Powell just spent what little political capital he had left.

Sadly, he lost me after being simply a political hack with his
nearly substance-free presentation before the United Nations
before we rolled into Iraq.

Don't paint me as anti-war. Saddam was like an ugly wound that
needed lanced OR walled off.
Where I'm going is how disappointed I was when Powell later said
he basically didn't believe in what he said during that presentation.

If he'd simply said "We don't have the goods on Saddam. And I'm
now resigning as Sec. of State." I'd have some level of respect
for him.

Now Powell has totally "Jumped The Shark" like Fonzi.
It's a disgraceful to a fairly good career.

How would you like to have this kind of "general" (small g intended), lead you into battle? Powell IS a disgrace! He sold his country AND his party out for his race.
