Yeah, Powell was one of the moderate voices in the administration. He was demonstrable in garnering what little multilateral support we had for the war. He was an incredible statesman, and it is unfortunate that his career was tarnished by his appearance before the Security Council.

 

It's likely that had McCain been able to convince him to he'd be on his VP ticket... the man is one of the greatest military minds of our time... not on the level of Patton or anything, but still very well possitioned.  He's a black man who didn't use his race as a stepping stone, but went and earned his way up through, no doubt, very tough opposition.  I greatly respect him even if he was a Army General and not a Marine :p
