As I see it there are but three reasons for voicing a positive opinion of Condoleeza Rice. These are, (1) ethnic solidarity, (2) partisan bias, (3) ignorance.
There was a sufficient amount of information deriving from various intelligence sources along with the FBI to enable anticipation and prevention of the 9/11 attack. There is ample evidence to show that President Bush methodically ignored every item of that information. The consensus among informed opponents of the Bush Administration is the reason the President avoided being informed about the impending terrorist attack is he knew it would facilitate his intention to invade and occupy the nation of Iraq. And the means by which he was able to circumvent awareness of what the collective information clearly foretold was the positioning of a cooperatively knowledgeable buffering agent, his National Security Advisor, Condoleeza Rice.
While most reasonably informed Americans are acutely aware by now that the reason for invading and occupying Iraq was access to the richest remaining oil deposits in the world, what few Americans are aware of is that Condoleeza Rice came to the Bush Administration from a lofty position in the oil industry. Condoleeza Rice was a ranking executive of Chevron and there is a Chevron oil tanker which was named for her.

So there was a profound and unmistakable commonness of purpose within the Bush/Rice relationship and it was based on more than met the ordinary eye.
While Condoleeza Rice possessed no relevant credentials to qualify her for the position of National Security Advisor or that of Secretary of State, her most substantial and productive activity in both positions was that of protecting her boss from being exposed as the devious, unconscionable war criminal he is. She did this by repeatedly and skillfully obfuscating or brazenly lying to conceal Bush's awareness of information which could have prevented the 9/11 attack and, later, lying with equal vigor to support Bush's fraudulent assertions that the Iraq invasion was necessary.

What those who choose for whatever reason to admire Condoleeza Rice fail to understand or acknowledge is the fact that her actions contributed significantly to the 3,000 deaths in the 9/11 attack, the 4,400+ deaths of American and coalition troops in Iraq, the maiming of tens of thousands more, the deaths of more American and coalition troops in Afghanistan, the deaths of estimated 125,000 innocent Iraqi civilians, the waste of countless billions of dollars in American treasure and the ruin of our country's reputation in the world and the aggregate miseries associated with all of that.
Yet there are those who continue to praise this evil little bitch.
