Six Pages of discussion on Powell:
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms. ... 708&page=0I actually liked Powell, and thought he did a great job considering he didn't quite agree with the Hawks in office. He dissented, got heavily reprimanded, and remained humble. I wish that he would've spoken more earnestly about his opposition to Bush Foreign Policy, but I suspect he was under pretty heavy handed orders not to; he is a soldier, trained to follow commands.
Condi Rice is a Loyal Bushist, and he has no fear of dissent from her. Seems like a typical Bush ploy. He has made an effective bloodless coup to take control of America, now he has it for four years, unless something changes. Uhhh...now what? We're fucked, so is a whole lotta the rest of the world. Poor ignorant American Sheep. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.
