(I guess if it's an all-or-nothing package deal we'll have to let CP go too. No great loss. He's been stepped on so many times he's got "WELCOME" printed on his back.)

Why is it that all of you that are of liberal influence are convinced that Powell is going anywhere?


The only time he left was when he could not stand working with the sorry excuse for a man Clinton.

Sam Justafan for Secretary of Defense!!!!!!!!!!

Could have been the Washington Post article in August of 2003 where officials and a Powell aide said that Powell had reaffirmed his decision to leave if Bush were to win a second term...

I wouldn't vote for him... I liked him post-9/11 but his behaviour since has been reprehensible... it cumulated a couple of weeks ago when he said that if the explosives were missing in Iraq, it would have been the fault of the soldiers on the ground, not the administration.

We'll have to wait and see what his reasoning is. He out and out said he did not like working under Clinton.

Yep. Too bad. Powell's influence made for a good balance within the cabinet. Condi better get the position. She's the only senior cabinet member that I trust to have that job.

I think it's been painfully obvious in interviews that he's at odds with this administration...

Specific examples please.

Hopefully he will take his son with him!

Even though, when asked directly by Katie Kouric if he would accept a position in the cabinet offered to him by W, he said no, I think it might happen. I would love to see this, as I believe Giuliani is perfect for a job like this.

I don't see Guiliani going back to public service anytime soon. Between his consuilting business and going all over the country making speeches, he's earning millions. He won't give that up.

Maybe you should check the news... and what stuns me is that if Powell is such a strong man, with a great moral compass, how did he go before the UN and lie his butt off? (And before you say, 'it was faulty intel', blah, blah, blah... he had to have known. and he said nothing.)

Unfortunately, that would mean his son would actually have to work for a living...

and with the chucklehead approach to admin he displayed in the aftermath of the SuperBowl... do you want him running anything more complex than a lemonade stand down on the corner where Mom and Dad can watch him closely to keep him from getting into trouble?

Well, it looks like he couldn't work for with the sorry excuse for a man Bush either.

Any number of interviews with staffers on background that specifically state his differences with the administration... this is hardly news. If you were a little more well-read you would have known it was coming...

You shouldn't pick on Troy just cause he can't read!
