One of the biggest disappointments of Bush’s second term has been the performance of Condoleezza Rice since moving to Foggy Bottom. The State Department is in desperate need of reform, and I had hoped that Rice would be the one to do it. Alas, it seemed instead that she went native.
In the cover story for the next Weekly Standard, Stephen Hayes writes that we don’t know the half of it. Hayes reports that Rice was central to the fall of the Bush doctrine, and also that she opposed the surge, which is easily the most important success of Bush’s second term. The article is unsummarizable, so I’ll leave you to read it. (Via Power Line.)
