More Gloomy News From State
From Powerline, more discouraging news on Condi Rice's state department. Observing that the new US ambassador to Israel, Richard Jones, is an old school arabist, Paul Mirengoff comments:
The same folks who brought us the tragic sham of "Oslo" are now pushing what is effectively a pro-Hamas policy in Gaza. On the not insignificant issue of Israel, Condoleezza Rice seems to be Colin Powell with clout. On the broader issue of terrorism, Rice appears to be the force behind a mid-course "correction." Instead of winning Arab hearts and minds by promoting the spread of democracy, we now hope to win them through something that looks more like appeasement.
Paul references an article by Diana West in which she wonders if GWB is really on top of things. (She wonders why a novice has just been appointed to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency--a novice who just happens to be the niece of outgoing Joint Chiefs chairman Richard Myers.)
I'm wondering too, and worried. Does Bush really know the difference in views between Paul Wolfowitz and, say, Brent Scowcroft?
