Incompetent Condoleezza

[SoDesuKa]

Condoleezza Rice was a failure as National Security Advisere and is now a failure as Secretary of State. When right wingers were touting her as a "brilliant scholar" I researched her background to see what she's actually written. As it turns out, she hasn't produced much scholarly work at all.



She got a lot of help with her Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Denver. This is the only book length work for which she can claim sole authorship. Her one other significant scholarly work was co-authored by an ambitious underling, Philip Zelikow. It's possible he did the writing and she stuck her name on it.

And now, here's Condoleezza's latest career-enhancing stratagem:

The State Department decided to stop publishing an annual report on international terrorism after the government's top terrorism center concluded that there were more terrorist attacks in 2004 than in any year since 1985, the first year the publication covered ...

... the U.S. intelligence officials said Rice's office decided to eliminate "Patterns of Global Terrorism" when the counterterrorism center declined to use alternative methodology that would have reported fewer significant attacks.

The officials said they interpreted Rice's action as an attempt to avoid releasing statistics that would contradict the administration's claims that it's winning the war against terrorism.
