Albright on now....

[berner59]

I love her... How forthcoming will this group seem vs. Bush's bunch??? These witnesses are under oath...how can they smear Clarke after that??


She is laying out what they tried to do...sounds like a lot to me... Sounds like everyone was doing something everyday. No wonder Clarke seemed manic during his Bush years. He was used to doing something EVERYDAY, not a meeting every few months...

[H2O Man]

1. She is doing great!

And you are SO right! What a sharp contrast between the truth and the bush administration's lies. We are watching an important chapter of our nation's history unfold.

[grannylib]

2. The WH 'declined the invitation' for Condo-sleaze-a to appear...

how very evasive and telling of them...golly, can't have little piss'er'pants up there under oath, quaking and shaking and lying through her teeth...
And Chimpy's little display of arrogance on MTP still burns my toast.."I don't testify, see?" GEE, asswipe, why not???
It's so obvious that these filth have much to hide.
And their arguments against Clarke (and the Clinton administration, for that matter) just don't hold water; their own statements contradict themselves every time these idiots open their pie-holes.

[berner59]

3. woah...

She's saying that our unpopularity in the world has fueled Bin Laden... Slap slap, thanks Maddy!!!

[AndyP]

4. she just called

Bin Laden a "loser" You go girrl!

[Turbineguy]

5. Some sane ideas,

what a fresh and wonderful breeze!

[still_one]

6. I agree

but who is actually watching this contrast

[berner59]

10. Bringing up Clarkes book...

They want Rice to come!!! Saying she owes the public this!!

[grannylib]

20. They said at the very beginning that they would reserve the right to call

her, and to call back anyone who testifies today and tomorrow.

[H2O Man]

16. That's an interesting question.

I think that while it is true that all Americans who are voting age are not home watching this, a significant % either are, or will see highlights & discussion of it on the news. From 2000, we know that the general public was/is fairly evenly divided. It's the undecided voters who will determine the outcome in November. Many of these people are becoming interested in the campaign now. And here we have Madeleine Albright, talking about sitting on an airplane with the caskets of Americans killed by terrorists, and talking to their families at home in our country. A stark contrast. She's testifying under oath, while Condi Rice refuses. A stark contrast. If you put a clean glass of water and a filthy glass of water in front of a thirsty person, they will usually take the clean glass. Be assured that Americans are thirsty. They want the truth. We are on a roll.

7. "Thank you very much Madam Secretary!"

[cboy4]

13. She is so smart, distinguished and articulate

We miss you Madam Secretary! :loveya:

As for Colin Powell: :puke:

[AndyP]

8. just slammed rice

for not showing up. "hope she'll reconsider"

[tandot]

9. I can't get the hearing. Can you keep us informed about what is going on?

Thanks!

[Richardo]

11. First question: re The Clarke book!

Nails Condi for not making herself available....gets applause!

[DancingBear]

12. Chairman hopes "Rice will reconsider"

and appear before the commission - "for the sake of the American people."

Applause from the audience after he stated that.

Nice.

[berner59]

14. Enough evidence....

She said they were ready for military action but didn't have the evidence...

hmmm...so Bush attacking Iraq probably wouldn't have sit well with her...

The clarity that she speaks with is astounding...boy I miss this team!!!

[Catfight]

15. Listening Live on NPR

I need to send NPR some money, it's the fund drive too. I'm at work and listening live...this is great.

[DancingBear]

17. Albright - "I started every day with terrorist updates"

Making the point that terrorism, Bin Laden, etc. was an ONGOING discussion, and was updated daily (with Berger, Cohen, Tenet, etc.)

I can't wait for Powell to follow this.

[ellie]

18. I miss the Clinton

administration. The current bunch are fuck ups. Bringing honor and dignity back to the White House indeed. They lied about that too!

[robbedvoter]

19. Also being discussed here

21. Reagan's Navy secretary Lehman spinning on Clinton inaction.

Wrong wing spinning claiming Clinton did nothing against al CIAda. Trying to spin al CIAda links to Iraq.

The fact is that the rethugs would slam Clinton for doing anything against al CIAda anyway, since they were much more interested in prosecuting his penis.
