Powell did not get them under control nor has Condi.
Career civil servants I suspect. Remember the guy that Rush was talking about a month ago from State that was criticizing the WH for meddling in "Their business of State Dept Affairs", and were somehow indignant because GWB and Cheney had not consulted with State before enacting GWBs policies!! The crazies are running the insane asylum.
I beg to differ. Condi and Bush ARE getting them under control. They are being pulled out of their nice, cushy jobs in major european cities and being transferred to hot spots around the world. They're not the least bit happy about it and will try to cause all the trouble they can......before they are "reassigned" :o)
