...Some European analysts take heart from the idea that while Colin Powell, whom many had regarded as a kindred spirit, had been a marginal figure in the Bush administration, Dr. Rice is widely known to have the President's ear and to speak for him. President Bush's trust and confidence in Rice give her a certain authority to speak on his behalf, in contrast to Powell whose authority was undermined in his first month on the job when President Bush publicly repudiated positions he'd articulated on North Korea. Rice's privileged relationship with the White House means that...
...world by unilaterally implementing his policies on Iraq and other global issues, with alarming consequences. At some future time, Americans will wake up to a cold, even hostile world, and no amount of spin from a political strategist like Karl Rove will be able to explain it away.

Bush Administration really wanted to prove to the world - as we keep hearing it does - that the arrogance of the last four years is over, there is no better...
...exists, but the same cannot be said of the Bush Administration. It is hard to take seriously the criticism of the U.N. Security Council's actions regarding Iraq. Considering the comically incorrect material about Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction that was presented to the U.N. by Colin Powell, an apology seems more appropriate. The Bush Administration does not help U.S. credibility by stubbornly insisting there was a link between al-Qaeda and Saddam despite its inability to produce the slightest proof of this unlikely alliance. Surely, reality still counts. Perhaps it's time for U.S. conservatives to examine...
