Condoleezza Rice Influence Impact In Bush Administration Term Paper

Condoleezza Rice's current job title is Secretary to the President on National Security Affairs. This job is alternatively called "National Security Advisor." She was appointed to this position by President George W. Bush after his inauguration in January 2000. This appointment was historic. This is the first time a woman and an African-American has a position of national importance. (Wade, 2003) The 48-year-old Dr. Rice brings to the position impeccable credentials. She is a brilliant tactician and considered a genius in foreign affairs and matters of National Security. In 1989, she was director of Soviet and East European affairs with the National Security Council. She also was appointed special assistant President George Bush (Sr.) for national security affairs.

During war times, where America is not only the aggressor (justifiably) but also has to defend itself from incidents of terrorism, the National Security Advisor's job comes to the fore. At this Condoleezza Rice has shown.

On the heels of the Powell doctrine -- which brought so much success during the Gulf War of 1991 (namely conduct war with force overwhelmingly more than the enemy (Procter, 2003), in order to end the war and casualties quickly) comes the Bush doctrine which means…

Commission Report There's a substantial gap between the notions presented by the 9/11 Commission on inadequate imagination and its suggested solutions. It's unlikely that the primary modifications can help create analytical solutions in a limited amount of time.
