| Colin Powell and Susan Rice, with a South Sudanese official |
Asserts the center-rightist, about Susan Rice's troubled possible bid as USA's top diplomat: "To Obama’s credit, he has defended and supported Rice in this
difficult time, but in the end he’ll have to dump her. The Republicans
will neither forget nor forgive what Rice said on
Face the Nation [regarding the Benghazi scandal]. They will use her statements to discredit the President and his foreign policy. The President needs to move on to a more likely candidate for Secretary of State."
More: "It must be a
person of high character, respected both abroad and at home, and a
person who can reach across the corridors of power worldwide and the
political aisles of Congress at home. Recalling Colin Powell from retirement would be a statesman-like decision to fill this vital post."
