oh come on now.....you are just being cruel now..... The State Dept by nature always takes a different foot and who do ya think oversaw the 1st Gulf War......Powell did a fine job then. I think anyone who works at State is kind of set up to fail cause of all the liberal lifers in there
......Powell did a fine job then.
And he was taking orders from someone above him, so he obeyed orders, that is what military people do.
"kind of set up to fail cause of all the liberal lifers in there"
Perfectly sums up State, and the need to change the entire concept of lifetime tenure.
Actually, it sounds exactly like the problem with tenure in higher education.
