Dubya on Condi Rice
"I value her judgment and her intelligence -- uhh -- but, uhh -- her job is also to deal interagency, and to help unstick things that may get stuck -- is the best way to put it. She's an unsticker."
-- White House, Oct. 28, 2003

unsticker? :eyes:

1. She was supposed to have been the National Security Advisor.
Edited on Thu Aug-19-04 12:10 AM by janx
That doesn't sound like a job description for the NSA.

Does anyone have even a basic description of what the NSA is supposed to do? (Not Chimpy's.)

Edit: I found this

Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs: Condoleezza Rice
Job Description: The National Security Advisor advises and assists the President on national security and foreign policies, and coordinates these policies among various government agencies.

(202) 456-9491

But the National Security Advisor is not mentioned in the link.

10. here
The Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor, serves as the chief advisor to the President of the United States on national security issues. He or she serves on the National Security Council within the Executive Office of the President.

The National Security Advisor is appointed by the President without confirmation by the Senate. As such he or she is not connected to the bureaucratic politics of the Departments of State and Defense and therefore is able to offer independent advice. The power and role of the National Security Advisor varies from administration to administration.

12. She's got a great track record so far...
"I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile," said national security adviser Condoleeza Rice on May 16, 2002.

"How is it possible we have a national security advisor coming out and saying we had no idea they could use planes as weapons when we had FBI records from 1991 stating that this is a possibility," said Kristen Breitweiser, one of four New Jersey widows who lobbied Congress and the president to appoint the commission.

WASHINGTON — President Bush is giving his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, the authority to manage postwar Iraq and the rebuilding of Afghanistan. *scratches head*

16. It's just that "traditional hijackings" are more common and Condi was
okay with those kind. Only 200 or 300 fatalities is not worth giving the FAA the headsup on a possible attack.

Yep, Dubya does the sticking and Condi does the unsticking. No wonder they call it the Oval Office. :P
