Powell is the one who thought he could convince the UN dimwits that war was necessary, he has driven the administration down a dead end street.

Colin Powell better step up big or he should be fired ASAP.

Powell will step up to the plate.

Powell is one of the best political assets that GWB has. The thought of replacing him is absurd.

I think Powell's argument, as Secretary of State, was that we needed to try to work things out through the UN first. Frankly, I think this has been a great counter to the "cowboy" caricature of George W. Bush just looking for war. After the passion in Powell's evidence speech to the UN, I have little doubth that he'll be right behind the war unless Saddam rolls over for the UN (or leaves).
