thanks for the pings

Man, am I crabby this morning. And something tells me watching Ben Veniste, Roemer and Gorilla-lick isn't likely to improve my mood.

Most days I can laugh at these fools. Just sick and tired of the enemy within giving encouragement to the enemy without.

You have to admit though, it's pretty funny when the RATS trot out their dinosaurs like Byrd and Kennedy to make the most outrageous claims. They know these fools have little life left in them. Politically or physically.

Coffee pot is brewing and I await with all of you.

I have literally been praying for her since 2:30 a.m. So much depends on her and it's too heavy a burden for her to carry alone. Thankfully she knows she is not alone; the power of prayer will help her.

NOTE TO CONDI:.... take no prisoners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[P.O.E.]

Set 'em straight, Dr. Rice! We're rooting for you.

[OXENinFLA]

Does anyone know who the 5 of the 10 commissioners were that met w/ Condi the 1st time?

[mitch5501]

I'll be glued to this thread for a while tonight as it'll be the only way I can get it live,so to speak.

It's 10:15 pm here so it looks like a late one for me and I'm already yawning.

I'm sure C. Rice will cure that.

God bless

[submarinerswife]

Come on you guys, she is going to do great. You are messing with the good carma here. Get a grip and buckle you seat belts...Condi is going to rock the dems.

[fml]

Coffee, coffee, coffee.....

[Maigrey]

Here, but I've got to head out for a while this morning.

Maybe I'll tape it.

[OXENinFLA]

Crank caller.

[Peach]

I don't know but would be willing to bet most of the 5 that DID meet with her were Republicans.

Biography of
Dr. Condoleezza Rice
National Security Advisor


Dr. Condoleezza Rice became the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor, on January 22, 2001.

In June 1999, she completed a six year tenure as Stanford University's Provost, during which she was the institution's chief budget and academic officer. As Provost she was responsible for a $1.5 billion annual budget and the academic program involving 1,400 faculty members and 14,000 students.

As professor of political science, Dr. Rice has been on the Stanford faculty since 1981 and has won two of the highest teaching honors -- the 1984 Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 1993 School of Humanities and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching.

At Stanford, she has been a member of the Center for International Security and Arms Control, a Senior Fellow of the Institute for International Studies, and a Fellow (by courtesy) of the Hoover Institution. Her books include Germany Unified and Europe Transformed (1995) with Philip Zelikow, The Gorbachev Era (1986) with Alexander Dallin, and Uncertain Allegiance: The Soviet Union and the Czechoslovak Army (1984). She also has written numerous articles on Soviet and East European foreign and defense policy, and has addressed audiences in settings ranging from the U.S. Ambassador's Residence in Moscow to the Commonwealth Club to the 1992 and 2000 Republican National Conventions.

From 1989 through March 1991, the period of German reunification and the final days of the Soviet Union, she served in the Bush Administration as Director, and then Senior Director, of Soviet and East European Affairs in the National Security Council, and a Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. In 1986, while an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, she served as Special Assistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 1997, she served on the Federal Advisory Committee on Gender -- Integrated Training in the Military.

She was a member of the boards of directors for the Chevron Corporation, the Charles Schwab Corporation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the University of Notre Dame, the International Advisory Council of J.P. Morgan and the San Francisco Symphony Board of Governors. She was a Founding Board member of the Center for a New Generation, an educational support fund for schools in East Palo Alto and East Menlo Park, California and was Vice President of the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula. In addition, her past board service has encompassed such organizations as Transamerica Corporation, Hewlett Packard, the Carnegie Corporation, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, The Rand Corporation, the National Council for Soviet and East European Studies, the Mid-Peninsula Urban Coalition and KQED, public broadcasting for San Francisco.

Born November 14, 1954 in Birmingham, Alabama, she earned her bachelor's degree in political science, cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver in 1974; her master's from the University of Notre Dame in 1975; and her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver in 1981.

Can you or any Freeper out there tell me if Fox News is on live stream via computers yet?

[MizSterious]

Bryan24, I'm concerned too. Originally, I wasn't. She's so intelligent I felt she could make hash out of them. But since learning that all the networks are abandoning regular programming for this, I am concerned they have a couple of bombs to explode and they want the world to see it. I hope I'm wrong. (And am adding my prayers to all the others.)

This thread will be an invaluable resource. I missed Kerry's appearance on Cavuto yesterday. After reading the thread this morning, it was as if I was there. Freepers are grand!

[Peach]

You too.

Prediction:

The SLIGHTEST difference of opinion, discrepency, difference of perspective, mistake, etc by Condi ... will bring instant charges of perjury by the libs
