People always leave duing the last years of an administration.
If you knew you'd be out of work December after next, wouldn't you be looking for something else to do? If the job offer is for now you'd not pass on it and take your chances later would you?
That being said, I'm not certian she did a very good job.

The O'Neill / Suskind Bombshells
Bush, Oil & Iraq: Some Truth at Last
we have former US Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill disclosing that George Bush came into office planning to overthrow Saddam Hussein, and MSNBC polls its audience, Did O'Neill Betray Bush?
Is that really the big question? The White House had a sharper nose for the real meat of the 60 Minutes interview with O'Neill and Ron Suskind, the reporter who based much of his expose of Bush, The Price of Loyalty, on 19,000 government documents O'Neill provided him.
What bothers the White House is a National Security Council document shown in the 60 Minutes interview, clearly drafted in the early weeks of the new administration, which showed plans for post-invasion dispersal of Iraq's oil assets among the world's great powers, starting with the major oil companies...

This neocon b&*^% was supposed to go to Middle East and turn around muslims to like Bush and his policies (viz., invading and destroying a muslim country).
Today, more muslims hate Bush and America than ever before and the B*&^% got richer and leaving.
Good Riddance or CUT & RUN.

Yet ANOTHER shrub croney (and I do mean crone) jumps off the sinking uss stinkbush! Where is the loyalty among these ardent neocon scum?

"although improving the world's view of the United States is a "long-term challenge" that will outlast her." - the question that one might ask here is: WHY does the image of the United States NEED improving? If we had behaved like the fine, upstanding democracy our founding fathers intended, would our image have become damaged in the first place? Maybe her head has finally gotten sore from banging against a brick wall every day.

The last rat jumps ship. If she can sleep well at night thinking that the United States looks better in the eyes of the world now than it did 7 years ago, then God bless her.
What a piece of work. Yeah, she should be real proud of her many accomplishments. Real proud indeed.

But she's failed so markedly! Just the kind of appointee Bush loves to keep! Why is he letting her leave?

Rice accepted her resignation ". . . with the understanding that she would continue to work on several projects."
Is she really leaving or are they just moving her work underground. Her whole job has been misinformation and propaganda anyway. They probably just decided they needed a better shill.

good riddance.
love the story. starts out with condi rice saying how hughes exceeded expectations in her role to lead efforts to improve the U.S. image abroad.
then it says how all the polls show no improvement in the world's view of the U.S. since Hughes took over.
and the last thing the state dept. did before her resignation was offer immunity to blackwater without the knowledge of the justice dept. so she actually made america look worse than we already did as she's walking out the door.
what a joke.
she'll be getting her medal of freedom any day now.

I find it telling that she advised Bush and Rice two years ago that our help in ending the fight over Israel would probably do more than anything else to improve the our standing worldwide. This, after all, is the singlemost issue that the Jihadist movement hinges upon.

Can't say as I blame her. Nobody in their right mind would want to get caught in a Muslim state when Bush launches his preemptive war on Iran.
