Now nobody's gonna say "you break it, you own it."

four more years.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Seriously, he has a conscience?
We are reffering to the same guy, right? The guy who's job it was to whitewash the My Lai massacre?

He's only a moderate compared to Bush & Co. He looks good because he's in such bad company, not because he really is good.

Wow. That is an incredibly stupid thing for any person to say.

This was expected.  His replacement is a black woman, so any racial or feminist jokes are out.

Are you sure about that?  The article I'm reading says "National security adviser Condoleezza Rice and UN ambassador John Danforth are tipped as possible successors."

Well look, I don't like her either, but that was uncalled for.

i'm sure he was joking mate ;)


do we know he resigned of his own will?  perhaps there are other factors we're not aware of that led to his resigning...

Anyway, this marks the beginning of the end for the Bush administration... watch.

no, this marks the beggining of unrestrained agression.
With Colin Powell gone, there will be no one around to say "You know guys, maybe we shouldn't use nukes after all" or "No Mr.President, you can't say "open a can of whoop ass" on national TV"

I live in the naive hope that even George W knows when his military is over-stretched.

You pathetic wretches don't get it.  Sec. of State is the hardest job in the cabinet.  Powell is retiring because he's probably exhausted.  You morons keep forgetting that all the retirement/departures are usual and expected.  For crying out loud, the heads of the Depts. of Agriculture and Energy quit today too.  It might even be more money, the positions in question don't pay a lot considering the responsibility and stress involved.

I really feel sorry for Powell.  His international crediblity was shot to pieces with the whole UN thing, and the entire Iraq thing, and well, he just really was there for the ride.  Constently pushed out because he and Bush didn't agree on everything.  Damn shame.

I hope he writes a book.
