I do not think it is wise to do that but sending Powell back to charity work will be much wiser.

One must remember Powell lost the battle against Saddam Husein and many events today can attributed to that...... yes Schwarzkopf (spl?) won the war we all know that.

Read this letter to The Sunday Times andrewsullivan.com

wonder if that is true

Bush has Powell exactly where he wants him. He can be used occasionally as a good cop in international affairs, soothing over ruffled feathers abroad, acting as a symbol of calm and moderation at home, while being essentially powerless in the real decision-making of the administration. Powell, naturally, doesn't see it this way and spins his precarious position well. 'Do you know how worse it would be without me?" he has allegedly quipped to friends. To which the Bushies quietly respond, "Keep believing that, Colin. Keep believing it."
