I guess it took a while for them to come up with a believable story for Rice to tell

This Just shows How Badly the Bush Political Machine Plays Defence. If Karl rove doesnt get back on offence soon, the game is over.

If The Bush admin spends from now until The election "Defending Themselves" and "Making Excuses" without being able to present any real plans for the future, their time is done.


As For Dr. Rice, Her career is pretty much over anyway. She is now a liability

Yeah, I predict old grumpy face will be cut loose soon enough. There's to much bad press on her now.

Does this mean the "offagainonagain" Bush administration is going to let Condi testify? The woman who admitted to not reading though all of the intelligence report?

The point is, politicians, including Kerry and the Bush administration, respond to events as they occur. It's a little stupid -- , no, strike that, -- it's very stupid to label that as off again on again. Responsive might be a better term. But, that stupid phrase might be enough to change the election. Why think about ideas when you can reduce it to a slogan?

Immediately afterwards, I plan on using the Freedom of Information Act to declassify and release all of her internal memos and e-mails. That way, we can compare them against her testimony and see if she perjured herself. It's the Republican thing to do after all . . .

If this is the case, I will, in turn, warn her of your actions and advice her to lie under oath, then...it is, after all, the "Democratic thing to do."

Well, they were just following in Richard "I am not a crook" Nixon's footsteps.

Why use Nixon? As Kerry has pointed out, all Republicans are liars and crooks.

Amazing! :Q Even the Whitehouse idiots figured it out. The committee's position is that, if she wants to try to refute Clarke's testimony under oath, she will have to testify under the same conditions. Furthermore, both Bush and Cheney are going before the entire committee for an unrestricted amount of time.

Bush and Cheney will testify behind closed doors. I think that is proper in this case, at least until the committee knows if there are any reasons, such as matters of national security, that should not be made public. Such privilege would not hold if either of them was being investigated for any personal wrongdoing, which is why Clinton was not able to claim executive privilege when he was charged with purjury.

That's also why I think Cheney should be forced to disclose the info about his cozy relationships with the energy lobby in that case.

The Republican thing to do is to label this administration as 'flip flops'. First they declare Rice is unable to testify beause of executive priveledge, now they agree to do them- so which is it- are they for or against a national security adviser testifying publically under oath?

I have a friend in the "know" who feels that the Bushies planned this all along, that they let the Democrats get out on a limb, and that Condi Rice is going to make them all look like the partisan HACKS that they are. its going to be interesting when a bunch of "liberal" middle age white guys try to make Dr. Rice look bad.

get ready for a good show, but i suspect, NOT what the libs planned.

Wow. Denial just ain't a river in Africa. The hypocrisy of the White House is hilarious, after all their attempts to label Kerry as a flipflopper.

This policy flip/flop coincides nicely with Karen Hughes coming back to the Bush/Cheney campaign. It must be time to put a big smiley face on everything. But don't let Karen talk your ear off, after all she has a new book to hawk so everything she says and does is immediately suspect. ;)
