Yeah, you are right. But no Secretary of State has ever done any cleaning, because truthfully, a Secretary of State is just a temp when it comes to State.
The lefties are so entrenched there it would take the Second Coming to get them out.
What is needed is a President with a conservative set, active in the very first year cleaning house. It is never a priority, and as far as I know, no President has ever made it one as such.
Rice has not done anything as far as I know. State is not run by a Secretary anyway, it is a bureau run by career bureaucrats.
Just like former CIA Director, Porter Goss, didn't clean house as everybody said he would when he took over from Tenet...........as did Woolsey, Deutch, Turner, et al...
