This man is good. I feal so much better about our problems with Iraq when I here Colin explaining it or answering questions from the press. He is calm and cool. He does not have a cocky or look down attitude. You listen to him and you have the fealng all will be ok. Bush was very smart when he selected Colin.

have heard rumors
that powell`s isn`t behind this war as much as some others in the bush cabinet.....and that he has already decided not to be a part of any bush re-election cabinet.....as i said,that`s pure speculation.....but,i agree with your comment....he adds a certain level of ...."validity"(i guess for lack of a bettter term)and consideration to this decision.......would also throw serious props to tony blair for gutting it out in the face of tremendous opposition at home.....would have been much easier to cave into public and political pressures......as they say,all politics are essentially local and blair`s decision puts him squarely in the crosshairs......two leaders(and powell) whose political lives fully depend on this war going smoothly and successfully......i hope it goes well with few serious problems....

Bush's political life is also on the line.Not only does the war have to go well but the economy must rebound.
Powell also helps the Bush cabinet in the sense that all of them were pussies in dodging drafts right?
Yeh Tony They can't all be the courage,honesty,morals and integrity of your idol Willie.
I will say to your credit though if Willie Willie was still in, Hussein and UBL would have surrendered long ago knowing full well they would be granted a pardon with for just a tad of palm greasing. Which reminds me you can add ethics to the above list.
You know,they say that our heros we identify with have characters that mirror our own.
