Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said Sunday that when the full Senate debates the nomination of Dr. Condoleezza Rice to be Secretary of State on Tuesday, she intends to repeat charges that Rice deliberately misled the nation about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
"I will lay out again on the Senate floor [why] I do not believe [she] has been candid with the American people," Sen. Boxer told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."
"[She's] gone on shows like yours and made statements that I don't think were true, or they were half-true, didn't tell the whole story, didn't level with the American people."
Reacting to criticism from White House chief of staff Andy Card, who called her attacks on Rice "petty politics" last week, the Marin County Democrat taunted, "Even though Andy Card would like me to go away. I'm not going to go away."
"[Rice] said things that were flat-out not true," Sen. Boxer continued. "When she said only one agency thought the aluminum tubes could not be used for nuclear weapons, that wasn't true."
As she did during last week's hearings, the Bush administration critic justified her personal attacks on Rice by saying that the Iraq war is especially important to Californians "because we've lost 25 percent of those who died in Iraq."
According to OpinionJournal.com, however, the actual proportion of deaths of U.S. troops from California is 11.5 percent.
I may be really wrong, but I could have sworn that I heard that the Bush Administration may have emphasized the WMD's to get the original resolution that was passed 15-0.
But, when Saddam didn't let the new weapons inspectors do their job, the President then went to the Congress---
Ya know, as we get older, our memory is questionable, so I may be totally wrong---
I am sure of one thing, though, and that is that all of the hoops that Bush was made to jump through gave Saddam plenty of time to stash the weapons in Syria or elsewhere. That is my story and I'm stickin' with it!
What really pisses me off is that we let them get away with crap like this - time after time, after time.......
Just DAMN............
Somebody shut her liberal pie hole..........

Can you imagine dumb bastards like Barbra Boxer having even the fist clue about what it takes to deploy our military to defend America and to get rid of scum like Saddam Hussein and Manuel Noriega? What it takes to get rid of the Taliban and to pursue Osama Bin Ladin.
She hasn't the foggiest notion. Peaceniks like her are parasites and leeches
She probably gets her 25% by counting all the Marines from Camp Pendleton. But I'd bet my socks that she doesn't consider Pendleton Marines to be Californians when it comes time to vote.
Did ONE reporter on the MSM correct this % she gave ?
The problem is that Boxer went on CNN today and contended that Condi ATTACKED her during the hearing! Like we all didn't see exactly what happened!
So there ya go--if Condi even gave Boxer one of her "go to hell" looks that she does so well, then the MSM and all of the dems would try to portray Condi as the attacker instead of the attackee!
Anyone remember that regular photo of Traficant that always got posted....another with an animal on his head?
These two should be in tandem....Boxer needs to get "Traficanted"
I've heard this allegation about Boxer and her husband being mobbed up with the Red Chinese but only have a vague idea of what it's all about. Can someone explain the connection between the Boxers and the ChiComs? Thanx!
AHHHHHHHHHHH hahahahahahah Best One yet..just spit out my cheese and crackers AHHAHAHAHAHAH too funny bro ...and so true
Condi attacked HER ?..you have to be kidding..i still think Condi let her off way way too easy
Kehoe: I'll call Boxer a liar again.
Same importance in my opinion. Plus, I'm sane.

yes , please , I kno wnothing about the BOXER /China thing..Someone please inform.....
Yeah, she's a jealous b-ch. If she only has one brain cell left - she knows that she will never be anythinig more than what she is now (which ain't all that!) and she'll never be anyone's Secretary of Anything. I feel certain Condi is laying in wait for her this week and when that BuzzardNestHair woman interrupts her again - Condi will roll right over her.
No, even that's too complicated for her. In days gone by, she would have made a mediocre millinery salesperson: "Darling, that bonnet looks ravishing on you."
