CNN: Colin Powell Resigns

This was on the cards for a while now, but Colin Powell has apparently submitted his resignation - a humbled shadow of his former self, one of the only senior people to attempt to inject some reason into the debate, ultimately falls on his sword.

This means, I suppose, that we'll get to see who's going to be the next SecState any day now.

Those words and this issue seem vaguely familiar, don't they? Many believed him last time... no matter what the truth, how many are going to think he's crying wolf again? That... is the saddest thing about re-electing these guys. No credibility... exactly what you want from your leaders and your representatives.
