It's the civilians in Iraq and our troops in Iraq that I'm concerned with. Also, the great potential for another invasion of yet another country and more and more war.

I'm also concerned for our environment with regulations being gutted like no other administration has done before.

I'm also concerned for our economy with ill-advised tax cuts being hailed as the greatest achievement since Roosevelt's New Deal.

War is hell.

Anyone whoever tried to say that war is easy, war is cheap is sadly and grossly mistaken.

Here is a Link that puts war into perspective.

If we are truly to have another world war, here are the minimum deaths we should expect to face.

Not quite. I may, though, to those unwilling to accept the truth and accept they've been wrong in their judgment of a failed President.

I accepted the fact that I was wrongly supporting the President. I was man enough to admit I was wrong once I discovered what was not being told to the American public by this administration.

Too bad many others aren't as willing to accept the challenge to their own opinions.

Conjur I am curious as to whom you would have "approved" of in such a capacity?? I know on the afternoon talk show (Jay Severin) he mentioned that someone had the gall to suggest William Jefferson Clinton for said slot...now that made me laugh.

But all kidding aside, who would you suggest? who would you not have found fault with?...personally I can understand Bush's motives for going with Dr. Rice and I can also understand why he wouldn't want to pander to the wishes of the left by putting someone seen as more moderate in said position, it is all about loyalty....

anxiously awaiting your response.

Bush said he would "reach out", eh?

Sen. Biden or Gen. Clark would have each made an excellent Sec'y of State. Biden's experience on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee would make him a shoe-in. His moderate views and straight-shooting mentality would appeal to conservatives, too. I've long respected him. I consider him about an equal to John McCain. Well, McCain before he entered full-bore Bush-whore mode for the campaign.

Other options?

Danforth may be good in that position but I'm unsure of how much he may lean toward being an Evangelical, which wouldn't be a good idea to send out as our Sec'y of State.

Hell, bring back Scowcroft or Baker. I know they're getting up in age but either would be a far cry better than Rice.

Hell, my left nut would be a better Sec'y of State than Rice!

Joe Biden? Who's foreign policy views would he plagarize?

C-mon Conjur, get real...since when does "reaching out" automatically equate with his selecting a DEMOCRAT...I am all for his making a more appropriate choice than Dr. Rice, but I can understand and sympahtize with his desire not to pick someone in such a critical role from the party that tried to paint him as an ignorant hick for the past four years and counting, especially NOT Clark who went for the chance to run against him.

Now Danfourth I might agree with...however Scowcroft wouldn't even be a consideration since he has already been on the record as vehemently disagreeing with our position in Iraq....so that is about on par with a snowballs chance in hell....

and I am not overly familiar with Baker...so I cannot comment.
