Hi Mike
I notice you quote Michael Moore a lot. You do know he's a posturing blowhard, right? <g>
You might want to read Woodward or someone with little more insight (and much better sources) A lot of this stuff is a lot more complex than the MM cartoon version.

>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.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
