As much as Powell has character and intelligence his was completly out of his league. He was up against two guys who had done this with a previous presidency. They conspire and play the game better then anyone to their and the rest of the world's (at this point) detrement.
That along with a completly complacent media/journalism to quell any truths and an ability to re-write history at near parrellel timing just makes me wonder if there's any hope.
The two great things that should have ended this fiasco written into our constituion failed us.
Freedom of the press, which bowed, bent, and then broke under capatalistic pressures of profit and neilson boxes.
And powers of the purse, because of career politicians too afraid of the label "unpatriotic". When in fact blocking a funding bill from making it to the floor is the basic check and balance to presidential powers.
