To: Kaslin
sounds GREAT to me. Maybe now we'll actually get a State Dept. that will act in America's interests.
To: Kaslin
Not really BS, just spin, I would imagine. I'm not aware of many positions where you can resign 'in a few months' from now. You are either on the team or not. The media doesn't quite get it.

Powell made it clear that he didn't intend to stick around for a full two terms a long time ago.
The writer clearly has a fantasy of writing for a Hollywood gossip rag.

Mitchell said that Powell's replacement, Condoleezza Rice, has received a "mandate" from President Bush to "clean house" at the State Department.WHOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To: Kaslin
Is she somehow implying that this is bad news? Fixing the State Department sounds great to me but then again I am a stupid "red stater".

Same was true for Paige, he wanted to stay another year, but the White House wanted to get on with the new term.

Maybe so. Powell was too limp-wristed for my tastes. Its clear the State Department, as presently constituted, does not represent American values and interests abroad. A through house-cleaning is long overdue.

I remember back when Powell was first being sought out by GW
He pretty much stated it didn't matter to him which administration he served
Gore or Bush
It did not seem at the time that he meant he would served honorably and give 100% regardless (though I'm sure this is his work ethic)
It seemed more as though his thinking on the matter was more in the line of '6 of one half a dozen of the other'....
IMO

Not only bias, she drips with misinformation.
Powell will remain in office until Ms. Rice is approved
by the next Congress. That could be well into February.
And it makes sense, with the immediacy of Israeli-Palestinian situation, that Powell not be immersed in the start-up of any negotiations only to break the continuity and step out in mid-process. Ms. Rice should initiate and
follow through without a break.

Mitchell said that Powell's replacement, Condoleezza Rice, has received a "mandate" from President Bush to "clean house" at the State Department.We'll be able to tell if this is true by watching for the back-biting leaks that start to flood the legacy press, just as has been the case with Goss and the CIA.
Should begin about any minute now.
To: Kaslin
Condoleezza Rice, has received a "mandate" from President Bush to "clean house" at the State Department. Imagine a state department that doesn't constantly leak to the MSM...where would they go for info? Do you think they would have to actually respond the what the White House says is our foreign policy?
Who's going to tell them what to think?
