Jumping Ship

It is an exodus. We knew Powell was going. He blew his future by not cutting out long ago. If he had wanted to, and gotten a good polit manager, He had a shot of becoming the first black president. No dummy He must have known this but chose a different path. I think him to be a decent man caught up in conflict between duty and conscious.
As for the others, I don't know about their reasons but it can't look good to the rest of the world.
AND Can anyone possibly believe that Rice is in any way qualified to be secretary of state?
