Another moderate voice squelched by this admin., nothing new here. Does this administration now have anyone who served in a war or does this resignation solidify the chicken-hawk bloc? I was a little down about this resignation this morning, but really it seems that he's been ostracized and ignored for the past four years so I'm not sure there will be much of an impact or vacuum. Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld are so intimidated by Powell that they shut him out of all the foreign policy decisions they could, including the planning for our current Iraq quagmire. Remembering Powell's role in the 1991 gulf war doesn't exactly make me think of him as a "charismatic lightweight."
