- Senate confirmation for a second term as Chairman of the
- Joint Chiefs of Staff is a virtual certainty, but COLIN POWELL
- can expect some uncomfortable moments along the way. Several
- members of the Armed Services Committee, led by Georgia's Sam
- Nunn, recognize Powell as a primary source for Bob Woodward's
- controversial book The Commanders. The Senators will ask the
- general whether he truly preferred economic sanctions to war
- against Iraq, as the book claims, and whether it was appropriate
- for him to disclose the confidential advice he gave to the
- President.
