Well, Rick, I'll keep it going... maybe.

I have mixed feelings on Powell. Yes, he is infinately smarter that the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld side of the family, as is Cindi Rice, but he has kinda "prosituted" kimself.

But I will give him credit for confronting Bush forcefully in the early days of the huff-n-puff stuff that was going on and IO'm sure that the US would never had gone to the Un if it weren't for Powell. Problem is, if he's so smart, how come he seems to have *bought into* the attack. Especially since he knows full well that it isn't about national security unless a steady supply of cheap oil is part og the national security package.

Yeah, I'd like to see him quit and declare himself a candidate for the presidency and hear what he really thinks. I can't think of any reason I'd vote for the guy but I'd at least like to hear something comeout of his mouth other tahn well articulated *lies* and *half truths*.

There, Rick, that might get ol' Teribus to come around and post on ot T's classic "Tropic of Cancedr" lenght posts. Hope T doesn't give me a big homework assignment....
