I don't feel one bit sorry for Powell. As the article points out, he could have quit. His son would have joined the ranks of the unemployed. But at the end of the day, he chose to stick with Bush and the policy. The Administration is fighting the GWOT like it's some conventional battle in a third world country. They've chosen a strategy that you would think is the optimum strategy of Al Quaeda. Al Quaeda has tied up the bulk of US forces with a few hundred to thousand of their own forces. Some of whom may be new volunteers merely because the US has started a war in Iraq. A military dream come true. jttmab
