Rice: Still Lying After All These Years

On the Sunday morning talk show circuit, Condi Rice repeated the lie that Saddam had ties to al Qaeda, despite the fact that a senate report released on Friday debunking that claim should have finally put that matter to rest.

When presented with questions about those links on FOX News Sunday, Rice had this to say:

"There were ties between Iraq and Al-Qaeda," she said on Fox News Sunday.

Rice specifically linked Al-Qaeda's presumed leader in Iraq at the time, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, to the effort to develop chemical arms.

"We know that Zarqawi was running a poison network in Iraq," she said, reaffirming statements made by President George W. Bush and herself prior to the March 2003 invasion of Iraq linking Baghdad with Osama bin Laden's group.

Rice stood by the claim Sunday despite a February 2002 report from the Defense Department's intelligence arm which was just released by a Senate Committee and stated that Iraq was "unlikely to have provided Bin Laden any useful (chemical or biological) knowledge or assistance."

"That particular report I don't remember seeing," Rice said when asked if she and Bush had not ignored the assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency.

"There are conflicting intelligence reports all the time," she said.

She was the National Security Adviser at the time yet she doesn't 'remember' seeing that report? Right.

The gig is up, Condi. The only thing left is to finally tell the truth.
