Secretary of State Powell Resigns

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) has resigned and the White House is expected to make the announcement on Monday, U.S. officials said.

"The Secretary announced to his staff this morning that he had submitted his resignation on Friday. He said he was staying on until a successor is confirmed and on board," a State Department official, who asked not to be named, said.

An administration official also said Powell had said he would stay on "until such a time as a replacement is named."


Powell, becomes the latest high-level member of President Bush (news - web sites)'s cabinet to announce plans to leave following the election.

Powell was often seen representing more moderate views on foreign policy in the Bush administration.

This is not all that suprising. I think the odds would have been pretty strong that he would leave. And, it is not all that unusual to have some big shakeups in the cabinets for a returning president.

You heard him say that? That suprises me. I have heard people speculate that he thinks that, but never heard him say it. Doesn't seem to be his style.

If he starts throwing too many rocks at how things have been handled or who did this right or wrong, he can always remember the day he spent testifying before the UN about the weapons in Iraq.

Powell is leaving because of the health of his wife. Ashcroft left because of his health. No speculation needed.
