Condi Rice is useless (continued)
With perhaps the most significant negotiations on the US agenda being managed by Dick Cheney right now (isn't that a scary phrase,) once again, I gotta ask, where is Condi Rice?
Condi Rice isn't even tasked to talk to our "friends." Instead, she's been tasked with an Israeli-Palestine conversation that's not supposed to produce results.
US Vice President Dick Cheney heads to Saudi Arabia Saturday to seek its aid in Iraq, two months after close US ally King Abdullah slammed the "illegitimate foreign occupation" of that war-torn land.....
Over the weekend, Cheney was also to visit Egypt and Jordan to wrap up a week-long Middle East visit aimed at getting Washington's friends to help pull Iraq's minority Sunni Muslims into the country's fragile political process.

I just had a flashback to 2000 when Cheney was, at the time, charged with leading Bush's VP selection team. I remember how odd it was that the best man Cheney could find was Cheney.
Other's have mentioned it, but this post just sort of made it click for me. The past 8 years have been the Cheney administration. Behind every mad path, behind every failed "strategy," it has been Dick pushing the action in the face of contradicting reason. I guess this makes Rove the real VP.

Oh exactly. That's the reason Cheney has to do this, because, maybe Rice might reflect Bush's thinking, but there's always the likelihood that Cheney will change that thinking.
(I would say Rice is the VP. She makes appearances.)
