Barb – I have encountered many “Condoleezas” (white, black, male, female) in the government – pleasant people who seek out consensus and suck their way up the ladder through amiable consensus.
There are very few people who wish to have the role of Court Skeptic and point out the flaws in the so-called consensus, the spurious logic, the unproven assertions, etc. If you wish to be the person who gets to serve on lots of “expert” committees, be the yes-man or yes-woman. If you don’t mind never being invited back to attend program reviews of projects that later fail, be the Court Skeptic.

[Actually, Myron, in the private sector, where you have to make something that works and that the masses will want to buy—men with good minds who can do all that are not shunned as in government, where the aim is to move taxpayer dollars around. Of course, in the giant corporations, which are comprised of many fiefdoms, and, like government, lack a clear chain of custody—in these entities, things work almost as badly.–IM]

But as you say, the buck ends with Bush, not the “consensus” of nodding heads who merely repeated the same bulls**t 1 million times over as if that made it true….

Condoleezza Rice was absolutely the wrong person for the job (either job, National Security Advisor or Secretary of State.) She was expert in matters Soviet, which do not equate to matters Middle Eastern except in the minds of Americans (and others) blissfully ignorant of foreign cultures. Given the executive nod by Bush the Younger, she ventured into uncharted (for her) territory where, had she any sense comporting with what is required to discharge the duties of high office, she might have trusted the analyses of those more experienced (CIA, specifically) regarding conditions in the Middle East. She didn’t—and her “mushroom cloud” comment (Saddam may nuke us!) resounds ignobly to this day. Yet the buck has to stop at the top: George W. Bush picked this incompetent for his Cabinet; and given his recent efforts to rehabilitate his image (perhaps to place brother Jeb more favorably for a national office run—the Bushes are a “dynasty,” after all), it’s important to remember the rotten choices he made, and their consequences.

I am ashamed that I ever voted for W. He was a terrible President. Roger, I live in Houston and I see the same things here. So much of our city is crime ridden and looks like a third world country. Many of these problems caused by immigrants from south of the border. If I could find comparable employment in the midwest I would leave in a second.

Remember how they said by “fighting a war over there we won’t have to fight one over here.”?

I drove home today from work. On the way home I passed through the Mexican suburb of Farmers Branch, Texas. I say Mexican only because it now looks like Chiapas, Mexico. I had to contain my rage as I drove past the dental clinic with all the advertencias festooning the windows. They advertise the fact that the clinic proudly accepts Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program). CHIP brags on its website that it does not check the immigration status of an American (sic) child’s parents. http://www.chipmedicaid.com/english/qualify.asp

Remember this ongoing invasion of the Republic on Veterans Day and not the fraudulent invasion of the artificial construct known as Iraq.

It’s the invasion the elites would rather you forget.

Unfortunately, it would take forever to find my old computer archives but I was screaming how the “case for war” was utterly bogus. James Webb and Marine General Zinni said as much. Ron Paul said it as well as did the paleocons.

Sadly, some “libertarians” went along with and still go along with (Boortz, some of the CATO/Reason group…) the “Liberation of Iraq” IL-LOGIC.

What the hell is an aluminum tube good only for a nuclear weapons program? Is this a new law of physics? That is like the warehouse seen from space that “could house a bio warfare lab” – yes and the warehouse could house a ballet studio, cell phone store, or strip joint!

And 95% of Republicans/Conservatives engage in the BIG LIE to this very day!!! Few of the idiotic media enablers have apologized as well for going along with the propagandized poop.
