Chris McGreal at The Guardian goes off message on Ms. Rice.



Here in America the left that is solid for Obama is solid for her, but CM says she is too hawkish in the wrong places (Iraq, Israel) and was not hawkish enough at the right place (Rwanda).


Odd how it’s nobody else’s fault that they did not intervene.

Russia, Germany, Sweden, Italy.

I could go on.

Nobody else’s fault.

We have to be The Indispensable Nation.

And the Brits have to be Tonto.

Or Poncho.

Or is it Sancho Panza?

Well, she’s out, now.

CM might be happier with John Kerry, but that's a reliable senate seat put at risk.

Remember what happened to Ted Kennedy's seat?

And how does CM feel about Chuck Hagel?

CH voted for the invasion of Iraq but got cold feet and voted for a resolution demanding withdrawal in 120 days.

Thereafter he was a critic of the Bush foreign policy.

He is said to be critical of Israel and is not a man to make neocons happy, but I have no idea what he thought or today thinks about Rwanda.

He is said to be a bit hawkish on Iran.
