Which Are characterized As insubordination a Smullen said. Quot the chairman As the principal military adviser to the president. Has not Only a duty but a right and responsibility to express his views and  but Powell in his comments on the presidents Compromise plan Friday stopped Well Short of saying he would drop his opposition to lifting the ban.
