1. I'll be watching

Hope it's better than yesterday although Code Pink made my day.

2. I saw her yesterday, and was disgusted by her non answers...

and by the sorry assed questions posed about Iran. I would LOVE to see ONE QUESTION asked...instead of a series of questions that allows Rice to tap dance around the answer to that one question. That question is this:

Secretary Rice, does pResident Bush believe he has the authority to order a military strike against Iran without Congressional approval?

I'm afraid, all we will get today is another song and dance. Or, to mix metaphors, more smoke and mirrors.

On edit: Not that I have any hope of this Congress refusing to authorize such military action.
