Hi Tracy:
I think Colin Powell was hoping to eventually become President after George's tour ran out. He now knows that isn't possible after the misadventure in Iraq.
I think Colin Powell, Congo Rice, Donald Runsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Pearl all new the story about the "yellow cake from Nigeria" was false when George was using it. Colin Powell was a good soldier and he was following orders form his Commander in Chief when he went to the UN and talked about the aluminum tubes for the nuclear centrifuges. They all (except maybe George) knew this stuff was false.
But they had all those troups on the border and it was pretty hard to bring them home, particularly when people like Norman Swartskof was telling them it would only take 1 week.
George is talking about cabinet changes. The changes we would like most in Canada is to see Dick Cheney leave. I think he has been the biggest driving force on this war and he has had undue influence on George. I think Colin Powell may have been able to stop the attack on Iraq if it wearn't for Cheney.
