Condi scolded this guy and he quit because of it?
I think this may have been blown out of proportion?
What do you guys think?
What is Blackwell's record?
Powell found out about the incident and informed Rice. He then had staff members gather facts and materials to present to Rice, including photographs of the woman's arm, a State Department official said.
A National Security Council spokesman confirmed that Blackwill's actions in Kuwait raised questions but said he could not comment on the details. He said the incident was not the reason Blackwill quit his job three months before Iraq is to hold its first elections. An official at the lobbying firm Blackwill just joined -- Barbour, Griffith and Rogers -- said yesterday that Blackwill was traveling to Europe.
I think he was quitting anyway.
What is with these career bureaucrats anyway? My wife would have stretched this bureau-wuss out flat!
Another official, who is familiar with Blackwill's version of events, said that Blackwill believes the woman's description of the airport incident is not accurate and that another NSC staff member present during the incident supported Blackwill's version of it. The official did not elaborate.
Several officials noted that after the incident was reported, Blackwill traveled repeatedly with Bush on his campaign plane in the final weeks before the election. Blackwill, a deputy to Rice, was widely considered one of the top prospects to replace her as national security adviser if she took another job in the administration.
Career beauraucrats. When they have nothing else to do....
Blackwill is a freak. He was just in the news recently for parading his fat self around naked in his Georgetown townhouse with the curtains open. His neighbors were put off their food by the sight of him.
Yeah. Maybe he could grab ole Kim Jong Eels arm!
What
Other than that annual Worst Dressed list, I don't think he's got what it takes for State. ;)
Washington Post style section about 2 days ago.
And have no other saleable skills...
If he's on the aggressive side..he might be good to replace Powell.
Senator Elect Dr. Tom is your medicine for career politicians!
