved
a diet of truth
prescribed by a Doctor named Rice.
It's
good Dubya's taken advice
from allies requesting that Rice
by Bush be allowed
to lecture the crowd
in frenzies that Clarke has enticed.
It's
certain that answers by Rice
could not be enough to entice
the Bush-hating mob
to credit the job
of Bush in the warfare we fight.
However,
for folks not confined
to partisan realms for the blind,
the answers by Rice
will likely entice
approval of plans she designed.
The
tipping point soon is approaching
when statements by Kerry reproaching
the strategy used
by Dubya will skew
the voters t'ward Bush without coaching.
It's a certainty that nothing Rice could say would in any way diminish the anti-Bush fervor of the Left and the Secular Fundamentalists. However, given the demonstrable lack of merit in the claims that 9-11 wouldn't have happened absent callous indifference, normal people not seized with such ideologically blind hatred will find her answers persuasive. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.
