Powell is someone that we could all admire. It sure is sad to se him go.U2democrat said:I'm not surprised. But now I'm scared without Powell's clarity in the executive branch.
pianorocker said:I credit Powell with having to deal with all the flak that was thrown at him, especially after he presented the U.S.'s case about Iraq to the UN. I'm sad to see him go because I think that he was a positive influence; however, I can understand why he did it. I too worry about who will be next. Hopefully, judging from Bush's choice for the new AG, it won't be some brash, polarizing person.
Thanks Colin Powell. I don't think I'm the only one who appreciates the job that you have done.

"I believe that now that the election is over, the time has come for me to step down," Powell said

Very interesting report about it was just on NBC nightly news. It seems he was outvoted on a lot of foreign policy issues.
