nope - it doesn't look/sound political at all

[Naso]

Bob Kerry called her Doctor Clark 5 times before she told him her name is Rice LOL.

 GWs admin put together the panel, but he did not set it up to get off, their are some pretty rabid dems on the panel, Bob Kerry being one of them

You think this whole thing is a sham? You think the US media would let him get away with putting all republicans or his supporters on it? When they anouced who was on the panel, most of the new agencies were suprised at how even handed and balanced it was not just all his lapdogs.

Bob Kery is slime.

I love how he asked her a question, then tried to anser it for her, then when she tried to answer told her "you will not filibuster me! I only have ten minutes!"

Good for Condi, for not budging tell she said what she wanted to say.

I don't understand why we are wasting time, are they spending our tax dollars on this? So the administration may have missed the boat, so did the administration before them. I don't see how this is going to change what happened. Maybe i'm missing something.

Politics asside, the reason is to help prevent another intelligence failure that could let another attack happen.

Simple, huh.

She did well.

Including when she said that Al Quiada was "obviously important to the Clinton Adnministration".

[Dago]

Frustrating to watch the pony show,  with Kerry it was basically "tell me what I want to hear, make yourself look bad, or I will try like hell to cut you off, not let you actually explain the facts and try my hardest to prevent you from looking like you know what you are talking about".

Didn't quite work now did it?  Poor handsomehunkocrat, not used to dealing with someone like Rice, she stood her ground, made him look stupid and manipulative, and got her answers out.

No.  The primary objective is to find as much fault as possible with the Bush Adminstration before the elections.

If men like Kerry were really interested in improving the operational success of our intelligence agencies, they wouldnt be voting against the cooresponding budget increases.

All were nominated by GWB and there are five from each political party. Man, some of you are wacked in the head.

No it's about September 2001, specifically the 11th.

Although I don't agree on some of thier tactics in this Commission.
Its really about getting to the bottom of why we lost so many people on Sept 11th.

As for Rice's testimony, Overall she did very well, but some of her comments left me dissapointed.

Also she presents herself (I beleive) in a very poor fashion, She might speak good most of the time, But she constantly shakes her head right to left. Some experts have said that this is a natural impulse in some people when they lie.
