Condaleeza Rice was hand picked by Cheney from the ranks of oil company staff because he knew she would follow his orders.

I think it is no coincidence that at the same time that Cheney took control of the Iraq war from Rumsfeld, that Israel began attacking Syria and Lebanon.

Cheney and Rove know that peacekeeping operations will be a net negative publicity-wise for at least 6 months to a year and that does not fit well with their election plans. Cheney's job is to get the army out of peacekeeping mode and back into fighting, air power, and rally 'round the flag. This will be done by getting Israel to provide the wider conflict, with Cheney "forced" to bomb Syria and invade just in time for the elections.

That is the 4 more year plan.

Rumsfeld 'not told' of postwar shake-up
Hmm,
But people close to the Pentagon said on Tuesday that Mr Rumsfeld's account appeared to be at odds with that of Ms Rice who told the New York Times that she had devised the new structure with Mr Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, the secretary of state, and Dick Cheney, the vice-president.

It will be interesting if Powell confirms that he was consulted on this, or if only the Vice-President was involved in the devising.
