Boxer needs your support! Sign Petition to Hold Rice Accountable!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

PAC for a Change
1/13/2005
On Tuesday, January 18th and Wednesday, January 19th, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice will appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a confirmation hearing for her appointment as Secretary of State.

Dr. Rice's confirmation hearing must not be a rubber stamp of President Bush's appointment. The Senate must take its "advice and consent" role seriously.

That's why, as a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, I intend to stand up and ask Condoleezza Rice the tough questions that Americans deserve to have answered. Questions like:


Why did the United States go to war in Iraq based on misleading -- if not false and fraudulent -- evidence?

Why did we divert valuable resources and intelligence personnel to Iraq, taking them away from Afghanistan and the pursuit of Osama bin Laden?

Why did you mislead the American people into thinking there was a connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida before September 11th?
We must hold Condoleezza Rice accountable for her misleading statements leading up to the Iraq war and beyond before we can even consider promoting her to Secretary of State.

So I ask you to join with me: Lend your voice to the chorus of millions of Americans across our great land who are demanding that Condoleezza Rice tell the truth about Iraq, weapons of mass destruction, the search for Osama bin Laden, the fight against Al Qaida, and the war on terrorism.

I urge you to sign my petition http://ga4.org/campaign/ricehearings , so I can take your voice with me to the committee room and the floor of the Senate in the pursuit of the truth from Condoleezza Rice.

Sincerely,

[NYC]

It's refreshing that at least one of California's two U.S. Senators has her head on right.

[rumpel]

18. agree, the other one is always blowing with the wind.

[saltpoint]

25. Hi, rumpel.

Yes, you're right. I am really discouraged that Feinstein is sponsoring/introducing/supporting Condi.

After all that went on with 9/11 and Abu Ghraib, etc. -- plus that scurrilous shimmying act she did before the 9/11 commission -- Feinstein is still doing this. Yuck.

[rumpel]

34. I have been quite annoyed with her. When I write her, a form letter in her

own defense comes back. A no vote of mine is still is scarry in the Senate the next time around....


P.S. I have not seen one single shred of competence in Condi the last 4 years.

[Jo March]

131. Sounds like we need to focus on Feinstein, doesn't it? nt

[Dancing_Dave]

29. Right on there.

Of course, the commission didn't call her on it, being mainly composed of guys invested in the same shams as she is.

[Bill Bored]

38. Ben-Veniste called her on it by getting the Aug 6 PDB declassified.

Then our spineless Democratic party dropped the ball!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

Here they had both her and Bush against the wall, and like teflon they both slipped away on this.

My husband wants to know what you all think about asking her to include questions about the election? For example, who was minding the store when she was campaigning across America? Would it be relevant to ask her what part she'll take in Election reform?

And I hope Barbara doesn't allow Rice to filibuster with the same old tired platitudinal answers that are designed to run out the clock.

By the end of the confirmation hearing, I want her looking like this:

[Red State Blues]

89. Done, although ...

I don't give a shit about any of her (Boxer's) questions. Frankly two days of questions that never go beyond Rice's actions before and statements concerning September 11, 2001 would be proper and just.

No matter how uncomfortable these questions might make the either criminally incompetent or just plain criminal Dr. Rice, it can't compare to those who chose to leap to their deaths rather than burn to death in the Towers.

"I assure you we would have done something if the terrorists would have faxed my office their plans in triplicate, (with a month's lead time of course.)"

F.O.A.D.
