black…MYstory

Well, it’s like I’ve said before in regards to the Bush Administration and their neo-con talking heads. They have no problem hanging their highly-touted blacks out to dry, with Colin Powell being the most egregious example though, there are others (Claude Allen, Alphonso Jackson, etc.)

But, by far, this has to take the cake.

I never thought I would see the day I would be defending Condoleeza Rice but, this day has come.

I saw a clip from a recent episode of CNN’s Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer, where he had what could only be described as a neo-con support group meeting. You have four people who, basically, are still trying to justify they positions on the Iraq war while simultaneously casting blame on everyone else, even though these folks were instrumental in the lead up to the war.

But, I caught something at the end that really shocked me. Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute proceeds to blame Condoleeza Rice for the decision to occupy Iraq. Okay, let that sink in. When has Condoleeza been anything but a loyal footsoldier for these interests? Now, we have her being thrown under the bus and blamed for the quagmire we’re in in Iraq.

I guess we are not supposed to remember that the neocons have long had plans on Iraq. So, now, we are to believe that it’s not Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld or their conservative think tanks that wanted this occupation but, it was Condoleeza Rice, in her role as National Security Advisor, calling these plays?

You know, it’s funny, I thought personal responsibility was a core principle of Republicans.
