What ever became of this anyway? Bill Kristol broke this story almost a month ago, but no endorsement. Did I miss something?

It could also break the Palin news cycle.

11. My little sister is in the military
and respects him even after the UN thing. It would be a big help with a segment of the population.

12. He won't.
unfortunately he doesn't have quite that much spine.
Sorry to any offended Powell admireres but after watching him sit silently KNOWING the wrong being done in Iraq, never speaking out till he was safely FAR from Bush...I have no faith.
