26. "Accomplished" != "qualified"

Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 05:55 PM by bettys boy

Dr. Rice's expertise in Sovietology is unquestioned, but she has minimal background as an Arabist.

Her retention after 9/11 was part of a simple contention: the sheer, Reaganesque resolve that worked in bringing down the Soviets will also defeat the Jihadists.

Specific area knowledge wasn't required, or for that matter, desired. Whatever she needed to know about the Middle East she could learn on the fly.
