Ms Rice may be a highly intelligent woman, with a great future in politics, but she is a failure as a Sec of State. As others have said before me, we need someone with fire in their eyes, ice in their veins, fluent in ME language(s) and testicles. She fails in at least two of the categories.
I agree with every single word in your post. She is not the man for the job.
I don't know what the hell is going on with this administration. If our border countries were firing hundreds of rockets daily into our country, killing and maiming hundreds of Americans and destroying our homes and livelihoods...is the tact the administration is taking now...peace talks...also be the way we go?
