well..from long long time now she was like that..never wanted him there in the first place

true, she was not happy that he took that job. But he saw it as an opportunity to get into politics. But that backfired quickly!!
hopefully, there is a lesson for us men in there !!

why you chaps think Powell resigned ? He was ashamed that he believed what was fed to him. Unfortunately he is responsible for his own words but he was duped in doing it.
Lil Bush, Rummy and the Dick were the real crooks

that's right. he had to have known.
he was a powerful man in his own right..a general on the way up..national security adviser under Regan..Joint Chiefs chairman and so on. how the hell does a man get all there and does not have a network loyal to him inside the works that would keep him abreast
and he himself would be expert enough to know..after all military is his whole career.
skunt would have known at a glance..but he is a career man also so he followed 'orders' or protocol and did what he was asked to or told to do
