Dear Condi

Jim Webb demands an answer, and I've got the feeling he won't stop until he gets it:

Dear Secretary Rice:

During your appearance before a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on January 11, 2007, I asked you a question pertaining to the administration’s policy regarding possible military action against Iran.

Like, I haven't heard a Democrat talk like that for years." I heard more and more people saying the same thing ...
And just in case you missed Jim Webb's SOTU response:

Defend the bad against the worse."
