How far will the neo-cons let Condi get?

Mr. President,
Condi must be doing something right. I can tell because Rummy is trying to cut her legs from under her, just like he did with Colin Powell when he was Secretary of State.

When you look back at the reason for your spectacular failure as president, your father's words will come to haunt you. He warned you about Cheney and his neo-cons, but you didn't listen. You began to believe your own press and ignored him. It was perhaps the biggest mistake of your life, which eventually led to a string of other disastrous mistakes. Powell tried to warn you too.

Powell tried to keep you on an even keel but the "neo con twins." Rummy and Cheney effectively undermined his efforts and kept his credibility from becoming a factor. Powell was a good soldier and stuck it out until he finally understood you were so entrenched with neo-con twin's vision of foreign policy he finally resigned. Powell failed because he could not get your 'ear.'

Condi stepped in knowing what she was up against; her agency has been effectively neutered by the "twins." Then Rummy began to assume more and more State Department-functions like establishing foreign policy initiatives.

You allowed Cheney and Rummy to make foreign policy decisions while Condi takes the heat from her foreign counterparts.

Condi's role was reduced to reorganize what was left of the State Department after Rummy took what they wanted. Condi's job was to take a lot of trips and look pretty for the cameras. She met with foreign leaders who knew she was powerless to follow up on anything.

The cheerleaders within your bubble keep egging you on. But, something must have seeped in, perhaps it was the constant drumbeat of big ugly chickens coming home to roost over your self-imposed alternative reality.
    Suddenly, you decided to ignore Cheney's malignant view of foreign policy and chose to listen to Condi on Iran. Her message about Iran was bad news. Iran was winning. The strong alliance Iran developed with Russia and China, was sufficient to block any E.U. or U.S. attempt to implement any successful U.N. sanctions.

    With your approval, Condi made some major headway in the last few weeks, and she finally convinced you to hold direct talks with Iran.

    As long as Iran believes Condi has your ear she may be able to broker a deal with Iran.

    The closer she gets, the more Cheney and Rummy will increase their efforts to curtail any success Condi may achieve.

    This weekend Rummy is in the Pacific Southeast pandering to China as he tries to get China withdraw their support for Iran. Good luck with that rummy. If they don't get oil from Iran what does Rummy propose China use to fuel it's growing manufacturing sector, bullshit?

    On Sunday, Rummy started trashing Condi's work. Cheney recently did something similar with some inflammatory remarks about Russia which may have marked the beginning of a second cold war.

    Rummy called Iran "one of the leading terrorist nations in the world."

    He also took a shot at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a regional organization that includes Russia China and other Central Asian countries, because they invited Iran to join them and kept the United States out.

    Rummy said, "It strikes me as passing strange that one would want to bring into an organization that says it is against terrorism, one of the leading terrorist nations in the world: Iran."

    So begins the suppression of Condi's efforts to produce an equitable solution with Iran.

    Nothing will get in Cheney's way as he continues his pursuit of the neo-con's dream; to establishment and maintain the United States as the world's lone imperial superpower thru superior and overwhelming military power.

    Cheney believes military intervention is the answer to any problem when money alone cannot assure cooperation.

    Do yourself a favor junior make your next cabinet appointment a new Vice-president. Dump Mr "Locked and seriously loaded," before its too late if it isn't already.

    If Rummy loses his pal, he might resign as well.
