'NYT' Reporter's Condi Book Will Reveal 'Conflicts' With Cheney

[RamboLiberal]

Condoleezza Rice's relationship with Vice President Dick Cheney in recent years was "much more conflict-driven than we have been led to believe," according to Elisabeth Bumiller of The New York Times, who has just finished a biography of the secretary of state.

"There was much more conflict on the Middle East and detainees and on Guantanamo Bay than has been written," Bumiller, who returned to the Times D.C. bureau in September after a 15-month leave, tells E&P. "There had been disagreements over those and a little leading up to Iraq. But it is clear she was behind the war."

-----

Declining to reveal too much from the book, titled "Condoleezza Rice: An American Life," Bumiller said "there is a lot of stuff about her relationship with the president that was interesting." She adds that she found Rice to be "more human, someone who has made mistakes. She spent part of her college years floundering. She wasn't a brilliant student."

Bumiller also looked at her time as Stanford University provost, saying, "she got into a real tangle with women and minorities and a real conflict with factions out there."

Amazing we had all this propaganda about Condi being brilliant - and what we got was another "C" student who didn't have a clue about the Middle East.

1. Are they going to ask Condi forgo the advance and only

take the royalties. The republicans did that when Hillary had a book published in 2000.

[Vanje]

10. Yeah but

Obama made the Republicans do it.


(snide!)

2. "He said 'tomato.' I said 'tomahto."

"He said 'fuck off.' I said 'Excuse me'"

"He liked eating babies for lunch. I preferred eating W."

Such turmoil! How did she cope?

3. Whoopti-doo Condi. It just doesn't matter.

If you're a top member of Team Satan, it just doesn't matter if you and Bealzebub have an occasional tiff.

You're still just plain evil!

7. He wouldn't have to actually shoot her.

Just walk by her office from time to time with his shotgun in his hand.

9. LOL! n/t

6. "She wasn't a brilliant student." Bush, on the other hand, thinks she is. Whom do we believe?

8. Compared to Bush, she probably was a brilliant student. NT
