Bush Administration's Biblical Exodus
By WILLIAM SAFIRE

WASHINGTON — Lord knows I have tried, over the years, to keep Colin Powell on the grammatical strait and narrow. And yet, announcing his resignation, the departing secretary of state said that after the president and he had "fulsome discussions on it, we came to mutual agreement. ..."

Fulsome means "offensively excessive," and when two people agree, it's always mutual. This otherwise good man is incorrigible.

We have had more substantive run-ins. After I recalled his mistake in failing to overthrow Saddam when he had the chance in 1991, Powell retorted, "Safire is getting arrogant in his old age." True enough, but he took me aside to apologize, and I came to admire some of his actions at State - especially the way he spun Pakistan's prime minister around on a dime after 9/11, which helped us defeat the Taliban.

In that spirit, I apologize for having quoted colleagues of Colin's deputy, Richard Armitage, as saying he was "better neckless than feckless." Armitage is leaving, too, presumably to help Powell write his next best seller, "The Secret Thoughts of Bob Woodward."

You didn't think Bush had an exit strategy? Six loyal cabinet members have exited so far, accompanied by a flock of pouting spooks at Langley who bet on a Kerry victory. More are sure to join the cabinet appointees and bureaucrats in a mass exodus usually described as biblical.
