Condi Rice Warns of Terrorist Attacks if We Abandon Afghanistan

Posted by: Mike's America @ 7:35 pm in Bush Thankathon  | 177 views

We’ve missed her voice of reason these past months!

We haven’t heard much from former Secretary of State Condi Rice since Obama took over. The following is an extensive interview by Nina Easton. It’s an excellent reminder of what it was like when adults were in charge:



The money quote is:

“The last time we left Afghanistan, and we abandoned Pakistan,” she said, “that territory became the very territory on which Al Qaeda trained and attacked us on September 11th. So our national security interests are very much tied up in not letting Afghanistan fail again and become a safe haven for terrorists.

“It’s that simple,” she declared, “if you want another terrorist attack in the U.S., abandon Afghanistan.”

For those readers who wish to take a short walk down memory lane I offer this replay of the pictorial tribute to Condi Rice as part of the Bush Thankathon.

I think that maybe the protocol of past administrations being quiet on the new, has become passe, especially with the problems the new is bringing down on us. Candi, George, and Mr. Cheney must speak up before it’s too late.

Ms. Rice is correct. The region is currently not stable anyway. Obama has proven that sound advice is wasted on him. It is now His War to lose. If Obama does not listen to his Military Commanders that are more familiar with the situation than He is no one can make a difference.
He is the Pretender in Chief. His call.

I fear that Condi is right. I pray we don’t have to find out.

I have not always agreed with Condi over the years, but she is always a breath of fresh air. She is fairly spot on in her assessments here…………….my exception is that I just have a really tough time believing obama is a patriot doing what he believes is right for the country – I think he and his cronies are doing what they think is right for them.

Condi Rice is everything the left claims Opie to be — intelligent and articulate. Opie is so intelligent his college grades have been buried to protect his image. He’s so articulate he’s completely lost without TOTUS.

Make no mistake.

Barack Obama’s political survival, career and legacy- everything- rests entirely on Afghanistan.
