Condi Rice On Meet The Press – August 8, 2004

This is from the August 8, 1004 program of
Meet the Press
.
I’ve got it in two parts, and three parts (for those of you with less bandwidth) here.
The files are named accordingly:

Condi Rice On Meet The Press

I haven’t had a chance to examine this too closely. I just wanted to get it up in a timely manner for those of you who need the footage for your various projects.
One thing that did stand out was Condi’s insistance that they had very specific “casing reports” with regard to specific terrorist targets. This contradicts what Tom Ridge was saying a few weeks ago that they had no specifics whatsoever.
Also of interest is a question from Tim Russert about 4 minutes 50 seconds in, where he asks Condi head on if she feels whatever we accomplished over there was worth the lives of over 6,000 Iraqi’s and 1,000+ soldiers that were “officially” killed in the process. (This reminds me that I need to post a Bill Moyers story on how 1,000’s of American soldier casualties aren’t being included in the reports because they happen during “non-combat” situations. Like all the suicide bombings – soldiers killed in those don’t count…Somebody remind me if I don’t get this up in the next few days, ok? – Update 8/12/04 – someone found a link to the entry and real video of the show. (Thanks, Sol!) )
