I'M NOT REALLY UPSET BY THIS.

From Ramesh Ponnuru's attack on Colin Powel in NRO:

But Powell has been out of step with Bush at least as often as he has agreed with him. He insisted that America had no intention of toppling the Taliban even after the administration had plainly adopted that goal. He’s been a missile-defense skeptic. His deputy, Richard Armitage, has been more indiscreet. Last year, Armitage slammed supporters of war in Iraq, presumably including the president, as chicken hawks. In February of this year, he told the Senate that bilateral talks with North Korea were a good idea. (President Bush was “off-the-wall angry” about Armitage’s testimony, according to the New York Times.) Armitage has also described Iran as a democracy — this, more than a year after Bush called it part of an “axis of evil.”

Right. Prez says "jump, you bureaucrats," and you're supposed to say, "how high?" Not, "but there may be a cliff there, George." Link from the TAPPED piece on the recent "attack the State Department" line, which is worth reading.
