This is news to me:
As she prepares to leave her job at the end of the year, Ms. Rice, the president’s national security adviser, now finds herself at the center of a political storm, furiously defending both the White House and her own reputation.
I’ve heard rumors of Secretary of State Powell quitting at the end of the term, but not Rice. If true, this a strange way to report this tidbit–buried in an article.
Looks like our “steady leadership” is becoming increasingly fluid.
Greetings,
This came as a shock to me as well. It was well publicized last summer that if any member of “Team Bush” wanted to leave and nt serve a second term, they were to resign last summer. This is indeed a HIGHLY unusual development. I am more than a little curious to see how this turns out.

And supposing Bush is re-elected, who do you think he would task for the job? Certainly not John McCain….
