We need to ask Condi Rice some tough questions

Months before the 2003 invasion, the early rising, bipartisan coffee group at the Cobblestone Cafe flagged the pending Iraq operation with blunt, tough questions -- of a sort that should have been asked inside the White House.

Would our allies come on board, or would U.S. soldiers bear the brunt of the fighting and dying? Did we have a clear objective in this pending war, and adequate forces to achieve that goal? Would we have an exit strategy? How long might we end up occupying Iraq and at what cost? Would U.S. forces be caught in the middle of the religious and ethnic feuds of a splintered country?

The Cobblestone crew had confidence in just one senior Bush administration official, Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Nowadays, 19 months into the war, they're deeply worried to see Powell go. The concern is compounded at the designation of National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice as the State Department's new boss.
