It's been expected for some time. David Halberstam basically documented in his book how he clashed all the time with Cheney and Rumselfeld wing of the White House. Plus he's made it known that he felt like he got hung out to dry by bogus intelligence that he was fed which he subsequently cited as proof of WMDs at the United Nations.

No surprise there.

Like most businesses, the dirtbags take the most respectable stand up guy and run him out of the place. What a shame. Rumsfeld is such an embarassment and he has no intentions of going anywhere.

Powell was the #1 asset for the admin, but he has honor and he knew of and seen the lies. He has an inner strength that will allow him to walk away from this admin as a man of honor. Featured speaker at the 2000 Rep convention and a no show in 2004. He is ashamed of the lies about WMD's. He is ashamed of this leader we have. It is a further showing of the divide in this country. Atleast 4 cab members so far have resigned today. Powell only hung on this long because of the loyalty he was taught in military, but now, he can bare it no longer.

Lets be honest though, few guys in that position ever last more than a term because of the high amount of work required. The position requires overseeing a vast empire and travelling the world for often thankless situations. What if your boss sent you off to the other side of the world to talk with people that the company really has no interest in? When they send in the Sec of State that is often a sign that it is for a duty the President doesn't want to waste his time on, but has to show a face to "protect interests" worldwide.

let's hope his moron son is next.


this guy has made the FCC a 100% disgrace and he has helped turn this country in Communist Russia.

As I have said about this country, the way things are now, come 2008 the ONLY difference between the USA and Nazi Germany is Jews won't be sent to the Gas Chamber - maybe.
