Condi takes one for the boss (sort of)
Sec of State Condi Rice took the blame for 9/11 in an interview with CNN before throwing in a few weasel clauses to show she didn't really mean it.
"The worst breach of national security in the history of the United States came under your watch," Verjee persisted.Who could have imagined?
"Absolutely," Rice agreed.
"Did you ever consider resigning?" asked Verjee. "Taking responsibility?"
"I do take responsibility," Rice finally acknowledged, "but this was a systemic failure. ... We, the administrations before us, had not thought of this as the kind of war against the terrorists that we were going to have to wage."
