We never would have expected this in a million years….

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice took to the stage with the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin last night at a benefit concert held at the Mann center for Performing Arts in Philadelphia. Rice played the keys while Aretha sung “I Say a Little Prayer” and “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee.” The benefit concert was held to help improve inner-city youth programs and education initiatives.

Now that’s an unusual pair….

    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.
