Colin Powell - the only person in the Bush administration with half a brain, and he's going down, fast.
It sure sounds like Powell will end up taking the blame for Dubya's dubious foreign policy. It's a real pity, because I sort of liked the man (and for me to say I like a Republican is really saying something).
The other day, Secretary of State Colin Powell was reminded that his boss is in bed by ten and sleeps like a baby. Powell reportedly replied, "I sleep like a baby, too-every two hours I wake up screaming."
It's too bad he decided to turn coats on the war at the last minute. Now the rest of us are waking up screaming, and there is no end in sight to this nightmare.
While we're on the subject of jokes, it's sort of funny that we were so sure Turkey would let us station our troops there that we had started unloading stuff in southern Turkey. Is the Bush administration really that wide-eyed? Wake up guys, maybe you should be really sure before you act on promises from a country whose (mostly Muslim) population doesn't support our war. Maybe it's better that way. I know I can't wait for the violence between Kurds & Turkey to erupt. At least U.S. troops won't be in the middle of it. Yet another place in the Middle East enveloped in conflict thanks to us, the harbingers of democracy.
