Don't call me an idiot..... if you post....you are on the list..... Rice used a brilliant tactic in her appearance before the commission: When asked a difficult question, she launched into long, convoluted nonanswers. The effect was to prevent questioners from asking additional questions in the 10 minutes at their disposal. When asked friendly questions, she responded "yes" or "no," inviting more supportive questions. Good tactic; poor strategy. This was not meant to be a lecture to a graduate seminar and looked to me like obfuscation. Nothing Rice said can overcome the fact that it was Rice who was saying it. As her biography on the White House website indicates, she was appointed on account of her expertise on the Soviet Union, our Cold War enemy, and had no particular expertise in terrorism. In fact her call on the Soviets WAS ALL WRONG for Bush I CC
