Has anyone noticed the timeing of General Powel's anouncement that
he would not continue with the current administration beyond this
term? You have to respect him for not walking away compleatly and
allowing the situation to possibly become worse.
Wow! I did not notice the timing (which would have been late
July/early August). Very astute observation.

That'd be a nice statement, if it was true. Ex-General Colin
Powell has said, more than once, that this rumor is nonsense.
Actually, my understanding is that he called the report `gossip' and
neither denied nor confirmed it. So if it is real, it is a warning
shot, which makes it a normal strategem in courtier-type politics.
I tend to think Powell placed the story as a warning; that the story
was not placed by his enemies as a hope. Also I think that what
Powell actually does in Jan 2005 is another matter, assuming he is
still Secretary of State.
