Rice, who turned 50 on Sunday, was be the first black woman, and only the second woman ever, tapped to be the nation's top diplomat. As national security adviser for the past four years, she has become one of Bush's closest confidantes and primary counselors as the nation waged a war on terror that was unimaginable when the administration took office in 2001.

Please don't anybody post a picture of Albright.
To: Mikey_1962
When Rice is confirmed as Secretary of State, she will be closer to the presidency in the line of succession than any previous woman in U.S. history. While Medeline Albright also served as Secretary of State, Albright was not eligible to act as President, since she was not a natural-born citizen (she was born in Czechoslovakia and was a naturalized U.S. citizen).

Oh, I thought we were playing a word association game. Sorry.

Belated Happy Birthday to Dr. Rice! I was thinking this morning how young she looks. She is someone who lives to her full potential.
Surpisingly, the administration ignored O'Reilly's suggestion to nominate Bill Clinton for the post.

The redeeming factor in your post is you found a shot of her with the word FORMER in it.
