Okay, we need a much stronger State Department [View All]

I was just listening to Lawrence O'Donnell and he referred to the point of the State Department being under attack by Defense and National Security Counsil. That is true, especially of Republicans.

When you think of the Clinton Machine, the media power, etc etc - I actually can't think of a better operation to go into State if your goal is to INCREASE the power of the State Department so that it is at least as strong as the DoD, CIA, NSC and the rest of the operations in DC. Maybe the signal we should take away from this is that Obama is going to have a diplomatic State Department stronger than anything we have seen, at least in recent memory.

What do you think.

Oh, and save the anti-Hillary snark because I don't like the Clintons AT ALL. But I can see the benefit of strengthening state and I do think they might well be the exact people to do it.
