Curious... The AOL headline of the moment reads, "If Bush Wins, No Colin Powell." Makes it sound like it's Bush or him. Wonder who we'd have to elect to keep Powell. The better headline would have been, "After 2004 No Colin Powell," which would have been accurate and would not have tied up his boss' reelection in the matter, that reelection being, in this case, an irrelevancy.The subhead notes that Powell simply doesn't plan on doing another term, unsurprising given that his tenure - like that of many the cabinet officer - was not as distinguished or as according to plan as he would have liked. The official reason cited, incidentally, is that Alma Powell would like her husband back, thank you. Which may well be true, providing for the one time in twenty when a big shot leaving office for family reasons really is.
