TEXT OF DR. CONDOLEEZZA RICE OPENING REMARKS THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON TERRORIST ATTACKS

US Air Force E-mail | 8 Apr 2004 | Condi Rice

[the right side jedi]

Bob Kerrey is a rude partisan jerk. He thinks he knows better than the director of the NSA what the adminstration did! Even though she didn't have to, she comes in front of this commission to get to the bottom of things and answer his questions and then he just interrupts her, talks over her, and tells her what the real answers are. Disgusting and I hope voters see thru these sheningans

[Ganndy]

oops sorry, here = Her, obviously

[cardinal4]

I have always been impressed by Condoleeza, but I havent watched her this long. What a woman! She has more smarts and class than the entire Clinton NSC staff. I heard some where that she entered the University of Denver at the age of 15. I dont know if thats true.

Nice post!

This new strategy was developed over the Spring and Summer of 2001, and was approved by the President's senior national security officials on September 4.

This is actually pretty speedy for our gov.

"Dr. Rice is more than holding her own with the FOB's on the panel."

Exactly...FOB's are trying to "pay back" for the Clinton Impeachment! Their hatred and venom is showing through quite clearly. Condi Rice is standing her ground, and will come out of this more powerful and dangerous to the Democrats than ever. Condi for VP -- or Condi in 2008!

I think they do. But it still doesnt make it any easier to watch this lynching from Kerrey. Lehman is going easier on her, though.

[Eire1916]

She is a brilliant gal if McCain goes with Kerry Bush has to switch to someone like Condi. She is a bigger person than Bob Kerry, she had a great comeback there against him.

[RetiredArmy]

His name is "Kerry." Enough said.

[TommyDale]

It's true.

[ldish]

unfortunately our citizen base is much dumber these days and there is only a 50% / 50% chance that anyone voters see thru these sheningans of Bob Kerry and the other very bitterly partisan s**T heads.........

[cardinal4]

It's true.

And this partisan witch hunt leader(Kerrey)thinks he can touch Condi?

[cardinal4]

Roemer just made the list as well.

clinton and algore supposedly have agreed to testify, but not under oath and not in public.

So why in the hell does the crowd applause after this lady slanders Condi Rice?

One of the journalist on Fox the other night was quite upset about this. He said that after the names of the Commission there should be a "D" or an "R" after their names to let us know just what side of the fence they are on. I agree!

This looks to me like a Liberal Lynch Mob. Dr. Rice told him once that they invited her there to answer questions. They aren't letting her DO this.

I pray for her. She is really keeping her cool. I don't think I could have stopped short of walking out. But IMHO, this sounds like another Lib Lynch Mobbing.

Everything they are talking about took several years if not 8-9 years, to lay the ground work for the terrorist attack. And guess who was in office?

The terrorist needed time to infiltrate the U.S., and they sure couldn't have done it in just the short time President Bush came into office.

To put it this way: Clintoon built up such a pail of chit over his tenure that when President Bush came into office, the pail could hold the chit no longer. Therefore, it all fell into our President's lap.

I wish with all my heart that proof could be brought out that Clinton WAS the most crooked President in our history.

So why in the hell does the crowd applause after this lady slanders Condi Rice?

One other thing: I guarantee you they did NOT treat her like this behind closed doors.

I think they are really going after her, and I think they all have another agenda.

[Amish with an attitude]

The testimony of Dr. Rice drives home the fact that an effective President must be surrounded by a effective, clear thinking cabinet, Dr. Rice exemplifies this.

What a stark contrast to the ineptness of the Klinton era. Let's pray we never see what John Kerry could do for us.

[SheLion]

...how much money and resources are being squandered on this democrat PR exhibit..

"I" want to know the political parties of everyone on the Commission. I am really curious. And "just who" put this Commission together. Anyone know?

[bigpete_53]

bump

[wildwood]

wasn't jamie gorelick part of the clinton administration? if so,HOW does she wind up on a panel grilling members of this administration? how on EARTH is this not a political witchhunt?? and WHY are those people allowed to sit in the audience and applaud?

i don't get any of this. it appears to me that the leader of this commission has no control whatsoever of these proceedings. one would think,in respect for the dead, that there would be agreement that this would be a NONPARTISAN endeavor...a search for the truth. this is appalling.
