Did anyone ask Condisleeza Rice THE question?

[Paragon]

Like..."if you have time to come on all these morning shows and bash Richard Clarke, why can't you testify for the 9/11 Commission?"

Please don't tell me Jon Stewart was the first person to ask that...

[Dookus]

1. because she'd knock it out of the park

she has never claimed she won't speak to the commission because of time constraints.

[Paragon]

2. "she'd knock it out of the park"?

You cannot be serious.

[Dookus]

4. Of course I'm serious...

if the question posed to her is

"How can you not have time to appear before the commission when you have time to appear on TV?"

She has never claimed that time constraints are the reason for not appearing before the commission. She would easily handle a question premised on that.

[Paragon]

6. Alright, alright

A flimsy excuse it would be.

[LuLu550]

3. they are claiming executive privilege

not that she does not have enough time. I was sick yesterday and watched most of the hearings. They named a half a gazillion people with the same kind of position that did speak before other commissions, so her assertion is a lie.

She does not want to speak under oath and to a public audience.

[Dookus]

5. Correct

and it's a bullshit excuse. But it IS very different from "not having time".

7. Personally, I think the "Bobblehead" should spout her venom...

on the talk news shows...it reaches a larger audience, and peoiple will see that she if full of it.

I would like to see her 'under oath'...but people in my day, never had to put 'under oath' to tell the truth, it was natural. People are put 'under oath' because it is feared they will lie, something Rice is fond of doing, and not very well.

9. she was pretty shrill

the first couple of times she was on morning TV to attack Clarke. I love the "bobblehead" moniker...it suits her!

[Skittles]

8. she would be crucified

because she sucks at lying. They know it, she knows it.

[blondeatlast]

12. She's just awful, that's why I say let her speak, preferably directly

to a press wound-up by US!

With enough resolve and organization, it could happen.

[Bread and Circus]

16. The white house just asserted the same lie again tonight on CNN

And as usual, the airhead bimbo Whatshername, didn't challenge him
on it (cuz if the Bush WH sez it, it must be fact).

[Paragon]

10. Richard Armitage was just asked this

So I feel kinda vindicated.

[blondeatlast]

13. Really? How did he handle it? This could get interesting--I see

Sleeza as the weakest link.

[blondeatlast]

11. Let's pur on the pressure--I started this thread this morning.

I e-mailed MoveOn as well.

With enough public pressure, she'll cave. She's scared now as it is.

14. But it's Bush's decision!

She didn't make the decision! Bush did! He's the President!

Now, I don't think she WANTS to testify, but it is a coverup from on high.

Bush should be held responsible!

[blondeatlast]

15. But with intense enough public pressure, Bush will have to cave

in one way or another, and he can't win either way.

This is a lose/lose for the Bushits, as long as we can put on the pressure. But it has to be extraordinarily well organized and HUGE.
