Scott, There has always been complaints from the right that the State Department is just a bunch of leftists, even under Reagan, so I would not read too much into it. My feeling is, and it is just a WAG, that Condi Rice has Bush's ear more than Powell. Powel I think will have some leeway to be a free agent, as long as he is doing good things that don't interfere with the administration agenda, but I think the agenda will be set by Cheyney, Rice and Bush. Again, this is just a WAG, that may be proven wrong. I would really like to know what Cheyney and Rice think about Powell's plan to dismantle most of the sanctions. Anyway, I have to admit that I am bit behind in reading political news during the last couple of weeks. Joe PS: Here we go again: worldtribune.com Pentagon sources said the heightened tension in the Middle East prompted a decision to place on alert U.S. forces in Germany and Italy. They said Washington has been concerned about an Iraqi attack on Israel amid reports that several Iraqi divisions have moved close to the Syrian border.
