Good article. Though I think draining the swamp would be a more fitting analogy :)
Just WOW, you go girl...Condi rules!
Well, I might have more respect for the article if whoever generated the headline actually understood the difference between "reigning" (i.e. rule as royalty) and "reining" (pulling on reins to slow or stop a horse). Cheez--the American education system is producing some dumbasses these days.
The editors/s didn't catch it, either. (Actually, neither did I 'til you mentioned it.)
First, Porter Goss at the CIA and now Condaleeza Rice at State. Let the cleansing of the Augean stables begin,the world is witnessing a radical change in the status quo of the European and the Middle Eastern landscapes.
Watch the mandarins summarily commit sepuku.
Yes,
I would like to see Gingrich's talent and intellect being effectively used in the national interest.
Don't you realize that Clarence Thomas and Condi Rice *are not black* by leftist definition? They are not liberal, so they are not black. Clinton was liberal, therefore Clinton was black.
Reality doesn't matter to leftists. That is why they will continue to lose.
Lessee, when George Washington had a "diversity of opinions" about foreign policy---Jefferson, the Francophile and Adams/Hamilton the Anglophiles---it resulted in a near disaster. We had backbiting, the "X,Y,Z Affair," "Citizen Genet," and probably the biggest foreign policy flop of Washington's two administrations.
Likewise, when Woodrow Wilson had "diversity" of opinions from William Jennings Bryan, it resulted in us allowing the Germans to sink non-combatant ships with Americans on them for a couple of years.
Seems to me that solidarity is desirable.
Heck, I've made some pretty stupid errors here too.
Yes, but the person who made the headline error wasn't from Free Republic. He/she/it ("if" the headline wasn't the product of the article's author--then it would be "he") is a PROFESSIONAL JOURNALIST, and the one thing "journalists" are suppposed have down pat is how to WRITE.....which kind of implies SOME knowledge of correct vocabulary and spelling.
But I guess that kind of thing is "irrelevant" these days.
I'll bet neither Anne Coulter nor Michelle Malkin would screw up that way.
Then again, it may have been a deliberate pun.
An excellent synopsis of Condi, and her relationship to President Bush. It summarizes beautifully what I've gleaned throughout the years about her, and also about "Foggy Bottom"
By the way, I thought "reigning" was a deliberate pun, or double entendre, also.
RICE: War was right decision; Insurgents can't win; and Rice assesses a troubled world
Pittsburgh TRIBUNE-REVIEW ^ | October 21, 2004 | interview by Bill SteigerwaldCondoleezza Rice, President Bush's national security adviser, sat down with the Tribune-Review editorial board Thursday [October 21, 2004 ] for a wide-ranging question-and-answer session about national security issues. [first] portion of the interview deals primarily with the war in Iraq, the elections that will be held there in January, the search for Osama bin Laden and the global war on terror.
[second] portion of the interview deals primarily with the nuclear threats posed by Iran and North Korea, the state of America's intelligence agencies and America's role in the Middle East and Africa.
They don't have the courage to do that; they'll just sit back comfortably and snipe about everything the President and Secy. Rice do.
