Kerry and Barbara Boxer went after her pretty tough providing the CSPAN viewers with some great drama...

Rice: The election is an important step. Our role is to help them build capacity in their security forces and their economy. We need to create jobs for Iraqis out of the reconstruction dollars we are spending. Many of the people who are blowing up people were parts of Saddam Hussein's regime, people who spent their lives oppressing their fellow citizens, have lost power and want it back. Others are hardcore terrorists from outside.

Kerry: You don't have to describe the groups of terrorists. We know who they are. The question is what are we going to do? Why do we rebuff offers of help and are determined to go it alone. There is a frustration among global leadership.

Kerry:I admire enormously your personal story. Your special relationship with the President. Nothing personal. Your are going to be appointed. Whether or not with my vote has not been determined yet.

Of course some of the Republicans are throwing her some nice, slow softballs.

Kerry's on again, or will be in in about 5 minutes. He just asked her why more nuclear material was contained in the two years prior to 9/11 than the two years following and why the Bush plan of containing and ridding the world of such weapons is stretched out so long(13 years). Also, what measures are being taken in Pakistan to prevent a coup that would leave a nice disposal of nuclear weaposn in the hands of terrorists.

Rice said she can't discuss those matters in a public session...

The black man everyone at Activision can agree on
But Boxer said the resolution that authorized Bush to launch the war in Iraq talked about "WMD, period."

"Let's not rewrite history, it's too soon for that," Boxer said.

I predict she will be the worst secretary of state ever.

How could you even judge that.


BTW, OMG boxer and biden voted against a republican in something? WOW!@!!!

And they took as much time as they could to recount all the same BS they've been saying over the last year? OMG, this is news.

They got their opportunity to lecture/harangue somebody in the administration... on their territory.

I bet they even appreciate the hypocricy of trying to prevent the establishment of the second female (and second black) secretarcy of state. They have no grounds and no hope to prevent her promotion so in the end it will only look like a couple of old guard democrats harassing a black woman.

or quite possibly they don't care what she looks like only that there is a war going on and they want to know what she will do to correct the mistakes that have already been made and what she will do to prevent more from happening. I know that the Sec of State is limited in this area but she still has more say over it than 99% of people in this country.

Biden is actually voting for her. So there goes that argument, and the rest of your rant is sad.

On their territory, a republican is the chairman -- what kind of territory is that? And I guess you missed the parts where the republicans of the FRC also railed against her.

Shh, don't gang up on Iceman guys. We haven't had anybody reciting good talking points at us since the purge. It's entertaining!
