Nov. 15, 2004 — National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice will be nominated to replace Colin Powell as secretary of state, ABC News has learned.
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.
Rice, considered to be one of the president's closest counselors, has served as national security adviser since Bush first took office.
Alia: This is a solidly good and strategic move. NSAdviser get to see a very big picture as well as into our own Intel Ops. With the new CIA Chief cleaning house, Condi can work with Mr. Goss in synch, and finally, prayerfully... cleanup the mess at State Department.

I'm just worried that the Lefti-Crats that run the big news agencies won't spin all of these resignations into a criticism of the direction of our government.
I've already heard talk that Powell resigned because he couldn't stomach going face-to-face with Iran over their policies (a lie).
