Lugar also did say that they might wrap it up this evening, if everything goes fast.

I missed it, but it may be a blessing...hopefully it'll be on TV, just like Hillary's bad behavior at Bush's speech to Congress a couple years ago.

C-SPAN re-airs this hearing tonight at 8pm ET, so you'll have your chance to catch it! ;-)

He still might show up later for his question period...Maybe he'll "have a plan".

IF Kerry could find the courage to show his horse face here, he would launch into a monologue about his impotent trip to Iraq, Syria and France.

I won't be doing too much play by play today...ah, Hagel up.

Thanks Rice for agreeing to four more years of service.

First question: Exit strategy.

What are plans after elections?

Rice: Test for Iraqis is find a way forward after elections and we'll help guide but it is largely their task. We'll help more with building up their own defenses.

Graham has been such a disappointment. I wonder if he really believes we aren't doing a good job training Iraqi forces or just said we weren't to get invited to the Sunday tv shows? I suspect the latter.

"Lugar also did say that they might wrap it up this evening, if everything goes fast."

LOL, but we have a committee of lard behind blow-hards who spend their Sunday's on the tube puffing themselves up.

Kennedy would put me over the edge if he was on this committee. How I hope Kerry shows up...but I think that girly man gigolo knows he doesn't have the intellect to spar with Condi.

[Bahbah]

I agree. Lindsay has ambitions that he thinks can be advanced by TV fact time. I think he's wrong.

[gopwinsin04]

And Lugar mentioned 3rd and 4th rounds of Senatorial questions, now that really might drive me to drink!

I agree about Graham. Look who once called President Bush "brain dead"........Joe Plagerist Biden.

The Globe reported that Kerry would be there..my guess is that he was up late last night getting smashed with Kennedy and will show up after lunch.

Those are the men and women out of Ft. lewis aren't they?

Kerry missed the train. His limo was last seen heading to the ski slopes.

What? No Cambodia?

Not sure. Their names are here.

[Just mythoughts]

What really really burns me is Biden's attempt to portray the Bush administration of being dishonest with the American people.

Personally speaking I see these liberals which ever side of the isle they inhabit as much the enemy as the terrorist we must stop.

This is looking like a 'tag' team seeking to set a snare to use against President Bush during this Administration. I sure hope that Condi is aware she has stepped into a snake pit, and the vipers all of them have a bigger target than herself in their sights.

PBJ sandwich man didn't wake him.

[Peach]

I didn't think Kerry could refuse the tv face time but maybe he's just not up for the task.

He is such a lackluster representative of his state...they are getting robbed.
