"Sorry to have to make this comment, but it's the GWB Internationalist State Deprtment now, and I don't think it's any better."...You must be joking, right?

No, I'm not saying GWB is in sync with State's agenda, but it's his responsibility, and it's not much different now than under Clinton. I think it's time GWB made State over in his image.

I agree with your comment. The gains made in the WOT have been made AGAINST the wishes and will of those careerists in the State Department, which for 70 years has been against this country and its security.

As in the CIA and the FBI, State it well past due on a total housecleaning by our beloved President. the cost of mandatory retirements would be nothing compared to the increase in security that getting rid of the anti-Americans in state would yield.
