Presidential Auction 2004

Is Colin Powell grooming himself to replace Oil Slick Dick?

Asked about his experience being on the losing end of important foreign policy debates, Powell said "there was no split" over the invasion of Iraq once the Bush administration concluded Hussein had violated the final demands from the U.N. Security Council.

"I can assure you that I have in no way been constrained, contained or kept on the outside of our discussions," Powell said.

... "We would have faced those weapons at another time, at another place," Powell said.

Before the invasion, Powell expressed doubts in administrative channels about the wisdom of the war and the president's understanding of its implications, but he said yesterday that he was "solidly behind what the president found he had to do last spring when he undertook Operation Iraqi Freedom."

We used to hear how disgruntled Powell was over the Iraq fiasco - so disgruntled that he was planning on resigning.

I guess he's gruntled now.
