Where is Condoleezza Rice?
She is supposed to become the new Secretary of State, and she has been completely out of sight for weeks now.

At a time when we are in a huge mess in almost every place imaginable, starting with Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Israel, Ukraine, and the largest humanitarian crisis in a long time, shouldn't she be out front beginning to lead on some of these issues? Isn't that what the SoS is supposed to do?

Instead, we're leading with stuff like the Colin Powell / Jeb Bush dog-and-pony show, and planning to party in DC like there's no tomorrow.

On second thought, maybe there WILL be no tomorrow.

But if we make it to next week, we'll be treated to some confirmation hearings on c-span in which Ted Kennedy and a few other Dems will ask her a few tough questions, then tell her what a great person she is and slap down the Bushco rubber stamp.

Thoughts?

9. she is still busy unsticking Iraq
Don't you remember, Bush assigned her to unstick Iraq back in Oct or Nov of 2003?

And, look how swimmingly things have gone since.

10. PNAC Bob Zoellick will be her aide
(One of the original PNAC'r)

Trade rep named Rice’s aide

WASHINGTON: President George W. Bush on Friday named US Trade Representative Robert Zoellick to become deputy to incoming Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and more changes are likely in US diplomacy.

“Condi Rice and Bob Zoellick will form one of the really strong and capable foreign policy teams our country has ever had,” the president said at the White House, with Rice and Zoellick at his side.

17. I wonder if having Zoellick as deputy was
the price Cheney,Rumsfeld, and PNAC extracted from brush so that Rice could become SOS.

24. Your question inspired me to post this on my blog

In short, she's been marginalized by Cheney.
