Watching what Bush/Rumsfeld did to him and the military commanders in the field after the defeat of Saddam was terrible.
Powell is respected amongst real conservatives. The problem is the religous right and their cronies have still hijacked the party. They believe opposing gays, giving government the power to pick and choose who gets an abortion and who doesn't and chanting Onward Christian Soldiers makes one a conservative.
Goldwater is rolling in his grave.
Gadawg, I hven't read many of your posts so I don't know if you're ignorant or a LIEberrhoidal Stooge.
Colon Powel is a RINO of the worst kind. He was a Republican
ONLY because it served his purposesd for advancement. He
USED Dubya.
Colon Powell is now a member of the 130 BILLION CARLYLE GROUP. Colon Powell has been bribed by the other members of that ISLAMOFASCIST FINANCIAL BEHEMOTH run by GEOGE SOROS and Prince Al-Waleed the Saudi Royalty toadie of the WAHHABIS, the most virulent of all of Islam's Fanatical Imams.
And, please note the Voice of Islamofascism & Al Queda, the SunniBitch Swine claims that he would vote for the Colon if he ran.
Colin Powell was in The Nam as a combat vet. Where was Boy George?
Who else spoke up about the absurd strategy of fighting a land war of attrition against an Asian foe when it was not chic to do so? And he advanced his career IN SPITE OF THAT.
How many lives have been saved as a result of a different strategy of land war gains formulated by Powell and implemented in each of the last 3 wars?
Gdamdog,
Yes Colon Powell was a Nam combat vet that served with distinction. But he
DID advance his career as a Republican and he
DID dupe Dubya by being a Piece of Shit RINO.
Your snide remark about Dubya's military record: Dubya was a sucessful
FIGHTER PILOT in the Natl Guard.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A FIGHTER PILOT ......the intelligence and split second reaction time ???And, acknowledged as an excellent pilot by his Commanding Officers. The fact that he had political duties to perform does not excuse your slurs....
ESPECIALLY when you consider Slick Willy's disgraceful buggout to Canada, then England...then to Moscow where Slick marched in parades vilifying our Military as they were being wounded and dying in Nam. And, then we have the Dem Presidential choice Hanoi Kerry who was a
TOTAL PHONEY rejected by 25 out of 26 officers he served with in the Swift Boat command...including their Commanding Admiral, Rear Admiral Roy F. Hoffmann who labeled Hanoi Kerry as "UNFIT FOR COMMAND". BTW, Hanoi Kerry's photo still hangs in the Hall of Fame....not in our Country.....but in Hanoi's War Remnants Museum dedicated to
their heroes. Finally, what the **** did Obama do w/r/t to the Military. This MONUMENTAL BLACK RACIST MARXIST FRAUD and ******* idiot repeatedly used the word "CORPSE MAN" 4 or 5 times honouring our CORPSMEN (pronounced "kor/men") at a Military Celebration. And, the ******* Dems call Sarah Palin "stupid" when this idiot probably still thinks, as he sated, that there are "57" states in America.
The ****** did not save a SINGLE life in the last three Wars....you are totally full of shit on that.
BUT ALL THE ABOVE IS MEANINGLESS BECAUSE AT THE PRESENT TIME......REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HE DESERVES OR DOESN'T DESERVE YOUR FANTASY ACCOLADES.......COLON POWEL IS A TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY BY BEING A BRIBED MEMBER OF THE ISLAMOFASCIST CARLYLE FINANCIAL BEHEMOTH RUN BY THE UNSPEAKABLE PIECE OF SHIT SOROS AND THE TOADY OF THE WAHHABIS, PRINCE AL-WALEED OF THE SAUDI ROYALTY !!!
And, to put a final nail in your idiotic coffin: The Voice of Islamofascism & Al Queda: The SunniBitch would vote in Colon Powell, the newly formed Piece of Shit, as President of the United States of America.
