Powell left the administration in the second term.
What did you want done-- have him shot on the front lawn?
LOL! I never liked him anyway - and for some reason, I always thought of him as the backstabber type, a sort of passive-aggressive personality. As you say, W did get rid of him, however, and I hope Powell's punishment now is that this all becomes public knowledge. Which it won't, of course, if the MSM has anything to say about it.
with this now coming to light, did Powell leave or was he shown the door along with his right hand man?
Of course not.
In the Rose Garden would have been nice.
No, hanged.
