| Rice refuses to give Iraq timetable |
| 2005-01-18 |
| Dr Rice's confirmation hearing is in progress. Those with the means should be watching / listening. You would not (or maybe you would, lol!) believe the shit. Kerry has taken a number of shots. Boxer is on right now - going totally moonbat. Secretary of State nominee Condoleezza Rice told senators on Tuesday that a U.S. exit strategy from Iraq is "directly proportional" to Iraq's ability to defend itself against terrorists after this month's elections. Stepping out from her largely behind-the-scenes role as President Bush's national security adviser, Rice said she could not give Congress a timetable for American disengagement. "The goal is to get the mission accomplished," she said. "We're right now focused on security for the (Jan. 30) election." Rice told her Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearing that spreading democracy through the Middle East remains a top administration foreign-policy objective. ... Now Boxer is doing aluminum tubes - the whole nine yards of LLL memery. Wotta whore - keeps bringing up the US service people killed in Iraq - as if she doesn't dream of 10,000 so she could scream, "I told you so!" Unbeleeeeevable Whoring. |

| #10 lex I think you ought to check the GDP of California compared to the state you live in. The myth that the California work force and education system is some how substandard seems to be refuted by such comparisons. Even during the current tough economy here California is kicking the other 50 states ass when it comes to GDP. |

| #9 Well 2b the problem is Republican politics in California tends to be run out of and by Orange County Republicans that have a death wish it seems. Instead of doing the possible they demand the impossible and don't get get elected as a result. The void is filled by The Democrats lead S.F. Bay area moonbats and LA county diptards who know how to lie,look and sound good. Ronald Reagan knew how to win and deliver California WTF is wrong with the rest of these peeps? One reason I am not registered a Republican The California Republican party doesn't speak or represent me. |

| #8 Boxer, a dumb senator for a dumb state. She's a superb emblem for a state whose educational system and workforce have deteriorated markedly in recent years. |

| #7 Boxer wins in CA because the Republican party doesn't seem to grasp that you can't run a Trent Lott type Republican in that state and win. So instead of running a moderate that would win - and perhaps not be against abortion and who might favor the environment - the Republican would rather lose than back a true moderate. |

| #6 Boxer took another embarassing idiotic swipe at Rice over the torture question and probably assured Rice's confirmation. |

| #5 Raj - You're an Oracle! That was a running joke in the hearing, in fact. Biden chided him for showing up, heh. I hope somewhere, on some blog, some of the highlights (like Biden's shot) are available. |

| #3 Bab’s had a petition to stop Condi from getting a hearing. I guess that idea fell short (like her many others). Yes she was elected by a large margin, but that had to do with turnout for Skerry in California and not her abilities. Also she was facing yet another cream puff of a Republican. She is just about the dumbest Senator in history and shows many times that she is out of her league in the Senate. If she had not gone into politics, she would have become the youngest Walmart greeter, a (automated) tollbooth operator, or possibly a slow/stop sign handler. |

| #2 Can just see the DNC taking this one full campaign: Boxer-A new kind of Dem-A David against the Goliath of our times. The vanguard in the politics of personal destruction. This message has been paid for and approved by the Democratic National Committee. (Whatever will Bubba say?) |

| #1 They will reconvene the hearing at 2:30 ET. I don't know if Boxer used all of her time, but it ended up in a bona-fide scrap with Boxer waving the LLL memes and Dr Rice challenging Boxer to refrain from questioning her honesty and integrity. Very testy. Boxer is the biggest asshole whiner I've ever heard speak as a US Senator. Not even Skeery, who played his games about imaginary Int'l offers of help, yadda3, was nearly as big an ass - and that's saying something. |
