"I kind of like that .. if he was surrounded by a bunch of yes men .. then I would be worried .."
I wouldn't call the Pentegon and the Defense Department "yes" men, but I trust them to do what is necessary for the country.

Powell on the other hand, would rather delegate until the end of the world, or until another catastrophic terrorist attack, to do anything worthwhile about Hussein.
