But then the VIDEO of this needs that BOOKMARK or WEEKEND READ ...however we do our viewing in America of the 99% these days...
Or...if you are a new DU'er or someone who doesn't have much time....then get to it when you can. It's on USA GOVT. Web Site so (Hopefully it won't be scrubbed)..

(84,711 posts)Just bookmark it for when you have time. The VIDEO is the Best...but some DU'ers need the "Print Interview/Transcript". I have links for both there.
Really ...it's a MUST READ/WATCH!

(84,711 posts)State Department's Spokesperson.
I didn't think she was professionally Diplomatic in the way I would expect.
She got "into it" with the AP Reporter who was asking some tough questions and she just didn't seem to be able to answer in the way I'd expect a "seasoned" diplomatic spokesperson from our US State Department to have been trained to deal with.
Just my humble opinion. She seemed like "Think Tank Speak" to me...
