Powell, who’s first name is for some reason pronounced like the part of the body that expels feces (irony!) leaves the administration as the guy who sold America on the war in Iraq even though he didn’t believe in it.

He lied to the American people and the world.

Now that he’s ruined his credibility hopefully he’ll have the decency to slink off into the darkness never to be heard from again.

Update: I should say also that Colin Powell is the most decent and respectable member of the Bush administration. That’s how bad they are.
