At least 10 US soldiers died in Iraq this weekend. For what? The _resident's foolish military adventure is a debacle. There were no WMDs. Hans Blix and Scott Ritter were right. Over six hundred US soldiers have died (and counting) have died for almost nothing. Iraq is in chaos. And with US resources being drained away in Iraq, terrorism has been given a big boost. The Al Qaeda leadership has been given a pass, and the ranks of Al Qaeda style extremists are swelling with recruits to kill the infidels...The Emperor has no uniform...The Mega-Mogadishu that the LNS has been predicting is at hand... Incredibly, and with this tragic tableu as a backdrop, NotBeSeen is hiring Condi Rice's communications director, who boasts of having no experience, as Executive VP of Communications. Doesn't this hire strike you as obscene? Condi Rice should have been driven from office in disgrace while the smoke still rose from the ruins of the Twin Towers. Even if she were not at the center of a rapidly evolving scandal that could lead to revelations of criminal negligence or worse, it would be an inappropriate hire. It's the Media, Stupid.

Former White House Aide to Take Post at NBC
Published: April 2, 2004
Anna Perez, who recently directed communications at the National Security Council, will become chief communications executive for NBC, the network announced yesterday.
Ms. Perez will take up the post of executive vice president for communications, but her duties will expand when NBC becomes NBC-Universal after the expected completion of the network's merger with entertainment units of Vivendi Universal.
The deal is expected to be approved by June. Ms. Perez will start at NBC on May 1.
She left the White House in December, where her titles included counselor for communications to President's Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice. Ms. Perez also worked in the White House for the first President Bush, as Barbara Bush's press secretary.
In the mid-1990's she was head of communications at the Creative Artists Agency in Hollywood, when it was led by Michael S. Ovitz and Ron Meyer. Mr. Meyer is now the head of Universal Studios, a job he is expected to retain after the NBC merger.
"I love the television business," Ms. Perez said. "I have no expertise in it so I will have a bit of learning curve. But I can't remember the last time I didn't have a learning curve when I took a new job.''
