Nightmare at Foggy Bottom: Arabists panicked at prospect of Rice's appointments
Colin Powell has long operated on the principle, "Don't rock the boat." But Powell will soon be gone, to be replaced by National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Foggy Bottom is scared. Nowhere is the fear more palpable than in the department's Near East Bureau.
"Don't rock the boat"? Now there's leadership. It's time for State to be rocked, and that includes drumming out the Arabists (which is usually a code word for anti-Semite). You go girl!
Couple Condi's apparent boat rocking with Porter Goss over at the CIA, and we may actually see some real change in these outdated, bureaucratic, slothful agencies.
