The White House said on Wednesday it had put the State Department in charge of U.S. efforts to stabilize and rebuild nations roiled by war or civil upheaval, seen as an attempt to avert the inter-agency bickering that plagued the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq.
President George W. Bush signed the directive last week giving Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice the lead in such missions, a White House statement said.
"(This will) empower the Secretary of State to improve coordination, planning and implementation for reconstruction and stabilization assistance for foreign states at risk of, in, or in transition from conflict or civil strife," it said.

She buries all other Republicans if she officially gets in. Which she will.
President Bush's final act as President will be welcoming her to her new office in the White House.
The Oval Office.
LOL! That would be the mother of all insults directed toward the American people, the CFR minion Rice and the Clintoon hag as the primary choices for leader. Hopefully everyone will stay home.
Which CFR are you referring to, and how can I learn more?
Now... if she were in the Oval Office, and some third world nut-job instigated an offensive and she dialed- 1-800-NUKE-EM, then that would say to the world, "Don't F with the United States." Perskonally, I'm not sure that Condi, or even W has the guts to make that call. My assessment is that Rummy and Cheney would. Those two don't give a damn about the beltway, and are probably more versed in the BS that goes on there.
On the flip side; neither W, nor Cheney, nor Rummy will be in the game in '08. So, what the hell's the difference?
I know that I, and a lot of FReepers would not hesitate....
The CFR? Bah. Nothing but a farm-team for the Bilderberg Group. See y'all in Davos!
You know, that Marxist organization in New York, search the web.
CFR? BFD.
I suppose you disliked Brezinski and Scowcroft for the same reason.
Political opportunists peddling Marxist ideals who envision themselves as socialist administrators have no place in our republic. Don't you agree?
I guess you would never want a former Secretary of State to be President, because CFR membership seems to be quite a tradition in that role.
Post conflict with Islam?
Ok Condi, mark 2105, make that 2205, on your calendar.
Except for being African American and a woman with a good fashion sense, what are her great accomplishments in office? Near great accomplishments? Accomplishments? Accomplishment?
Well, if you don't agree, just say so. Just because the Marxist opportunists got away with it a few time does not mean they should continue to do so.
Valerie Solanis of S.C.U.M (Society for Cutting Up Men) wanted our country to fall, too. Come to think of it, all manly, post-menopausal hags (and their effeminate men) have such an attitude.

You come to a conservative forum as a voice eminating from behind a cartoon facade and talk to me about black helicopters. LMAO!
Just like they did to Ms. Thatcher?
Condi's "flimsy" resume. I'm sure you've done much more in your life. Oh yeah, she also plays the piano rather badly and has performed with Yo-Yo Ma and other amateur musicians like him on more than one occasion.

I'm sure you've done much more in your life
I went to school and learned how to read and write. Which is a good thing because otherwise I couldn't have written "accomplishments in office". Or to be more precise: how is the US better off because she has been in office? What achievement to the good of the United States is attributable to her?
How about Stephen Hadley for President? I'm not sure if he plays the piano.
Her resume is impressive and qualifies her for many positions....not including- any time in the near future- President of the United States.
Dude, put the crack pipe down and consider taking your meds.
Your nonsensical statement that Rice is a CFR minion is an insult to the collective intellect at FR.
Your post reads like DU swill.
