...soldier in public, even as he has had to fight for every small victory against Administration hawks like Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. But he has privately grown more frustrated, and now, sources close to Powell tell TIME, he has a firm plan for his exit: he will step down at the end of President Bush's current term. "He will have done a yeoman's job of contributing over the four years," says a close aide. "But that's enough." The aide says Powell's view of the matter is, "I did what my heart...
...fourth component of any European plan would be a clear idea about what to do when Saddam is gone. In an interview with the daily Süddeutsche Zeitung, Foreign Minister Fischer highlighted the importance of an exit strategy: "The United States possess the military means for a forceful change of regime in Iraq ...

De Jonge isn't the only one looking for the exit. London's FTSE 100 touched a five-year low last week, and so far in 2002 the blue-chip European companies that make up the Dow Jones Stoxx 50 index have declined 24%.
