Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said Sunday that when the full Senate debates the nomination of Dr. Condoleezza Rice to be Secretary of State on Tuesday, she intends to repeat charges that Rice deliberately misled the nation about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
"I will lay out again on the Senate floor [why] I do not believe [she] has been candid with the American people," Sen. Boxer told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."
"[She's] gone on shows like yours and made statements that I don't think were true, or they were half-true, didn't tell the whole story, didn't level with the American people."
Reacting to criticism from White House chief of staff Andy Card, who called her attacks on Rice "petty politics" last week, the Marin County Democrat taunted, "Even though Andy Card would like me to go away. I'm not going to go away."
"[Rice] said things that were flat-out not true," Sen. Boxer continued. "When she said only one agency thought the aluminum tubes could not be used for nuclear weapons, that wasn't true."
As she did during last week's hearings, the Bush administration critic justified her personal attacks on Rice by saying that the Iraq war is especially important to Californians "because we've lost 25 percent of those who died in Iraq."
According to OpinionJournal.com, however, the actual proportion of deaths of U.S. troops from California is 11.5 percent.
I sure hope so. It would be common sense!
California freepers, when does the next election opportunity come up remove Barbara Boxer from the Senate? Is there some way she can be thrown out for being a traitor? How did this idiot get elected anyway?
Yeah, that would be perfect...where is Xander Cage when we really need him?
"Was that in the resolution?"
Probably not, but it certainly voided the ceasefire.
Very true.
I remember yelling at the TV - why nobody in the Bush administration, when the WMD thing was the big story, did not mention the NFZ as good enough reason to deal with Sadaam after the Taliban was toppled. No mention of the strategic location Iraq poses to Syria (cornered) and Iran (surrounded!)
I remember thinking the same. It would have been a great slap in Boxer Short's face.
LOL! I do remember that pic.
Question: Are the local Repub wonks doing anything to make this actually happen? Wouldn't this be a perfect opportunity to "canvass" for the registrations in Marin Cty. rather than doing the "usual" (gin up resources a few months before the election)?
Babs Boxer is an absolute fruitcake nutcase... when even Dianne Fienstien is disagreeing with you, you can't claim you represent anything but the hyper extreme not grounded in reality nutball left.
As far as I know nothing is being done, as usual. I'm not on the inside, however.
Ping for later
Babs Box has no class, culture and integrity. Boxer is living proof that when rat/monkey feces are mixed they morph into a liberal ranting Godless democrat. Condi has more, character,class, dignity, compassion, integrity and intelligence in her little toe than Boxer will ever comprehend. The dumb ass dems will never understand, one's character will speak for it's self. NSNR
Botox Babs is suffering from PTSES from the presidential election. Post Traumatic Stress Election Syndrome.(L) kerry lost, so the B'atch best get over it. NSNR
That uppity Condi doesn't realize that while the Dems of her childhood bombed her Sunday School, killing her childhood friends; the Dems of today treat their people well and seek to provide them with better housing and better food and better child care than they could ever find by leaving the plantation.

LOL@baby Boxer's peace sign designer diaper.
Are you smoking a crack pipe?
Why am I not surprised?
This woman is certifiable.
