Conservative national security allies of President Bush are in revolt against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, saying that she is incompetent and has reversed the administration’s national security and foreign policy agenda.
The conservatives, who include Newt Gingrich, Richard Perle and leading current and former members of the Pentagon and National Security Council, have urged the president to transfer Miss Rice out of the State Department and to an advisory role. They said Miss Rice, stemming from her lack of understanding of the Middle East, has misled the president on Iran and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
"The president has yet to understand that people make policy and not the other way around," a senior national security policy analyst said. "Unlike [former Secretary of State Colin] Powell, Condi is loyal to the president. She is just incompetent on most foreign policy issues."

Condi for President. She is great. The smartest women in the Country. I would love to see her debate Nute, She would walk all over him.
The Desperate Dems have attacked Bush, they've attacked Cheney, they've attacked Rumsfeld, and each time they've LOST. Oh, wait... they've also attacked Laura and the Bush twins. Hmmm...do you suppose his mama will be the next? I'd love to see them try. Idiots!
do you suppose his mama will be the next
Don't you know that it would be much smarter policy to just flat out call a huge segment world's population murderous terrorist thugs? /sarcasm
***do you suppose his mama will be the next ***
<<<I'd buy front row center seats to see that, and I think we
all know who the victor would be...LOOOOOL<<<<
They'd slink out with their hairy tails between their legs.
How about some evidence as to how horrible she is.
When I think of horrible, I think of Albright or that quaking creep that was SOS under Clinton before her.
Condi is doing her job which is, in effect, international mouthpiece for the president. If it is your sincere desire to see her forget about Bush's plans are and go out on her own on international relations, then you have a different view of the SOS job description than I have.
Powell had Armitage as his right hand man. Armitage is like that whiner Anthony Zinni. Bitching and moaning that things were not done his way ever since he left office. Hey, dumbshit, you are there to do the president's bidding, not MAKE foreign policy.
Powell was constantly looked at by our most vile enemies, the MSM, as the voice of "moderation" in the administration. There was a reason for that, and it ain't all good.
FWIW, both Powell and Condi are infinitely better than the retards serving during the Clinton Year. Warren Christopher? Cankles Albright? Yikes.
Crock of crap to me. I don't trust Gingrich and Perle ain't the brightest bulb out there.
I'd like to second that.
She has to be that way with Hamas. The administration advocates a two state solution and they know Hamas will be there one way or another. Especially since they did too well in the election.
Hamas can be controlled. Hezbollah has to be destroyed although no one will lose sleep if Hamas takes a good whacking.
We were thinking along the same line...and probably posting at the same time.
"Go to a dictionary and look up "tactical"."
I find there are people here who do not want to use tactics. They want lots and lots and lots of destruction, and they do not care who gets destroyed in the process.
I am interested in destroying terrorism/terrorists. I am not interested in destroying anything and everything else that may be in the neighborhood.
ROFLOL. Don't ask my why I'm laughing, because I'm not going to tell you. But, yes, you are wrong. Good luck anyway.
They all think it but they can't say it because it is so politically incorrect that they know the media would barbecue them so they have to say nicey-nice things about Islamofascists.
Political correctness is a terrible disease. We should devote more research toward looking for a cure.
You got that exactly right and Condi is doing a competent job.
When I think of horrible, I think of Albright or that quaking creep that was SOS under Clinton before her.
Yes, of course. That's not a high standard to be compared to.
Rice is nice person, but a lightweight in the arena of world politics. She should be "transferred" somewhere.
