I don't know exactly what you find wrong with #210 but Powell is bad news. He doesn't even want to get Sadam. The guy is a milktoast of a politician. Not anywhere near Secretary of State material. He is there for the same reasons we will not solve the immegration issues ; because the American people are ignorant.
In the heady times after the Gulf War ( before we realized how much we screwed up ) he was very popular. That popularity stuck wisely because he distenced himself from politics at the time and therefore wrongly didn't become tained with the air of defeat.
Powell is consistently wrong.

The job description of Secretary of State will answer those questions.

The job description of Head of state, answers a few more.

The democrats have been trying to drive a wedge into the administration since they took control.This is poitics in the raw form. In my opinion, the Adminisration is doing a excellent job on all counts.

It is the Congress that makes law and policy regarding immigration. The Justice Dept., Border Patrol and others enforce those laws. The Dept. of State tries to smooth ruffled feathers and tries to avoid probable conflicts, using the people it has and the policies of the administration.

I do not understand, just what it is that you expect from Powell?

He has done everything the president has asked him to do, and he serves at his pleasure.
