It’s hard to believe that Powell’s claim to fame, Operation Desert Storm was over 20 years ago. Who is Colin Powell?

No one without Stormin Norman.

"It’s hard to believe that Powell’s claim to fame, Operation Desert Storm was over 20 years ago."

I recently did a search for Norman Schwarzkopf to see what he was up to, and discovered he turned 78 in August. I turned 65 in August too, but it's hard to believe so much time has passed since we first heard his name.

Who is Colin Powell?

Powell is an affirmative action opportunist who will always allow race to trump reason. As Norman Schwarzkopf is quoted as telling a staff member in Riyadh in "The Generals' War", "Powell is a political genius ... but he lacks the stomach for war."

Also, lest we forget, Powell dropped the ball when he failed to support commanders requests for heavy armor and AC-130s in Somalia.
