Not sure about Condi. She doesn't have the tribal loyalty to Israel that the majority of the neocons are sharing, but wasn't she a student of Albright's father, Korbel?

I don't know. She's seems very reasonable. Everyone else in the adminstration is a warmonger so I would think she must be on the Powell side or Bush would have unleashed the NEOCON FURY by now. Rice seems very close to Bush so I have to assume that whatever strategy Bush follows is more or less determined by her advice. That is just my impression, however, and I don't know that much about her intellectual pedigree.
