Others are more cautious about policy shifts with the hawkish Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney in place.

"Voldemort is still there," a senior foreign service officer said, using the name of the villain in the Harry Potter series to make a wry reference to the defense secretary.

The official, predicting battles to come, said, "There still has to be a reckoning on all kinds of issues, from Iraq to Afghanistan to Uzbekistan to Guantanamo." Like other career employees, he discussed his views of Rice and other Cabinet officers only on condition of anonymity.

1. Bush only advanced his worldwide democracy after his WMD lies

came to light! I can't believe what is happening in this country. So if we can't spread democracy diplomatically, we'll just bomb the hell out of all of those nations that refuse to be democracies. Be gone with them!




The secretary said she sees her job as advancing Bush's policy of promoting democracy worldwide.

That policy "is the only agenda that answers the question of what do we do in response to what happened to us on September 11," she said. "So to the degree that I have imported that philosophy with me to the State Department - absolutely. Guilty."

8. I love how they pretend that Rice has different views than Rummy/Cheney

and its kind of ironic to be using cutesy names for Rummy when you yourself are working for the Queen of the Damned.
