The legislature has no room for criticism of the President for appointing Ambassador Rice to the National Security Advisor. If the legislature is this pathetic about confirmation of very qualified nominees they have no room to criticize anything the President does within his Executive power.

Ambassador Rice does have a more aggressive posture in the United Nations than one might expect.

In a welcome move (click here) on May 29, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice called on the Ugandan/African Union mission against the Lord’s Resistance Army to restart operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  In remarks at a U.N. Security Council briefing by Abou Moussa, Special Representative to the Secretary General of the U.N. Regional Office for Central Africa , or UNOCA, Rice implored the U.N. to take more action to prevent the LRA from setting up safe havens in the Democratic Republic of Congo....

...This is a particularly welcome statement, as new information has surfaced that the LRA has moved groups of fighters into the Congo in recent weeks.  This must not become a safe haven for Kony’s dangerous fighters.
