Rice said on Thursday: "I think Americans are not guilty for 9/11, I think President Bush is not guilty for 9/11."

She made the comments when The Huffington Post asked for her response to Trump's remarks during a Q&A following a speech she gave at the Chatham House foreign affairs think-tank in London.

"All Mr. Trump has to do is read the 9/11 report," she said. "It is incredibly exhaustive about what caused the problem. It is incredibly exhaustive about the challenges of intelligence when we had a very firm barrier between intelligence coming from the outside and intelligence that we could gather inside."

But she defended Bush: "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?" she said.

"The fact is there was chatter, in July and August, about terrorist activity. It was just that, chatter," Rice added. "And most of the chatter we thought, and the CIA thought, was about a possible attack in Jordan or in Saudi Arabia or abroad. The U.S. had no systems in place for homeland defense. We hadn’t been attacked on our territory since the war of 1812.

Rice totally ignores "Bin Laden Memo"..but this is what she said today., Thursday, October 29th.

She is trying to defend both brothers in the same interview. So Jeb's comment, "He kept us safe" is supposed to be true. And her friend Georgie did nothing wrong...I think we have had this discussion somewhere before...
