Is Condoleezza Rice incompetent or simply truth challenged? Perhaps she is afflicted with both problems. During her hearing for Secretary of State this human fib factory slithered, sputtered and spun - but shed no light on why she misled America on Iraq's weapons programs.

She failed to adequately answer why she said that the aluminum tubes found in Iraq could only be used for a nuclear program, when it was clear that this was not the case. She failed to say why she told the American people that if we didn't go afer Saddam, the final evidence of his weapons programs might be a "mushroom cloud".

The question is, if Bush decides to preemtively invade another nation, will Rice go shrooming again, electing to scare the hell out of the American people with bogus threats?

Thank God for Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., who took the gloves off and asked the tough questions. Boxer told Rice:

"Your loyalty to the mission you were given, to sell this war, overwhelmed your respect for the truth."

Kudos for Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., for also standing up to Rice with rigorous questioning.

Perhaps the most disturbing part of the hearing was Rice's ignorance of the dire situation in Iraq. When asked how many Iraqi soldiers have been fully and properly trained, Rice answered 120,000. Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., replied that U.S. commanders had told him only 4,000 had been adequaltely trained.

I know she's not dumb, so she must be deceptive. It is a shame that the Secretary of State will be filled with Condo-lies-a Rice -- the Secretary of Spin.
