Condi Rice -- our new Secretary of State
Great move - President Bush has asked Condoleezza Rice to replace Colin Powell as Secretary of State.
She is very much the right person for this job.
ABC
has the story:

Condoleezza Rice to Be Named Secretary of State
National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, one of President Bush's closest counselors, will be nominated to replace Colin Powell as secretary of state, ABC News has learned.
bq. Senior administration sources confirmed that Rice would be Bush's choice. The news comes just hours after the White House announced Powell had submitted his resignation.
bq. Rice has served as national security adviser since Bush first took office. The new post comes as a sort of birthday present for Rice, who turned 50 on Sunday.
The icing on the cake is the fact that Middle Eastern men don't like dealing with women when they are negotiating. This should be fun!!!
