But Colin Powell quit on us. He was part of the president's cabinet. I felt betrayed when he left us. Colin could have easily been our next president. However he loved his family more and I can't fault him for that in the slightest.
He quit because he thought he'd be shot if he ran for pres.
Not true. He wasn't running for President.

Tell that to the people of Iraq and the condition their country has been left in.
Colin Powell could have made a difference. He quit on us.

Remember Bush was the President. Not Colin Powell.
You do what your President tells you.
This is exactly what Colin Powell did at the United Nations with the WMD speech. I feel this speech destroyed his credibility which is a real shame.

No, he is a stand up guy and there is no shame in that. I only wish he had not resigned. He could have stuck with it. He resigned ToG/quit.... NOT fired. If given the choice and with conviction, I would let the record say that I was terminated. Bush did not need 'yes people' surrounding him. We needed Powell. I can copy and paste this a few more times if you want me too. It's water under the bridge now anyway.
