“Condi Rice, like many people who are in high office or have been in high office, knows how to OBSCURE the truth. That is one of their prime means of getting people to accept their machinations. They do this by many rhetorical techniques. They mix lies with supposed facts, with bits of truth, with exaggerations, with fabrications, with outright lies, with misinterpretations, with omissions, with superficial observations, etc. One example: Condi says Saddam Hussein ‘was an implacable enemy of the United States’. This is a total lie. The U.S. supported Iraq against Iran in their war. The U.S. supplied dual-use technology to Iraq.”
