And Powell is defending him, saying he knows his comments were taken out of context, and thanking him for his support. Barf.
Keep your friends close, and your ENEMIES Closer!!!
About what I would have expected from Powell. I believe he is responsible for persuading Bush #1 to leave Saddam Hussein in power, and I also believe he (Hussein) is the instigator behind most of our current problems. Bush needs to tell Powell to stick to the diplomatic after-dinner speechifying and let him and Rumsfeld handle the serious stuff. Or better yet, appoint him to some ceremonial post where he can't do any real harm.
