Connecting the Condi Dots

By Patricia L Johnson

Forbes ranked her as the most powerful woman in the world in 2004 and 2005, but she fell to second place in 2006 when she was outranked by Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany...Polls taken shortly before the mid-term elections indicated she has the highest public approval and favorable opinion ratings of anyone in the Bush administration... Condoleezza Rice made history on December 17, 2000, when picked to serve as the first woman National Security Advisor.

In 1990 Rice was named special assistant to President George H.W. Bush for national security affairs. Historically, George W. Bush has relied on his fathers advisors and Condoleezza Rice is no exception. When Bush went on the presidential campaign trail in 2000, Condoleezza Rice took a one-year leave of absence from Stanford so she could work as his foreign policy advisor.

Pacific Coast Oil Company became Standard Oil Company of California which then became Chevron Corporation Texas Fuel Company later became The Texas Co. and eventually became Texaco Inc. In 2001 Texaco Inc. and Chevron Corp. merged to become ChevronTexaco and the name was subsequently changed to Chevron in 2005. In 2005 Chevron acquired Unocal and is now one of the largest oil energy companies in the world, operating in 180 countries...On January 15, 2001 Rice resigned as head of Chevron's committee on public policy, to become National Security Advisor. She had been a member of Chevron's board of directors since 1991 and obviously has more than a subtle interest in world oil affairs.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that once the Iraqi oil fields are developed Iraq will replace Saudi Arabi as number one in oil reserves.

Rice has such deep-seeded roots in the oil industry that an oil tanker Condoleezza Rice was named after her, but the name was subsequently changed to Altair Voyager due to the controversary. <6> The Altair Voyager although owned by CalPetro Tankers in the Bahama's is still operated by Chevron <7>

Senator Evan Bayh, was one of many, who opposing the nomination of Condoleezza Rice to Secretary of State stating the following at the Senate nomination hearings..."I rise to express my opposition to the nomination of Condoleezza Rice and her proposed promotion to that of the position of Secretary of State--not because I object to her personally; I do not; not because I oppose the mission of establishing freedom and democracy in Iraq; on the contrary, I support it; but because I believe she has been a principal architect of policy errors that have tragically undermined our prospects for success in this endeavor."
