-Caveat Lector- Now we see him - big stuffed shirt, talks like parrot - attempted to outstage Bush when he accepted his new position - and now he is making polcies on his own? Always thought the President made the policies - evidently like a Kissinger, Colin Powell tries to step into shoes of the masters? Ever see that movie The Servant? This was coming for Powell is well trained and windbag.......maybe Bush should send him out like a Uriah to make peace in Holy Land - visit Afganistan maybe or Palestine? See how other half lives? Now we will see who is Commander in Chief.....I stil wonder how that guy got on Joint Chief of Staff? Saba For the story behind the story... Sunday, March 4, 2001 Rumsfeld Last to Know About Powell Europe Policy Already the rift between Secretary of State Colin Powell and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is beginning to become apparent. Last month, when Colin Powell announced that the U.S. would support plans for an integrated European military, he did so without consulting with Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld was said to be fuming about the major policy move by Powell and Condoleezza Rice, the president's National Security Adviser. National Security insiders tell NewsMax.com that the diagreement over a European army suggests a growing division in the Bush administration between Powell and Rice on one hand, and Vice President Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld on the other. Rumsfeld has argued that any movement toward an independent European military force could undermine NATO and should be opposed. The French, who are not part of NATO, have been the most significant advocates of the European force. In early February, Rumsfeld attended a Munich conference with other NATO national defense ministers. At the conference he cleverly stated the Europeans were free to create their own military, but that they should expect no support or logistical help from NATO. The "decoupling" of Europe from the United States has been a long-held policy of Russia and socialists across Europe. The creation of the military force has been viewed as key to achieving that goal. Powell's comments in support of the European military force without reservation were considered too enthusiastic even for the Bush White House, sources say. When President Bush met with British Prime Minister Tony Blair last month, he was asked about the administration's view of such a force. Bush couched his response by saying such a force would be a positive development as long as it helped to strengthen NATO.
