Powell may be worthless as Secretary of State as you say, but I disagree that he's a fool. He's gotta be working for someone. Question is "who?"

The answer is himself! He is utterly gutless when confronted. Take the Gulf War. Our forces crushed the Iraqi army fleeing! We were just miles outside of Bagdad! The Kurds were ready to assault from the north and we would have had Saddam found and destroyed in a month. It was Powell that said, no theres been enough killing, and let the enemy live so he could kill 7000 of US citizens! This man is a moron! Swartzkopt knew about war and that it had to be total. Thanks to Powell the guy is still alive! and thanks to Clinton, he has enough bio-terrorism weapons to whipout half the world. POWELL NEEDS TO BE FIRED!!!

"POWELL NEEDS TO BE FIRED!!!"

he should never been considered for the job, he's a socialist, a pacifist, firmly believes in the UN, and for that matter should never have risen to where he was in the army. He would be much more suited for the communist party.

I agree. When Powell would not come out for Bush during the re-count fiasco, he should have been dropped from consideration. Remember, W, either you're for us or against us. Powell was playing both ends in case Gore came out on top. He wanted the SOS job and he didn't care who gave it to him.

I did not know that C. Powell was responsible for our not pursuing Saddam.
