My concern about Condlezza is the same I have for everyone brought up through the system during the previous long war.
That entire era was all about seeking stasis through compromise with the sword of damocles (MAD) hanging over everything.
Ms Rice may well be a solid, stalwart person fully adjusted to this new war’s reality, but... then again, maybe not.
I have a lot more faith in Mr. Thompson as a politician with some baseline honor, and Mr. Hunter as a warrior with some political ability. Both of these men were also raised up during the decades of compromise and stasis seeking, but both have also given indications of being more fully aware of what we are up against, and what must be done, than others of their generation.
That’s my personal take on the issue at this moment. Not that it’s worth anything to anyone but myself.
All statements of persons demonstrating honor and/or integrity are subject to change as said persons talk their talk and provide more indications of how their minds function, or dont.
Duncan Hunter’s walk has never differed from his talk. He is the only one in this race that you can say that about.
