Unfortunately the rest of US get cornered in their angles.

If Kerry doesn't show it will be because he knows he can't win a sparring match with Condi, the smartest person in the room.

[OXENinFLA]

I was checking local news and News4Jax had that up.

[Peach]

GOod deal. Thanks.

lefties like Chaffee...What a whiny little RINO! His voice grates on my last nerve.

[Quilla]

I believe there is a law or code statin something actually can be done about his poor attendance/performance. I wish someone had the cajones to pursue it and get our taxpayer dollars paid to Sen. No Show refunded.

Biden should have called Kerry (at home) and told him to "Get over it. Bush is President" and get his butt over here to do HIS OWN job.

[OXENinFLA]

We also must realize that America and all free nations are facing a generational struggle against a new and deadly ideology of hatred that we cannot ignore.

Well looks to me like you JUST DID, by not calling it out.....Islam anyone?

[cyncooper]

The questioning may be interesting. Just get her confirmed so she can start housecleaning ala Goss over at CIA.

Ah, she's saying she'll make sure diplomats have all the tools they need and will recruit "new personnel".

Yay

[penelopesire]

"Biden should have called Kerry (at home) and told him to "Get over it. Bush is President" and get his butt over here to do HIS OWN job."

Kerry NEVER did do his job....even before Bush was Prez.

[cyncooper]

She's closing by harking to working in the WH during the collapse of the Soviet Union.

[Soul Seeker]

That's a given.

Condi skewered them last time they attempted to reign over her.

[Bahbah]

She's laying down the gaunlet for the obstructors and the visionless.

[penelopesire]

Go Condi!!

[Just mythoughts]

These liberals are not going to focus on their failures such as the collapse of the Soviet Union.

[Carolinamom]

Kerry wants the title of Senator w/out doing the work...just like he wanted the Purple Hearts w/out having real wounds. While our guys continued the fight in Vietnam, HE came home and told lies about them...just as he has taken pot shots at our President while in Europe. A lazy coward IMO.

Lugar is about as exciting as a funeral

I thought her comment about hiring new blood at the State Dept was interesting. Hopefully this means to replace a lot of the old, clotting blood that's been there for so long.
