Bush vs. Powell

Former Bush speechwriter David Frum explains Powell's recent statements about John Bolton.

...By taking a public stand against Bolton, Powell is also taking a public stand against Bush and Cheney.

Is it possible that Powell did not understand that? No, it is utterly impossible. Powell is joining this fight with eyes wide open – and playing for the very grandest of stakes.

I have mixed feelings about Colin Powell. While he seems like a generally good guy, I believe he's always been much more interested in his own image than in solely serving the President.
