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

[mware]

13 of the 40 comments regarding Al Quida were in response to questions from the Bush Administration.

Tom Kean and hair dye, purrrrfect together.

I agree she sounds nervous, but I think she'll calm down shortly.

I believe her voice has always had that quality. I would not read anything into it.

[Quilla]

Thank heavens cause my connection is buffering in and out.

[mtbopfuyn]

Gonna be hard to spin if folks can see for themselves."

They'll spin it into the vast milky way and back. The sheeple are too ignorant to understand. The majority of Americans are at work and don't have access to Condi Live.

[Howlin]

A whole hour????

Whoopie!

I bet Richard Clarke is the "talking head" on ABC today!

[Types_with_Fist]

I kind of think she sounds a bit nervous. But, she usually sounds that way at first and then does quite well.

[Peach]

President Bush wanted a NEW way to deal with AQ and he told Condi that he didn't want to deal with terrorists one attack at a time and was tired of swatting at flies.

fraudcast networks

You silver tongue devil.;-)

[dawn53]

Yeah, but unfortunately lots of people at work won't get to watch it live, and will just get the "regurgitated, edited edition" from the nightly news.

13 of the 40 comments regarding Al Quida were in response to questions from the Bush Administration.

Very important point.

[Fury]

Clarke will shortly master his briefs.

should be:

Clarke will shortly fill his briefs.

[kjam22]

She sounds fine on the radio I think.

[Catspaw]

She was talking a little fast and needed to slow down and take a deep breath. Her voice is beginning to even out.

And with this much media in my face, I'd be near collapse.

[4everontheRight]

She is now speaking of the sratagey they took (prior to 9/11) to rid Al-q. She said Bush told her he did not want to deal with this..."one attack at a time", said Bush told her he was tired of swatting flies

[cyncooper]

Brings up the Navy plane downed in China.

Says they had to address the deficient Iraq policy where we shot at planes violating no-fly zones but no progress being made enforcing the UN resolution.

President Bush was tired of swatting at flies.

Developed strategy: Eliminiation of the Al Qaeda network. High priority, using all aspects of our national power.

[texasbluebell]

I love this!

"President Bush revived the practice of meeting with his CIA director on a daily basis."

Can it be any more clear to the mediots? Probably they will ignore that though.

[Exit148]

About her nervousness --- Understandable, but I think she has a timbre to her voice that makes it sound that way. IOW -- She sounds like she always does -- IMHO.

[mombonn]

Made elimination of AQ high priority, some of the highly-classified documents will be made public.

[StriperSniper]

The taupe does look nice,,it is taupe isn't it?

Not sure, but it looks vaugely military. :)
