Well, that was quick. Mr. Powell, we miss you already. I know it must have been difficult to work with a majority of people who disagree with you, to have the president say "I hear you Colin, but I'm not taking your suggestion, I'm going with Rummy". Loyal to a fault, you took the presidents orders and mislead the UN on WMD in Iraq. You knew the evidence was flimsy, yet you did your best to filter the truth from the exaggerations before the speech. But the intelligence was wrong. You took the punch for the administration. I hope W can find a way to make his presidency worthwhile for all the sacrifices you have made.
Ms. Rice has big shoes to fill, and I have hope that she will impress us all.
