"Biden asked Rice to tell him how many, in her opinion, have been fully trained. "Tell us how many of those folks you think -- you think," Biden said. "And for God's sake, don't listen to (Defense Secretary Donald) Rumsfeld, he doesn't know what in the hell he's talking about in this." -

"We think that, among those people, there clearly continue to be questions about on-duty time, that is, people who don't report for duty. And so this is being looked at," she said. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., who asked her about the Iraqi security forces, said that from his trips there he sensed the number was much lower. "If you speak to the folks on the ground, they don't think there's more than 4,000 actually trained Iraqi forces," he said. " -

The Bush administration used up Powell and threw the carcass away, now they have a full fledged liar as a team member. Sounds like Biden knows that Condi is nothing more than a Bush shill with no integrity, but will vote for her confirmation anyway. With senators like this, the future of the Republic is in serious doubt. It just gets worse and worse.
