Beware the unexpected from the RATS and their media handmaidens. They won't start out by challenging Dr. Rice on matters of substance; rather, they are gonna peddle the emotional stuff -- how do you feel, shouldn't you apologize to the families, shouldn't the President apologize.

Then, after they've softened her up and lowered her assertiveness, then they will attack on more substantive matters. Or dredge up totally inconsequential or unrelated stuff.

The objective will be to surprise her and get her off her game.

I trust Condi to take the last shot in the game. She'll do fine-- better than fine.
