Falling on His Sword -- good article from the WP

[JoMama49]

(Snip) ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2004, eight days after the president he served was elected to a second term, Secretary of State Colin Powell received a telephone call from the White House at his State Department office. The caller was not President Bush but Chief of Staff Andrew Card, and he got right to the point.

"The president would like to make a change," Card said, using a time-honored formulation that avoided the words "resign" or "fire." He noted briskly that there had been some discussion of having Powell remain until after Iraqi elections scheduled for the end of January, but that the president had decided to take care of all Cabinet changes sooner rather than later. Bush wanted Powell's resignation letter dated two days hence, on Friday, November 12, Card said, although the White House expected him to stay at the State Department until his successor was confirmed by the Senate.

1. for anyone who feels sorry for this bastard--just remember that

he was one of those instrumental in attempting to cover-up MyLai. He has NEVER been honourable, has been a sell-out from the beginning.

3. say it, niyad. Not many are aware of his involvement in MyLai coverup.

Powell is NOT the honorable man that so many think he is.

2. all things considered,

maybe the Cheney shadow government selected good soldier CP just for the purpose of setting up the Iraq adventure?
