WASHINGTON Using the war in Libya and the conflict in Syria as examples, former Secretary of State Colin Powell cautioned against U.S.-backed regime changes.
Touching upon the debate surrounding U.S. immigration from the Middle East, Powell said Muslims should not be singled out as threats.
You better be careful because and I have considerable experience with this just taking out the regime doesnt necessarily fix the problem. ...... (snip) As I have said to my old bosses, President Bush and others, be careful what you do. Remember if you take out a regime you become the new regime until you can figure out a way to pass it on to the people who live there, he added.
(snip, couldn't help himself jabbing at Trump)
We should not isolate and single out just Muslims as being bad. We do have terrorists that come from the Muslim community but we also have some that are homegrown, nutty terrorists that do terrible things. But it would not be our way of doing things if we were to condemn an entire people merely because of their religious belief, and Ive spoken out on this repeatedly, Powell said.
Most recently on the birther issue where some of the people pushing to see the presidents birth certificate also wanted to see if he was a Muslim does it say so on the birth certificate, and my response has been, so what? You know, we get Muslims born in this country all day long and we want them as long as they are good citizens, and they are good citizens, he added.

Too mad right now to form a coherent response. I'll comment in a few minute.
Or they might kill us?
Okay, Muslims and Satanists are bad.
You are so write Gen. Powell, we should single out muslims AND all the people like you who in any way defend them. Consider it done, Benedict Colin Arnold Powell.
And Ninja's.
OK, Colon Blow: Leftists, Socialists, Communists, fellow travelers, academics, celebutards, and the media, too.
Colon, trying to dick the USA - again.
But it would not be our way of doing things if we were to condemn an entire people merely because of their religious belief,
**************************
Tell me, Colon Bowel, what other religion has as its goal world domination and the deaths of everyone else?
Muslims and Satanists and the Thugee cult of Kali are bad.
...and Kaepernick / BLM, too.
We don’t, we all include illegal aliens that sneak into the country. There are of course home grown bad people, and once they expose themselves we go after them as well. What an effin stupid statement Colin.
And who else is bad? Who else shoots up malls, runs over hundreds in trucks, bombs parades and marathons, shoots up dance clubs and work places???? hmmmm?? What the hell happened to him?
Kali Ma!
Spoken like a true globalist. I used to like him.
Hell, even the home grown ones are allah stooges.
Why not? They NEED singling out. They murder for their religion.
OK, Colin. YOU BAD, TOO! YOU are partly responsible for
this PUTTER we’ve been stuck with for almost 8 yrs. now!
RINO!! BLACK is skin deep.
Yeah, you know how those Amish can act up. So, Colon, are you also suggesting the terrorist group BLM???
Most recently on the birther issue where some of the people pushing to see the presidents birth certificate

Maybe they wanted the Constitution upheld........
Birtherism is the greatest Alinsky ever perpetrated.
They have gotten the American people to reject one of the most valuable safeguards bequeathed to us by the founders.
The natural born citizen clause served us well until we ignored it.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
It does not matter if he was born in Hawaii if his father was a foreign national.
Children of foreign nationals inherit the nationality of their foreign national parent(s).
Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.
No other possible citizenship(s).
Only when one cannot be anything else can one be a natural born citizen.
No foreign birth.
No foreign parent(s)
No foreign citizenship(s)
No foreign influence on the Presidency is what John Jay stated in a letter to George Washington as the reason for insisting on a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because both parties cooperated in the violation of the Constitution
