Rice Testifies Before 9/11 Cmsn. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice testifies before the Sept. 11 Commission.

Frankly, all I can think of as I watch this is how grateful I am that serious, adult, and competent people are in charge.

[Owen]

Oh! Did someone say . . .

Black Conservative Republican Woman.

Maybe it should be said about 20 times by GOP operatives hitting the new shows tonight.

If W peels just 5-10%, no more than that, just 5-10% off the black vote, the election is over.

What's that you say? Oh. Yes. Black Conservative Republican Woman.

[MrB]

Again, another enlightened Democratic National Socialist comment,

raising the bar on insightful rhetoric.

[CasearianDaoist]

Well I have been an academic and I could never get use to it. It takes a special kind of guts to deal with these "creatures." What a shameful bunch, do not they know that history will judge them?

[I still care]

Flipping around, I see CNN has little comments posted like "Rice's response to Clark's accusations (gee I thought this was about National Security, not "getting" Rice)

and also, a few minutes ago they already cut away to commercials. Have to keep the sheep from seeing it if you want to spin it.

Intel didn't tell who, when, where. Nothing to prepare against.

[Indy Pendance]

Now clarify the mis report from August 2001

[TravisBickle]

On the evening newscasts, there will be at least one Democrat who will claim that Rice was grandstanding for the cameras, and criticize her for demanding public air time.

[TexasNative2000]

Indeed.

[mware]

I can't quite recall but didn't Woolsey resigned due to the lack of communication between the White House and the CIA?

[mewzilla]

She's reviewing the uncorroborated info from the Aug 6 briefing. Are you listening, Breitwieser?

[McGruff]

CONDI BOMBSHELL: BUSH'S FIRST NATIONAL SECURITY DIRECTIVE: ELIMINATE Al-QAEDA

[mtbopfuyn]

No intel threat using planes.

[MrB]

You can just refer to her as "44"

[StriperSniper]

CONDI BOMBSHELL: BUSH'S FIRST NATIONAL SECURITY DIRECTIVE: ELIMINATE Al-QAEDA

[4everontheRight]

Info did not raise issue of planes being used as weapons...did say possible planes being used for ransom

[Dansong]

Thanks!

[Howlin]

Does it appear to you that she is telling us EVERY SINGLE TIME she met with Richard Clarke or that HE held a meeting, which, of course, would put the lie to HIS testimony that there were no meetings.

Am I right?

[Mr. Silverback]

For the cube dwellers...

Reading actual chatter from AQ intercepts. Describes "Big event, big news" but no dates, places or other details.

She's now talking about threat information that lead to a warning about hijackings. Purpose: blackmail federal govt into releasing 1993 WTC bombing prisoners.
