I wouldn't say it's terrible, but given the events of the last year and a half, I would say it is ill advised. Powell at the least has proven given to misstatements, and nobody ever even understands what Rummy is saying ("there are things that are, and there are things that aren't, but sometimes the things that aren't are things that are, and sometimes the aren't are things that aren't, unless they are things that are things that aren't things"), it's like he's auditioning for a high school production of "Rain Man," for God's sake speak English, man!

Neocon, try trusting NO ONE. Try THINKING for yourself. You may be good at parroting the official Bush party line, but that doesn't make you perceptive and it clearly doesn't make you right. You see, they have agendas that are often separated from the "truth" by a great chasm of self-interest and expediency. Re: "...I am more inclined to trust persons of experience, character, and judgment, like Powell and Rumsfeld, who spend their professional lives dealing with these issues, and are privy to the best available intelligence, than some guys on a chat board who buy just about anything said by critics of the Administration, and think that means they have a clue........."
