Well, crap. There goes Colin Powell
I have no way of knowing, of course, but I believe C.P. hs been the only one preventing massinve “group think” inside the Whitehouse. He was a voice of dissent on the invasion of Iraq, and he’s the only one in the Bush high command with real international and military experience (Dubya’s non-appearance at Nat’l Guard training notwithstanding).
He’ll be missed.
