Colin Powell is not an Agamemmnon. He is rather more like Robert E. Lee. He will choose his time and place and with efficient and effective use of both minimize casualties and deal death to the enemy. No truely honorable soldier who has seen war wants to unnecessarily put their troops in harm's way . I could think of hundreds of 'Generals' that I would rather desert from than be used as cannon fodder. Powell's greatness lies perhaps in his statesmanship rather than his generalship. Time will tell but, all things considered he was a pretty good one to serve under.
