I doubt Powell is going to get involved in this.

His deputy speaking alone, shows a different side.

I had heard early on that Powell did not want to see Bolton get this appointment.

Can't imagine Powell getting into this pissing contest. Not his style.

What is going on here? I've had the utmost respect for Colin Powell. I've wondered why he left Bush's cabinet, why he was at odds with Bush. Seems he is still at odds.

Powell's not a bad guy, but he gets rolled more than dice in Las Vegas.

His opinion will be noted and overruled. Again.

Lugar's fault. Bolton should have already been out of committee and confirmed.

When oh when is the Foreign Relations committee going to meet again? Are they waiting for Voinovich to finish his homework?

I think it is Powell's style. He was a weak Sec of Defense and a pathetic Secretary of State. Typical guvernment EEO type of style. It was a good day when his butt was removed. Good riddance of this overblown weasel, hope he finds a lot of time to fix those old Volvos!

Powell was NEVER Sec of Defense!

But good point anyway. Only reason Powell is in the GOP is because the DNC is too crowded with Leftists Blacks!
