Ah, Diplomacy

It's time for Powell to go. It really doesn't matter what his reputation is at home - as Sec. of State he needs to command respect abroad. Lately he's been channeling Jonah Goldberg and Donald Rumsfeld, and I think now he's crossed the line.


PARIS (Reuters) - Secretary of State Colin Powell accused countries like France that want more time for arms inspections in Iraq of being "afraid" to take responsibility for a possible war to disarm Baghdad.


I'm sure plenty of people might agree with Powell's assessment - but that doesn't matter. At this point he isn't an effective international advocate of anyone's opinion - his, mine, or Bush's.
