But the new "GQ" article whines that Powell is shut out and that the administration is not heeding the wiser advice of the sage State Department.

Sounds to me like Bush knows of the rot over there and has put a good soldier at the top to keep it marginally in line. Maybe Powell is sick and tired of that job, but don't all good soldiers bitch and bellyache too?

When will Powell fire all the left-over demoncrapts in the State Department???????????? He would have a much better time controling the establishment if he had loyal workers.
