The reported appointment of Condoleeza Rice to the job of Secretary of State is yet another signal that President Bush plans fundamental changes in the way the government of the United States operates. The Department of State, like the Central Intelligence Agency, has long marched to its own drummer, often undermining or redirecting the policy initiatives it has received from above. Change is needed.

The real lowdown from a classmate of President Bush on how he's putting his Harvard business school education to work in cleaning up the mess over at State and CIA. A must, must read, you won't be disappointed. Rush says to read this.

Super thesis (editorial) - The state dept needs a complete enema. Condi can **and will** do it.

Condi is a great choice. I hope she can clean out the snake nest.

I'd like to say that the choice of Dr Rice as Secretary of State was probably one of the easiest decisions GWB has had to make....and the best.
Speaking as a conservative in Canada, I hope Condi can convince Bush that now is the time to put the screws to Paul Martin and his liberal tool cabinet. Something along the lines of. "Okay Paul if you don't want to put up the wherewithall for missile defense, no problem. Juast stay the hell out of the way..And just so you know we've put Carolyn Parrish on the terrrorist watchlist."

BTW:
I look forward to Bush's planned visit at the end of November. We'll do our best to keep the rabid left on ice.
