Condi on CSPAN now

[zulchzulu]

Her opening statement sounds like something some young Republican wrote for a sophomore Political Sci class.

[Gman]

1. She's already changed her story---Again

she's not acting stupid about Clinton admin briefings...

She's gonna argue that they didn't miss a step from the Clinton administration policies.

[nolabels]

5. when I first turned the radio on I thought it was some kind of parody

:wow:

[libbygurl]

2. And Hamilton's opening remarks already sound like excuses/apologies for

the NSC adviser's difficult task.

Note the tremulousness creeping into her voice, even if it's a PREPARED speech.

[zulchzulu]

3. Contest: 5 points every time she says "to the best of my recollection"

Ding! Ding!

4. On MSNBC I cannot believe what I thought I heard

Before Rice came down, I thought tweety and others implying because we were at war this commission better not ask hard questions. My impression was that it would almost be anti-american if that were to happen with all the problems in Iraq

[spooky3]

6. She gave herself credit for taking the "unusual" step of

retaining Clarke and others from the Clinton administration, I guess as an illustration of how high a priority the * admin. placed on addressing terrorism.

Excuse me, but if Clarke has served under 3 Repub. Presidents AND Clinton, in exactly what way is his continuation unusual? Sounds like standard practice to me.

I couldn't listen any more after that.

[spooky3]

7. what's amazing is that this is said or implied by people who lived through

the Vietnam era. Didn't they learn then that failure to raise hard questions and act swiftly and appropriately on the answers is the worst course the country could possibly follow?
