Zoellick and Rice worked for Mr Bush's father, former President Bush
US President George Bush has chosen Trade Representative Robert Zoellick to be Condoleezza Rice's deputy at the State Department.
The two "will form a really great, capable foreign policy team", Mr Bush said as he made the announcement.

Ms Rice is expected to be confirmed by the Senate to succeed Colin Powell as the top US diplomat after a confirmation hearing on 18 January.

Mr Zoellick's appointment will also have to be approved by the Senate.

He will replace the current Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Armitage, who stood down when Mr Powell announced his resignation.

BUT STILL no replacement for the disastrous horse whisperer William Stamps Farish III, booted out of the London embassy in July last year...
