DaviD - Is that 'your' "Expert" Opinion ?
Or is that 'your' "Professional" Judgement ?

double 'd' speaks and we are all in awe- not ! ~ RHF

"This week, Former Secretary of State Colin Powell's right-hand man
unloaded on the Bush Administration during a speech to the New American
Foundation, saying American foreign policy had been hijacked by "a
Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal" that has destroyed this country's credibility
with its allies.

"I'm not sure the State Department even exists anymore," Col. Larry
Wilkerson, Powell's chief of staff, told the audience of journalists
and scholars. "It, like so many others things, have been destroyed by
George W. Bush's 'cowboyism.'"

Wilkerson dismisses the Administration's attempts to improve America's
image abroad.

"You can't sell ****," he said. "

Bush is more of a woman than Condi Rice.


How would you know Mr. Goo Gobler?

I think Rice would be difficult to *not* confirm. She's brighter than most
in congress and very good at taking ad-hoc questions. Plus, for those who
like to see which way the political wind blows before comitting one way or
another, she generally polls well. They would have to come up with some
compelling reason to vote no that didn't reek of rank-partisanship. For
the
office of VP, I'm not sure anyone could say she *wasn't* qualified,
presuming they are voting on merit. If voting strictly based on
partisanship, who knows. I couldn't say if a straight party-line vote
would
be sufficient...


I agree that Condi is more intelligent than most of the people that would be
voting on her in CONgress.. but what would keep her from being confirmed as
Veep is the fact she's both female and black. I'm neither sexist nor racist,
but there are more than enough out-and-out or closet such in the country
that if she were to be confirmed as Veep, with the possibility she could
become President without a vote of the people, there would likely be a hew
and cry such as never before seen in the US.

Look forward to seeing Powell in the Hillary camp. With Bush senior and
Monica's plaything rubbing elbows these days, anything is possible. You
read it here first.

Boy, what a surprising thought. And after all the nice things Powell has
had to say about Bush.
