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.
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." As a Desert Storm vet, I agree with Schwarzkopf 100%. Powell does not have "the stomach for war" and IMHO, we had to fight Gulf War II" with a smaller Army because of it. We should have been allowed to finish off the Iraqi army during Desert Storm.
