If you actually believe that Newt's words were directed at members of the state department,

Newt's a free agent. I have NO DOUBT that Newt's words were entirely his own. He's proved in the past that his political acumen is questionable.

Sure, Newt was taking a shot at Powell, but Powell's done a good job of putting him back in his box.

Rumsfeld's not going anywhere, your orgasmic anticipation notwithstanding.

37 has some links.

I think the prospects are better than I thought if 'there goes Newt again' is the defense the Hawks are going to offer.

I think Rummy will retire with 'health issues' if this disloyal rift can be exploited.
