In an effort to defend National Security Advisor Dr. Condoleezza Rice in advance of her public hearing, the White House tonight will release some specific wording of a 2001 Presidential Directive that directed Pentagon planning for a military strike against al Qaida and Taliban, supporting Dr. Rice's argument that President Bush's administration was planning tougher effort against terrorists groups.

Developing story..

If it backs Dr. Rice, it will be on page A23.

The Democrats walked as far into the trap as Bush can allow without being accused of playing with them.

Sadly, Bush waits until Kerry ,the war hero, is bedridden and unable to defend his stupidity.

I think Condi will make the Democrats feel as if they have just been hit by that oldest of women's tactics - a knee to the cajones.

The Democrats, not known have any cajones, will feel little pain, but may suffer some near fatal chagrin.

Relates to This Thread.

As was noted there, some on the left may claim this precipitated the 9/11 attack.

I think President Bush is actually a Viking Kitty in disguise... he likes to swat his food around the kitchen floor for awhile before finally pouncing on it.
