#2 Undiplomatic----veddy veddy good. That is a prerequisite for head of DoD. We need a hard driving SOB that makes things happen. We do not need to fight the WoT sennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnsitively. Rumsfeld gets results and thinks outside the box. I hope Condi does the same for State. They need a rebuild in the worst way, especially after the Kofi Kompliment yesterday. What asshats!

#7 Between Rice at State and Rumsfeld at Defense, what we have here is a bad cop, bad cop combination. I have to believe GWB is sending a message with his appointments. Things are set to get real interesting in his second term.
