Titular head of the Republican party? Where does he get that from? Powell voted for Obama didn’t he?

Did not Democrat Powell not ENDORSE Obama in the last election?

How does that make him anything Republican?

Colin Powell? He’s that army dude that convinced Bush41 not to take out Hussein and voiced opposition to the Iraq surge during Bush43’s term? He must be a “bushist”!

What a disgusting waste of a West Point edguhmuhcayshen.

Yes, he did. Later was less than enthusiastic about 0bama’s performance. So who cares what Colin Powell thinks, anyway? He thought 0bama would be a good President.

Did the writer of the article confuse Mikey and Colin? They look that much alike? /racist

Powell will be under the bus by the talkshows this Sunday.

Couldn’t happen to a bigger/better lackey.

How can our great Nation generate such a limited cast of people who are always elected, involved, consulted, or influencing the operation of our government?

It is as if there is are two entitlement classes in this country. Those entitled to stuff and those entitled to rule. Those of us who don’t feel we are entitled to anything get runover as those to classes service each other.

Has powell been to Afghanistan lately, has he travelled the country and talked with the commanders, as Gen McCrystal has? I don’t think so.

I presume that was extreme sarcasm:

Colin Powell, the titular head of the Republican Party...

Powell was against the surge in Iraq before he was for it.

And critiquing Bush for not sending more troops sooner after going on the talk circuit in 2006 to complain the surge wasn't needed..

The guy must have Alzheimer's, he is irrational. Which makers him a member of the left, not the right.

Whatever. If this is his advice and BO’s takes it and we lose, then it is BO’s war and Powell's war.
