Version #4 Should also have its headline changed since it is no longer reflected in the content, the remaining quotes from two sources do not imply that Condi should be dumped :

Some People Disagree on Mideast policy

Miss Rice served as Mr. Bush's national security adviser in his first term. During his second term, Miss Rice replaced Mr. Powell.

"Condoleezza Rice has moved from the White House to Foggy Bottom, a mere mile or so away," Mr. Perle wrote in a June 25 Op-Ed article in the Washington Post. "What matters is not that she is further removed from the Oval Office; Rice's influence on the president is undiminished. It is, rather, that she is now in the midst of—and increasingly represents—a diplomatic establishment that is driven to accommodate its allies even when (or, it seems, especially when) such allies counsel the appeasement of our adversaries."

"Rice attempted to increase pressure on Israel to stand down and to demonstrate restraint," said Stephen Clemons, director of the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation.

Actually, even that title doesn't convey the meaning of what's left in the article; guess that could have been changed to this: Some People Disagree With State Department Policy

Oh well.

Now, since Rice didn't tell Israel to stand down, we may as well remove that last quote, too:

Some People Say Things

Miss Rice served as Mr. Bush's national security adviser in his first term. During his second term, Miss Rice replaced Mr. Powell. [Duh!]

"Condoleezza Rice has moved from the White House to Foggy Bottom, a mere mile or so away," [duh!] Mr. Perle wrote in a June 25 Op-Ed article in the Washington Post. "What matters is not that she is further removed from the Oval Office; Rice's influence on the president is undiminished. It is, rather, that she is now in the midst of—and increasingly represents—a diplomatic establishment that is driven to accommodate its allies even when (or, it seems, especially when) such allies counsel the appeasement of our adversaries."

This of course leaves us with little- only a statement from Perle saying that Condi heads a bureaucracy full of appeasers. But we already know the State Dept is full of appeasers. Big deal.

Wasn't Insight the magazine that claimed Atta met with Cuban intelligence officers at a hotel in Miami?
