#1 Twice just this week, Rice and her aides had to rebuke, disavow or otherwise try to explain away public words or actions by three top officials on delicate affairs

As opposed to disciplining, firing and charging with sedition. It is our weakness, not their strength, which is killing us.

First the traitors. Then the enemy.

#3 Someone needs to tack this century old Elbert Hubbard quote on loyalty to the State Department's front door: "If you work for a man, in heaven's name work for him. If he pays you wages which supply you bread and butter, work for him; speak well of him; stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents. If put to a pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must vilify, condemn, and
eternally disparage, resign your position, and when you are outside, damn to your heart's content, but as long as you are part of the institution do not condemn it. If you do that, you are loosening the tendrils that are holding
you to the institution, and at the first high wind that comes along, you will be uprooted and blown away, and will probably never know the reason why." Get in line or get out.

#7 Rice need to start firing, no mercy. I'm buring a kid that died form an IED from Iraq, and these a-holes cannot drop into line and support our president?
