I think this was expected.dilloduck said:just announced on Fox
I heard Condi as well..we'll see.dilloduck said:yup--he announced it at his staff meeting but is going to let Bush make the official announcement. Any guess as to the new choice? I hear Condi would very much like it and would be a great choice IMHO.

Im sure there are alot of good choices for Sec of State that we have never heard of. im not terribly worried about it. Just as long as its not Jimmy Carter..Haha

Schwazkopf...I'd say yes/maybe.Fmr jarhead said:Yep....I think she would be a fine Sec of State....although she may be better qualified to be Sec of Def.
How about Schwazkopf as Sec of Def....if Rumsfeld decides to roll in his carpet.
I think that is the question. If Rumsfeld decides to leave (or is asked) that opens the door for Powell to go back to work in the Pentagon, andf I think he would do a much better job.
So many good candidates for Sec of State. But I think Dr Rice would be the best choice in my circle of knowledge.
Fmr jarhead said:AS Sec of State.....probably a good choice....but it would definitely put a military face on the US in global negotiations. That's why I thought it odd that Powell was offered the position, in the first place.
Do you know if there is a conflict of interest of a former staff officer becoming the Sec of Def? I could understand how a civilian with fmr military background could become a distraction at the Pentagon.....anyone know the answer, or know of any past history where a former General was nominated as Sec of Def?
(I know...kind of off topic)
Mr. P said:I don't..but I know of one former General that became President. Hummmm.
I know...just thinking recent.gop_jeff said:There have been several: Washington, Jackson, Taylor, Grant, and Eisenhower.
hylandrdet said:Interesting...Not the resignation, but the motive behind it.
You all do realize that Colin Powell's 70% job approval rating is higher than the president's 54% job approval rating. In layman's terms, the people believe in Colin Powell's judgement more than the president's. Now we can't have that, can we?
So in a political perspective, Colin goes out like Maximus in Gladiator. I just hope he posseses the courage to politically take down the "emperor" before it's too late.
P.S.- To Condi, congrats on the new job, I'm sure you'd earned it.
