RE: 'Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal' hijacked US foreign policy

This is yet another case of Bush's policy chickens coming home to roost. If he had purged the bureaucracy of the State Department and CIA of partisan Clintonistas, he wouldn't have the "scandal" problems he has now. But he wanted to change the tone of Washington politics. Stupid mistake.

Even Jimmy Carter was smart enough to purge the Nixon/Ford political hacks from potentially damaging positions.
