Some conservatives are not happy about Condoleeza Rice's performance thus far as Secretary of State, with a few calling her "incompetent" on Mideast matters.

I'd like to know what she thinks she is going to accomplish by going back to the Mideast this weekend. She should stay the heck out of there, let Israel kill as many Hezbollah terrorists as it can, and return only when there is a chance for a meaningful and lasting cease-fire. That time is not now.

Update: Rice is being a little more ambiguous now about the timeline for her return to the Middle East. Good. Perhaps she's thought it out and determined that now is not the best time to travel back there, and potentially cause an undesirable distraction, while Israel is dispatching more and more Hezbollah terrorists every day.

Another update: Rice is going back tomorrow. The angst rises again.
