Powell Resigns

A source phoned Basse10 this morning about rumours that Colin Powell was set to resign today. This item appeared in AP/Yahoo not long ago. Readers should know that this is not a news site but more about commentary and some humor. That being said, Base10 really gets a kick out of having "sources."

In any event, Base10 salutes you Mr. Secretary. You have fulfilled your duties with dignity and loyalty. In spite of continuous reports of inter-agency warfare and a constant media barrage of criticism and defeatist rhetoric, you remained steadfast in your commitmment to make America safe and secure.

It's interesting that Powell would choose to leave so early in the new administration. Could he he be positioning himself for a run for the White House in 2008 by distancing himself from the current administration and painting himself as a moderate early on? Only time will tell.
