Love ya, Condi, but I'll take Cheney's guidance for protecting this nation every time over yours. Cheney rules! God bless and protect him.

[STARWISE]

.. Ping!

[jackibutterfly]

NICE PIC!!! And, I agree!

[DJ MacWoW]

I agree too. And isn’t it MUCH too soon for “tell all” books? I am amazed at the stuff some of these people blurt in print.

[SamuraiScot]

Never liked Condi: Wrong on abortion, wrong on Israel, wrong on Cheney. Ergo, RINO.

[Ditter]

Absolutely! I love Cheney!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Chuck Norris wears Dick Cheney pajamas! :)

I love Dick Cheney, that dude’s got a set.

...and a Middle East peace initiative that came achingly close to bringing Israelis and Palestinians together.

Ms. Rice offers several regrets. The way Mr. Bush rejected the Kyoto climate change treaty without promising to seek alternatives was a “self-inflicted wound,”

The first sentence can only have been written by a total fool. I don't know of anyone who has been on the planet more than 15 years who thinks the Arabs and Isrealis can agree to any lasting peace. It isn't gone to happen, no matter how many peace camps, Kumbaaya songs, whirled peas the liberals sing or dance or what any fat a@@ clintons does about it.

About so called global warming: Why is it that foolish people without any scientific learning always swallow the latest fad designed to give even more power to central government. GoreBull warming is a scam perpetrated by con men.

And this so called Republican swallows that bs? And Mr. Bush allowed her to pursue this policy?

[Big Horn]

Cheney rules.

[the invisib1e hand]

face it Condi: you were a quota hire.

[odds]

Yup, she spoke Russian, played the piano and was said to be an expert on USSR. But, she certainly was way over her head on the ME issues, particularly re Iran & the Mullahs’ regime. Don’t forget she was also a registered democrat until 1982. I guess she never really gave up most of her dim political views.

[Cinnamontea]

The more I read about Cheney, the more I wish he'd been president instead of Bush. But at least Bush had the wisdom to choose Cheney as his VP.

[newheart]

Cheney was the Colonel Walter Kurtz of the Bush admin. You can argue if he was right or even moral, but you can never doubt the efficacy of his means.

But the comments on this thread that Condi was a quota hire are reprehensible and borderline racist. She has every big a set as Cheney.

[Siena Dreaming]

Clashes should be expected at the highest levels in a time of deep change and I, for one, am glad Bush allowed his advisors to feel free to speak their minds and have those discussions. I am glad that now Condi is letting us know what these discussions involved.

President Bush led and always made the final decision unlike our current "lead-from-behind" coward.

[Rudder]

I have always thought that Condi was very good

at doing nothing.

[EternalVigilance]

She publicly admitted after 9-11 that she and those who worked for her were insufficiently alert to the threats the nation faced.

She should have been forced to resign right then in disgrace.

[rockrr]

One of GW’s most unfortunate faults is/was a misplaced sense of loyalty. At the first sign of trouble or friction between rice and either Bush’s staff or Cheney’s staff they should have cashiered her.

[the invisib1e hand]

I have to give her this much credit: she's probably never been given the Margaret Sanger Award for Achievement by Planned Parenthood. Not yet, at least.
