Condoleezza Under Fire

Condoleezza Rice endured heavy verbal abuse at a hearing held yesterday. A senator made a personal verbal assault on rice during her appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Barbara Boxer fumed that Rice didn't comprehend the "price" of the war. Boxer was quoted saying "You're not going to pay a particular price, as I under stand it, with an immediate family," "Who pays the price?" she repeatedly demanded during Rice's Capitol Hill grilling. This comes after the President bush decision to send 21,000 more troops to Iraq. This is very disturbing to many Americans. Many believe the initial goal is losted. Condoleezza Rice time to time get face with tough questions. I believe senator Barbara Boxer ask a good question of the secretary of state. Some viewed Barbara out burst as an attack some view it as justified questioning that deserved answering.
