National Security Adviser Is Bush's Choice to Replace Powell Nov. 15, 2004
Senior administration sources confirmed that Rice would be Bush's choice. The news comes just hours after the White House announced Powell had submitted his resignation.
Rice, considered to be one of the president's closest counselors, has served as national security adviser since Bush first took office.
Let's see the Dems give her a hard time during her confirmation hearing!!
I strongly APPROVE!!!!!!
Finally someone who can bust heads over at the State Dept.
Go Condi Go!
A wise choice, indeed.
She would be a terrific choice.
Yay! Condi!
Congratulations to a woman of honor and integrity.
Yes, just heard this, too. Strange, heard on the radio (Rush?) this afternoon that she didn't want it and was getting tired of the long hours.
Now, who will replace her?
Good Luck to her. She will probably need it, with all the rats after her.
Maybe no one, ala Kissinger....but I doubt it.
It'd be nice to see a Wolfowitz type at NSA.
We know who's really happy about this, Ariel Sharon for several different reasons.
Good to see someone at state who is not allergic to kicking ass if necessary.
Exactly what I was going to write. This is not going to be easy. Bustin' heads is right, GEC. But this woman can absolutely articulate a revolutionary change in State, where Powell was best suited to a status quo approach.
...Now, who will replace her?...
Karen Hughes?
Here's hoping she can stop the anti-Bush policy whispering campaign that Powell not only allowed but I tend to think promoted.
Very Good. I'm proud of W for having the brass to give this to Condi.
Go Condi go!
I think Condi would be a better Secretary of State then Powell.
