This is the State Department talking - not Bush. OH you know...I have heard that bullshit since day one of the Bush Administration.
If the Bush Admin. wanted to "purge"...they could "purge" the State department.
I believe I'm correct in remembering that the Clinton admin fired all of the US Attorney's (Dept of Justice) Dept. upon their taking of office and requiring them to "reapply" for their positions.
The "State Department" et al...serves at the "pleasure" of the President, "career" employees included...

What Clinton did with the Justice Department was wrong

Keep it up the Bush administration. Keep providing protection to the mass murderer terrorist Yasser Arafat and his tyrannical regime called the Palestinian Authority. Both must go (including the Palestinian Authority regime). We must not deal with any of the people in that terror regime. Would we deal with the Taliban if Mullah Omar resigned?

Enlighten me...what is the Pendleton Act? LOL... NOW you've done gone and did it, Mo1... Easy answer to give in detail for you, I'm sure when you get around to it... short answer is that it protects way too many of govm't employees from being released easily..

What does the DOJ firing all the attorneys have to do with the State Dept. The DOS did not fire anybody - that's part of the problem. Powell and Bush are not saying the same thing - and it has been quite obvious.

One begins to think that the Saudis have told Bush that Arafat is not to be touched lest oil prices skyrocket.
At any rate, the Saudis and Arafat are immune to American and Jewish missiles.
To: yonif; Robert_Paulson2; All
you got it...
GWB must (NO EXCUSES PLEASE) maintain the moral integrity of american fopo. by excusing arafat and not OBL or Saddam and sons (or iran) he looks hypocritical. could it be the bush and powell relationship with the house of saud here? hmmm
Robert_Paulson2.... israel is quite capable of handling any war in the region, with or without missiles. if the us and/or israel were to engage in a regional conflict, it would be the us that would own all the oil.. no one is going to mess with the big dog.

Shortly before Clinton left office .. many became civil service employees .. it's my understanding that they are not easy to be fired
http://exchanges.state.gov/education/engteaching/pubs/AmLnC/br28.htm The Pendleton Act classified certain jobs, removed them from the patronage ranks, and set up a Civil Service Commission to administer a system based on merit rather than political connections. As the classified list was expanded over the years, it provided the American people with a competent and permanent government bureaucracy. In 1883 fewer than 15,000 jobs were classified; by the time McKinley became president in 1897, 86,000 -- almost half of all federal employees -- were in classified positions. Today, with the exception of a few thousand policy-level appointments, nearly all federal jobs are handled within the civil service system.

What does the DOJ firing all the attorneys have to do with the State Dept. The DOS did not fire anybody - that's part of the problem I think his point is there there are still some Clinton people in the DOS that need to be fired
I agree with him .. but I don't think that is going to happen fast enough

Powell and Bush are not saying the same thing - and it has been quite obvious. And for whom does the State Department serve...if not for the President?

Yes, Powell does serve the President, but more than once Powell has spoken out of turn and has had to change his stance - publicly. However, that doesn't mean there are not other people still within the DOS who have another agenda. Clinton just added to the bunch which were already there.
