If confirmed, Rice will have the responsibility of garnering more support for the U.S.-led efforts in Iraq, particularly heading into that country's Jan. 30 elections. She also will be the United States' top negotiator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Now that former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is dead, the Bush administration hopes more headway can be made in forging peace in the Middle East.
In this area, Middle Eastern leaders, Muslims and Arabs alike, "will be looking forward to seeing how effective and how committed Condoleezza Rice is," Gerges said.
Albright has said that even in the more uncomfortable or unsettling situations — such as being almost the only female in a male-dominated field, the American secretary of state doesn't have the "luxury" of being intimidated.
"I remember very specifically thinking, 'OK, I'm a woman, I must wait — no, I'm the United States. I must speak,'" Albright said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in January 2001. "I'm not intimidated anymore, because I am the United States."

Did she also say, "let them eat bagel?"
Revealing that Albright thinks of being intimidated as a Luxury.
Condi will chew 'em up and spit 'em out. Can you imagine her being intimidated? It goes to show you a big difference between the Clinton White House and the Bush Administration. Personally, I think she'll revel in the fact that not only is she a woman, but a black woman at that. Just let them try to intimidate her. She'll show those A-rabs who's boss!
Condi Rox!!!
Pray for W and Merry Christmas to Our Troops
I have a black girlfriend who is a liberal democrat that is swing toward the right. Condi Rice is one of the reasons that this is happening. She is not only someone who my girlfriend admires, but is pushing her as an example to be emmulated by her two daughters.
I have nothing but the greatest admiration for Condi. Our nation is lucky to have such a woman in their service.
Too bad all they had was a chador...
I LOVE Condi-what a beautiful woman, in all ways! Those looks and brains, too!
Observe her achievements and ask yourself, do you know ANYBODY who may have managed nearly so well to construct a lasting legacy, to which she continues to add.
Dr. Rice stands ready to assume her place in the current international dialogue, building on and refining the steps already taken by Colin Powell.
All brought to you by that master of human guidance, George W. Bush. He may not know all the ropes, but he sure knows how to find those who do, and get them to join his team.
I'm sorry...I need help.
Great photo of the hag...except, one covering her moon-face would have even been better.
