Don't hold your breath. Hydrogen ain't free.
Im sure the rest of the world would be as generous in helping us if the table were reversed..lol!
Of course it was.

Thanks to all for keeping track.
Can't watch the replay tonight, the History Channel has the Presidents Special starting at 8.
Besides, from the sound of it, I'd fall asleep 30 minutes in.
Chaffee pressing Rice on the viability of a Palestinian state.
Rice: Up to the parties to determine their borders. A lot of negotiating has been done but up to them to reach those judgements. Fundamentals seem to be coming into place with new Palestinian leadership...leadership that in word is against Palestinian terrorism, it must be in deed against it, too.
Speaking of settlements in the West Bank. Now mentioning the responsibilities of the neighboring Arab states. They can't incite violence against Israel and at the same time call for "peace".
She said they want to protect the borders. You disagree with their efforts in that area, but to say they disregard that issue or do nothing is a blatant lie.
Chaffe NEVER says anything that would put blame or responsibilty on the Arab States!
I'm just joining the thread now but are there any decent Republicans on this committee?
Does anyone here doubt that Senator (in name only) Kerry will drop the word "Vietnam" into his remarks...several times?
Senator Dodd, Phil Donahue called and would like his hair back.
LOL! Is he even there?
Even when he's there it's hard to tell.
Senator Dodd, Phil Donahue called and would like his hair back.
ROFLMAO..
The other half of the "Waitress Sandwich" up now - Chris Dodd (CT).
"Will the gentleman with the long face please identify himself?"
Only a few like Norm Coleman. List of Senators on com. on page 1 of this thread
He might mention Vietnam, but we can be sure we'll hear all about his recent trip, visiting troops, talking with world leaders, etc. Then he'll lecture Dr. Rice in a patronizing manner. What a putz.
Yes, there are some good ones. Only a few have asked questions so far.
Dodd up now making opening remarks, welcoming new members, thanks Colin Powell for his service, working his way up to substance. Just returned from eight day trip to S. America so will explore this area first.
Please PING me if any transcripts are available later. I'm so swamped today, I can't freep this as I'd like. I'll have to settle for Rush's take on it.
Overall, how is Dr. Rice doing?
