Dump Condi: Bush Allies in revolt over Mideast policy
Insight on the News (via Drudge) ^ | July 25, 2006 | Insight on the News

Conservative national security allies of President Bush are in revolt against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, saying that she is incompetent and has reversed the administration’s national security and foreign policy agenda.

The conservatives, who include Newt Gingrich, Richard Perle and leading current and former members of the Pentagon and National Security Council, have urged the president to transfer Miss Rice out of the State Department and to an advisory role. They said Miss Rice, stemming from her lack of understanding of the Middle East, has misled the president on Iran and the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The other thread did not carry the identical title and was posted 24+ hours ago.

Same stories are posted here all the time when within days of each other. You didn't do anything that isn't done here often.

There have been a bunch of them the last few days. There was one today that was evidently TWO screen names, posting to himself.

DUH.

Everything she does is as an agent of the President.

But the President's decisions are based in no small part on her faulty input.

Land for peace, or land for the Palestinians, is a huge mistake and she can't see this.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

She just went into that den of thieves in Rome and held her ground as every last one of these cowardly appeasers voted for an immediate cease fire. Her response was no cease fire if it means a return to the status quo. She is strong enough when she needs to be and totally loyal to the chief executive and carries out his policies rather than makes policy.
We have more problems out there than Condi. The state department has never been very hawkish officially.

Burns parrots the administration line but he never seems to means what he is saying. Like a lawyer, he can take either side of the argument.

So, differing opinions are not allowed on Free Republic, ma'am? Is that what you're saying?


Two threads same topic not allowed! (Unless it's pro-GOP, of course.)

Let me try to decipher this. Lugar and Hagel support Rice, for whatever reason. (Lugar is my senator, and I personally think he is getting dotty, but I digress.) They have positions on the Foreign Relations Committee.

Rice recularly confers with them. That is true.

However, if Dennis Kucinich were the head of the committee, she would STILL regularly confer with him, even though he is a nut-ball. IT IS HER JOB TO CONFER WITH WHOEVER HOLDS THAT POSITION.

Insight Magazine has waded into the wingnut fever swamp ever since the magazine was revamped in the wake of Paul Rodriguez's departure.

I do not consider it a reliable news source any longer.

Happily. Free Republic operates on an approximate $260,000 annual budget which includes a bandwidth and colocation fees of $2,700 per month.

Who peed on your enchilada, buddy?

Sheesh, another one.

If your so called "Conservative national security allies" read this, then here is the deal. You are all bozos if we don't start killing Islamofacists is large numbers...very large numbers. Screw the press (which is a fifth column), and Europe (which lacks testosterone).

Otherwise, sit down, and stfu. Let the adults handle this.

Gingrich is a good idea man, but a terrible tactical politician.

Agreed. When he ran like a scared bunny rabbit from the Washington press corp that one year and caved on the budget because he let the liberal newsrooms con him into believeing the rats had the upper hand public relations-wise, it was all over for him. I never trusted his political instincts after that.

She went over to accomplish exactly what the administration wanted her to -- nothing! It was all smoke and mirrors and she pulled it off beautifully.

I like Bolton, where has he been all these years?

And I like Rice. She's one of the smartest people ever to hold that post. She is the president's right hand, he sent her there to execute his policy. Thats what she does.

I like Rumsfeld. Again, top notch. Cheney, again, no one in his league.

I don't agree with everything any of these people say or do, including Bush. But I can't think of when we've had a better or more professional team, ever. Maybe back when Reagan was president, certainly not since.

There are a couple of ways people go after Bush. One is to simply say that you don't agree with his policy, as I don't agree with the so-called two-state solution in Israel (it was also Israel's policy, but I still dislike it). But I argue against the policy. I don't agree with a number of Bush's domestic policies. So I argue against the policies.

Threads that try to replace policy discussion with ad hominems are a waste of time, and only get ugly. Argue the policy, if you can. Leave the ad hominems to the side.

Someone says Rice is the worst ever. I say she's the best ever. End of that discussion. Now lets talk policy. What policy do you disagree with?
