**Though Powell remained one of the most admired figures in America, it was not enough to immunize him against attacks.**
Admired by whom? No one I know. Somebody PLEASE tell him to SHUT UP! He's really getting on my nerves.
Several years ago, many here wanted Powell to run for Prez.
Ditto!
I never did trust him .. and he has proven to be the disloyal person I thought he would be.
His participation in the hatchet job on Bush was just over the top. He knew it was Armitage in the Plamegate thingy and HE DID NOTHING. I guess it was payback to Bush for not listening to Powell.
