If W didn't inform the state depatment what was in his SOTU address,and is leaving Powell out of the loop,watch for a letter of resignation to follow.

He did. Nothing that happens in the SOTU by accident. Powell was informed of everything. Bush doesn't work that way; we're not led by the Toon anymore. He and Powell have an agreement. Surprise, people, they do trust each other.

This "Powell is out of the loop" crap is something that we are being spoon-fed. Intentionally, I might add.

This should be interesting. If Powell is out of the loop, I imagine we will find out in due time.

Gotta run.......see you later.

It's too early for Powell to resign yet. He is just now starting to "make his bones" as a "independent moderate thinker". He needs another year and several more incidents,and THEN he can resign and hit the book and talk show circuit. Just in time to be drafted as Buh-Bette!'s VP running mate in 2004.

BTW,my prediction since BEFORE the 2000 elections would be that Powell would resign in 2003 over "policy differences" with Bush,mostly having to do with the US not providing enough AIDS vachinne and food to Africa. This would turn into a public disagreement and Powell would then resign as a "man of honor and principle" (gag,puke!)

If he and Buh-Bette! run on the same ticket,they win. It's as simple as that.
