Condoleezza Rice Plays with Aretha Franklin for Charity (Video)
Condoleezza Rice, the former Secretary of State, played with and accompanied Aretha Franklin at a recent charity concert in Philadelphia. It was a bit of rare, bipartisan music being made. Also a bit of nostalgia about a head diplomat about whom one did not have to worry about causing the next foreign crisis and whose outside interests include music and not plotting to supplant the President of the United States in the next election.

Post a CommentMs Rice can really tickle the ivorys. That must have been some concert with Aretha Franklin. I had heard that Condi was a concert pianist and after hearing her play, there is no doubt.
Condi Rice told the 9/11 Commission and the 9/11 Widows under oath that the "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US" memo was not a warning. It warned of preparations for hijackings and planned attacks in the US.
On July 10, 2001, CIA director George Tenet warned Condi that al Qaeda attacks were coming in the next few weeks. Later he said acting on those warnings might have prevented 9/11. Cofer Black said "The only thing we didn't do was pull the trigger to the gun we were holding to her head."
The UK, Germany, Italy, and Egypt warned of aircraft as weapons; Russia of suicide pilots; Jordan and the Cayman Islands of attacks involving airlines. 13 foreign countries and 3 FBI offices warned. Israel warned of 19 terrorists plotting inside the USA, and named at least 4 of the alleged hijackers.
The German press reported that the August 6 PDB was actually 11-1/2 pages long, not the 1-1/2 pages we've seen.
