| #10 Not sure I agree on the rap on Rice. She ain't the boss; she's just doing what her boss tells her to do. Watch how she behaves with Abbas (or Saakashvilli)---her boss tells her to be like that? |

| #9 Colonel heard that speach where it has been talked about foreign aid for allies and friends only. He thinks McCain will win. He knows he does not have ally credentials, but triends? Doable. So he called Condi next morning. |

| #7 President McCain could always send Mr. Bolton back to the U.N., which would send all sorts of interesting messages. |

| #6 Assuming McCain wants to reform an entrenched bureaucracy. CIA is probably a better target for this than DoS, and whoever McCain appoints will face Senate confirmation. I expect this to be another close, bitter election. If McCain wins he will face a Senate that may well be veto proof. Dingy will be flexing his muscle quickly. Getting confirmations through will be tough. His nominations will be more in the McCain-Feingold tradition than the McCain-Palin. He would be better off saving his confirmation mojo for SCOTUS nominees. |

| #5 Lieberman is a courageous and principled vote in the Senate. He has little or no experience reforming an entrenched bureaucracy, tho. |

| #4 Besoeker: Probably part of the deal for Khaddafi to come in the western fold and give up any WMD ambitions, payoff the PanAm victims, etc. |

| #3 Bolton might be Palin's pick, but not McCain's. I'd put money on Lieberman, but McCain can't afford to have Lamont sent to replace him. |

| #2 I'd ask him to be the DCI for a few years first. A more pressing need in my opinion. No question however, moving Rice along is urgently needed. Her visit to Libya and commitment of aid (US Dollars) is absolutely over the top. I cannot imagine what could possibly justify such actions. |

| #1 Darth Bolton should be the new Sec of State if McCain is elected - that would kick ass. |
