This is part of the reason I really dislike the Democratic party.

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer...

" Rice appeared before the Senate in defense of President Bush's tactical change in Iraq, and quickly encountered Boxer.

"Who pays the price? I'm not going to pay a personal price," Boxer said. "My kids are too old, and my grandchild is too young."

Then, to Rice: "You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family."

The junior senator from California ap parently believes that an accom plished, seasoned diplomat, a renowned scholar and an adviser to two presidents like Condoleezza Rice is not fully qualified to make policy at the highest levels of the American government because she is a single, childless woman."

Geesh. I guess Boxer believe women belong in the kitchen and at home tending to children. How ridiculous can this get.

"Indeed, the least these critics can do is suggest an alternative that leads to success in Iraq rather than simply criticize."

Exactly. Because all the Democratic party ever does is complain and criticize and never offer any alternatives. Surrender is not an option when you're dealing with terrorism. It's an invitation for continued and more frequent attacks.

However Boxer is out of her mind. Don't make your party look bad because you're a bigoted idiot. Think about the big picture and stop being selfish assholes.
