I too will agree that I haven't seen solid evidence that Condi is super great. And she does seem to have been taken in by foggy bottom (not that keeping ones independence from foggy bottom as Secretary of State is all that easy.)

Once again, Bush seems to rely a tad too much on his advisors (I guess Nixon had the opposite problem, of too little trust ... hard to get it right.)

Condi Rice could have been a concert pianist if she so chose, but she decided on a different path. Gifted, would be the word to describe the Sectary of State.
