Colin Powell Resigns - Hmmm

Accelerating the shake-up of President Bush's inner circle in advance of his second term, the White House announced Monday that Secretary of State Colin Powell and three other Cabinet members had submitted their resignations. "I believe that now that the election is over, the time has come for me to step down as secretary of state and return to private life," Powell said in a resignation letter released by the White House. At a brief news conference, Powell said he would stay "a month or two" until a successor is confirmed by Congress. Powell, who often butted heads with fellow members of Bush’s foreign policy team, also said he never intended to serve beyond a first term. “We came to the mutual agreement that it would be appropriate for me to leave at this time,” he said. Powell also dismissed reports that he had offered to stay longer. Why is this not a surprise? However, I’m almost scared to think of who Bush might replace all these people with. What do yall think?
