Under Oath: The perjury of Condoleeza Rice

She was under oath. Nothing about sex, though.

Only lies which led to 3,000 deaths on 9/11 and thousands more since.

Is impeachment only applicable if one is caught with a semen-stained garment?

Claim vs. Fact: Rice's Q&A Testimony Before the 9/11 Commission

Planes as Weapons
CLAIM: "I do not remember any reports to us, a kind of strategic warning, that planes might be used as weapons."

FACT: Condoleezza Rice was the top National Security official with President Bush at the July 2001 G-8 summit in Genoa. There, "U.S. officials were warned that Islamic terrorists might attempt to crash an airliner" into the summit, prompting officials to "close the airspace over Genoa and station antiaircraft guns at the city's airport."

CLAIM: "I was certainly not aware of at the time that I spoke" in 2002.

FACT: While Rice may not have been aware of the 12 separate and explicit warnings about terrorists using planes as weapons when she made her denial in 2002, she did know about them when she wrote her March 22, 2004 Washington Post op-ed. In that piece, she once again repeated the claim there was no indication "that terrorists were preparing to attack the homeland using airplanes as missiles."
