I never said he was forced out Lib. He announced months back that he probably wouldn't stay on for a second term.

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"

That's at least a year's worth of masturbation material right there.

Between the proposition to use nuclear weapons and saying "can of whoop ass" on national TV, a good chunk of the American public is going to get daily gratification from just playing back those sound bytes.

But fear not, my friends. When all other bastions of hope have collapsed, one beacon stands on the horizon, staying the Apocolypse with its steady hand! Could it be? YES! IT IS! Home of baked beans, MIT, and Matt Damon! The only state that didn't give Nixon its votes! That's right!

Massachusetts!

It was totally expected for Powell to resign. His job is a very demanding job: early hours, ****loads of travel, late nights. It was actually expected for him to resign after a year or so.

He didnt resign because of the Iraq war or anything like that. He disagreed with the President on certain points of the war, but if it was eating his conscience or something he would have resigned 2 years ago.

That's a myth! Massachusetts ranks quite reasonably with regards to tax burden.

Powell claims he was resigning of his own volition and that he was planning to retire at this point anyway. A senior state department official claims otherwise and says that he was not asked to return, although he was not asked to leave.
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.

He's always said he was only in for one term, whether Bush got reelected or not. This is a non-issue, folks.

Meh, I was just quoting Homer Simpson. :p  There's plenty of other reasons why I don't like Masachusetts (mainly because it's one of the bluest states out there).

There's at least the very small crumb of comfort that it wasn't Wolfowitz who got the post.... then we'd be officially screwed (this was the man who both proposed the current "you looking at me? ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?  No? Well I'll ****ing do you anyways!" policy, and went ballistic when the CIA failed to find any information to discredit the UN inspectors & Hans Blix prior to the Iraq War)
