Tony Snow is new White House Secretary
FOX News (former) anchor Tony Snow will be the new White House Press Secretary, the White house announced the other day. Snow, who was a speechwriter for President George H.W. Bush, will replace current Press Secretary Scott McClellan. McClellan replaced Ari Fleischer as Press Secretary about 2 years ago.
Some political analysts have said that Snow will be "more open" with the press than McClellan was. One analyst, who's name I can't recall, said that Snow will do a better job "handling" NBC's White House Correspondent, who presses McClellan, or whoever the Press Secretary may be, to be clearer with his answers & not 'dance' around the questions.
Some soldiers could care less about Rummy & Rice's "Suprise" visits to Iraq
Some U.S. soldiers currently serving in Iraq said they really didn't care whether or not Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld & State Secretary Condie Rice came and visited Iraq for their suprise tours.
In fact, many troops don't get to see, or even don't know about, the VIP's when they visit. Most soldiers are simply too busy doing their job to praise Rummy & Rice when they come to Iraq on their 'trips'. One unidentified soldier, on his second tour, said that if he got the opportunity to see Rumsfeld, he'd "...ask him for a plane ticket home to see my wife. I have barely seen her in the last two years."
