isten Breitweiser, one of the “Jersey Girls” who lost their husbands in 9/11 and successfully lobbied the U.S. government to launch a formal investigation into the attacks, recently penned an op-ed in the Huffington Post ripping former National Security Adviser and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for lying to the American people.
Rice, who was being interviewed by the Huffington Post earlier in October, responded to Donald Trump’s claim that President Bush was responsible for the 9/11 attacks happening on his watch. Rice defended the former president, saying that if anyone should “plead guilty” it would be her because she never imagined the terrorists would use commercial flights as weapons:
Yes, maybe there was a lack of imagination to imagine a group of terrorists were going to hijack airplanes and not drive them to the ground and demand a ransom, but use them as missiles against our cities. I plead guilty to a lack of imagining exactly that…The idea the president of the United States was warned that Al-Qaeda was going to attack the United States and did nothing about it. Really? Do you think any president of the United States, if he had even an inkling there was going to be an attack, they wouldn’t have moved heaven and earth to try to stop it?
