Rice has at least been consistent on that point. When we first invaded and occupied Iraq she stated that it would be a "generational" involvement on the part of America. In doing so she used words creating the impression that the Iraqis would be our "children" for many decades. That message sent chills down my spine. I am an optimist. I know George W. Bush does not have a clue about foreign policy. He didn't know who was in charge in Pakistan when he was running President back in 2000. I seriously doubt that he has done that much reading since 2004 to get up to speed. Whereas Karl Rove is his brain in politics, Rice has been his brain in foreign policy. Everything Bush knows about foreign policy has been taught to by Rice. Cheney and the WHIQ cabal kept Colin Powell out of the loop and hi-jacked American Foreign policy. IMO rice had a hand in this, but was not in the Cheney inner circle. She was (I hope) just being opportunistic. If Karl Rove gets sidelined because of the CIA leak case, there will be a vacuume that Rice has to fill. Worst case, things can not be worse than they have been - policywise. Things can only get better. I am an optimist.
