Looks like Dr. Rice has been confirmed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the appointment will now be sent to the entire Senate, where she will most certainly be confirmed as our next Secretary of State, followed by her election as President in November, 2008.
She was confirmed 16-2, with the two voting against being Babs Boxer (fruitcake) and John Kerry (big weenie). Boxer, we expect this from. Kerry just doesn’t know when to quit, though, does he? Both he and Boxer, along with some other dems (who wisely voted for Condi), made asses out of themselves, with their speechifying and idiocy. They forget that they are here to represent the People of their States, as well as the People of the USA, not to feed their petty political needs for a tirade.
Boxer denounced Rice for what she said was making Americans believe that the war in Iraq was part of the United States’ response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and convincing the public that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, when he didn’t.
No, Babs (may I call you Babs? Tough), those who claimed that line were from the Left. I have yet to read anything from the Right that makes that claim. Where their links? Yup. But nothing that suggested that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11/2001. And, again, per the 2003 State of the Union Address, it was about Saddam not complying with the 17 United Nations resolutions passed. It was up to Saddam to provide the proof. It was also shown that Saddam had every intention to restart his WMD programs. Stop re-writing history, Babs.
Oh, and I have some large towels for you, that way you can wipe the rabid foam off your mouth, Babs.
