Let me say this about Powell and his love for the Messiah - YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!

Look at what liberals and kids are watching.
.
Did you know that NAZI Germany was right wing and conservative?
They didn't like liberals, Jews and immigrants.
Conservatives today don't like liberals, Muslims and immigrants.

Wow Jim, don't you know your history? Do you also think socialism and communism are the same thing?
Hilter purged the socialists and liberals when he came to power. Only the conservatives were left. Read the history for yourself.
USCitizen-Voter
On the History Channel link it states that the brown shirts would disrupt meetings of liberal democrats and others.
.
It also says that once Hilter came to power, he purged all the socialists from the NAZI party. Slaughtered is the word they used. Only the conservatives remained in the party.

I thought powell had integrity, I don't think that back when he was so liked by all he would've done the radical things that barack is doing. barack brought the mafia machine from Chicago with him, powell kept better company.
sammer
He had integrity until he went in front of the UN claiming WMDs that never materialized. It's obvious where you get your information because your comments are gross mischaracterizations and slathered with venom.
Ohiogal
Birds of a feather flock together. That's all this is about and we all know it.
magpie
Powell said "rush" ... Obama heard "don't" ...
Jenney
From blackgent99 said: The founding fathers weren't perfect (slavery) so why should be hold everything they believed in as sacred. The best thing about this country is its ability to improve itself. That's the best thing the "founding fathers" did was to give us the ability to make up for their mistakes.
Jenney's reply: How about if you and the liberals here and in the WH just honor the Constitution. If you must blame them for owning slaves, which by the way were sold first by the stronger tribes, and then the French, and so forth, but you and all just want to blame Americans for it. I Honor the Founding Fathers, while you honor a man intent on destroying all that is good in America. Hopefully, we won't have to wait for our kids to try to fix his mess, we will do everything in our power to fix it ourselves. For a Country barely 200+ years old, we have made more progress by electing a black man while France, Uk, Canada and the rest of liberal countries havent. Unfortunatley, not a good black man was elected.
sammer
Why, because he doesn't have an "R" after his name?
Ronda from Florida
With all due respect or lack thereof Mr. Powell could you keep your head shoved up President Obama's ass and leave the war strategy to someone who knows what they are doing and not basing it on the color of their skin like you.
Jenney
Skin is more important to him than Country.
sammer
Profound. How do you substantiate this?
Jenney
Uh Duh. Was that profound for you too? Let's see, McCain was his pick, he praised McCain until an inexperiecned black man ran for the Presidency. The RINO voted for him and has been up his ever since. Sure after Clinton gets kicked out he will take her place.
honest babe
I just don't understand why they don't destroy the world's biggest poppy crop found in The Province of Kandahar, Afghanistan! Get rid of the crop that's funding the war... I want to say I saw a few weeks ago that Karzai's brother governs this province and works for the CIA! This sounds very corrupt to me.
Jim Leonard in California, Maryland
Powell is still sippin' the koolaid. Whatever credibility he once had is gone now...
sammer
No, he lost his cred when the WMDs failed to turn up.
paulinpa
PLEASE LEAVE THE PARTY LIKE BENEDICT ARLEN SPECTOR, YOU BELONG WITH YOUR OWN KIND. BIRDS OF A FEATHER ALWAYS FLOCK TOGETHER, SO GET THE FLOCK OUT.
duvexy
I respect Powell, but he always was a yes man. This a distraction to move the barack obamas responsibilty for what he doing to someone else. This is ethically wrong.
Tel...
Obama's wants to go cheap on Afghanistan without trying to look like he's weak or a liar. The only strategy he's concerned about is his own re-election strategy.
Richard from NY
Anybody notice how old and ugly looking Obama is becoming? That's what happens when you're in over your head trying to do a job you have no executive experience in or swimming in the deep end of the pool when you can't swim!
Taipan
Obama hasn't made an intelligent decision since he's been in office. Sure hope that nobody is expecting him to make one in regard to Afghanistan.
4hdcp
Obama hasn't done a thing in office. SEIU writes his bills, Congress passes them and now he can't make a decision about Afghanistan. This way he can always say "It wasn't me" when this house of cards comes crashing down. What an arrogant doofus!

OBAMA SENSE:
McChrystal .....ON THE GROUND........ON SITE,,,,,,,,In COMMAND......

Isn't Powell that has been General that screwed up the first Iraq war by advising the then President Bush to stop short of Bagdad and not finish the job?
-BOSMAN-
One in the same!
Laura S.
Yeah, right... he's just covering the brutha's 'presidential' ass !!!!
boone
two dumbasses...dont make a right
njjoe
powell,your true colors are clear,you have lost all respect from millions of americans so your opinion`s are irrelivent.and we already know the organizer can`t make a decision on his own.
tbky
powell has a job in this admin. hussein's monica
Mac45
I once thought Colin Powell was an alright fellow but now we know he is in bed with the Communist administration.
HMG
Powell is probably looking for a job in the Obama Adm.
YOUR LIBERAL COMMANDER N CHIEF
AND THAT IS SUPPOSE TO MAKE ME BELEIVE OBAMA IS A STRAIGHT SHOOTER AND A COMPETENT PRESIDENT...HA HA HA
Learn 2 Swim
Just bring the troops home and admit defeat, that's what's going to happen eventually anyway.
MDW
The only thing Powell had going for him - he was at the right places and right times during his career. He was lucky in that respect Other wise he has joined the loser crowd in this administration.
Recon
spineless pussies can't make a decision.
I'll say 1 thing for GW, he had guts.
Bring em home, enough with the PC boil on America & the US Military's ASS.
Blackgent99
What a bunch of sore losers.
Sharon
Well Powell did vote for BO, so I kind of expect him to share his idealogy. However, it seems to me that maybe Powell is trying to take some of the heat off his li'l buddy by admitting that it was his idea to "dither".
Stranger things have happened.
Moonraker
Powell, stay over there with the dems, that your true home.
MTQQ
This is why the Reps are falling apart. Keep it up. We're getting comfortable in the White House.

My wife went to school with Colin in the Bronx, at the time she was two years ahead of his class. Apparently, she still is.
gllasse
Hhhhhmmmmmm, let's see, Obama could not/would not ever say that the surge in Iraq was a success so I predict that cannot/will not ever make a decision.
Dixiecrat in TN
And we are suspose to care what the hell Powell thinks or has to say.
lilymax
Are you taling about Colin "TRAITOR" Powell???? Who cares what he thinks? He isn't relevant anymore. What a waste of a man.
Malaka
Shocking! A president thoughtfully considering the options. No wonder Fox "News" hates him.
