How is he involved in the day to day operations of the military actions? "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young

Post #15,986 by cwbrenn 10/31/01 11:17:35 PM Reply	All I've read are people criticizing the things Powell has been saying in support of what the Military has decided to be -- the criticism phrased as if HE were actually MAKING THE DECISIONS. Now, maybe I honestly don't know what the Secretary of State does... but I didn't think he was calling the shots over in Afganistan. So why is everyone blaming him for the fact that we haven't won the war yet? As a matter of fact, why are these idiots even thinking we should have won by now? I mean... maybe THEY've been playing too many video games... "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young
