Condolezza Rice doubtless is a very smart person, and probably fit well into academia. However, her testimony before the 9/11 commission indicates her utter incompetence in her present position. Far from being a "mover and shaker," she seemed to view her job as sitting back and waiting for people to give her information and ideas. And once received, she didn't seem to know what to do with the information and ideas. If Bush is re-elected, will we have four more years of her, or will she have the grace to resign?
She is only the puppet of the Dictator Bush and only waiting for G. bush orders. About her conscience when she obeys bush, she acts as she has no conscience at all

I think Condolezza Rice realized she made a serious mistake by excepting a ticket on the Titantic. Some where during the voyage she saw how reckless and incompetent Captains Dick and Bush truly were. It was very obvious to her that they were bound for doom. She tried to warn the captains, but they were to busy counting their ENRON and HaliBurton kickbacks. Realizing this she started looking for a life preserve and planned to ride the ship down. If she was lucky she would be able to save her political life.
She is far from incompetent or way over her head. I think she just want out of a bad situations. From what I have read and saw on the news...Bush has not and does not take heed to her advice....like not going to war. Now she has to answer for his error...the ones she adviced him against. If she is smart she will distance herself far from the BUSHDICKS

What Gregory Arnold noticed I have experienced often among persons with the PhD. Whoever excells at studying is very good in the academic field and should stay there. My personal experience in two cases is that too much studying retards intuition. Missing practical experience leads to errors sometimes serious ones in practice.
Isn't it curious that Condolezzas graduate thesis doesn't appear anywhere?
On the 16th of May Condolezza Rice was interviewed by a german reporter (Sabine Christiansen). Condolezza said that Iraq would become sovereign after June this year. When foreign troops are occupying a country is this a new kind of sovereignty?
The basic problem is that the Bush administration injcluding Condolezza seems to want to spread democracy. Doesn't democracy requires a certain educational level of ist constituents? And worst of all did anyone ask Iraq or their peoples if it would like to have a democracy?
