Eliot Cohen Tapped to Council Rice
Huh. I totally missed this last month. Seems to have been spun two opposite ways. Folks who fear that the the Bush Administration is trying to re-run the Iraq War engine to provoke war with Iran see it as a move to install a neocon ally in DoS to keep those diplomats in line. Others, however, see it as a possible move by Rice to preempt neocon attacks as she begins to engage regimes like Syria and Iran to disengage the US from Iraq.
Interesting tidbit to keep track of, though I don’t like to get too mired in the DC games of who’s up and who’s down.
