I have respect for Colin Powell. He has on several occasions gone against the administrations positions in the past two years.

As a former soldier and a man far more knowledgeable about the situation than we are, he has taken a position against Saddam and refuses to be manipulated by the outside pressures.

Just because he is against Saddam doesn't mean he's anyone's puppet as most of you have stated. There are many people (as I do) who support Powell and our leaders in this difficult time.
