Biden remembers Powell as a friend, patriot, and 'a good man'
The Hill ^ | 10/18/2021 | ALEX GANGITANO

Posted on 10/18/2021 10:27:56 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

President Biden on Monday paid tribute to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who died earlier in the day due to complications from COVID-19, noting his many accomplishments and patriotism that "earned him the universal respect of the American people."

“Colin embodied the highest ideals of both warrior and diplomat. He was committed to our nation’s strength and security above all. Having fought in wars, he understood better than anyone that military might alone was not enough to maintain our peace and prosperity,” the president said in a statement.

“From his front-seat view of history, advising presidents and shaping our nation’s policies, Colin led with his personal commitment to the democratic values that make our country strong. Time and again, he put country before self, before party, before all else — in uniform and out — and it earned him the universal respect of the American people,” Biden added.

Of course he thinks Colon Bowel was a good man, he, like the rest of our elected and appointed, approved of throwing out the Constitution and swearing in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.

You lied to your great friend, Joe (what’s new?). Blood on your hands...

“This is a simple, basic proposition: If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in an ICU unit, and you’re not going to die,” Biden said.

Saw the two of them on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage. They raced their Corvettes. Biden had a'67 Sting Ray and Powell had a 2015 C-7 Corvette. Doesn't mean they were friends though...

But then again, everyone knows Biden's memory is no good.

Well, I remember him as someone who left whatever conservative principles he had and jumped on the Obama bandwagon, eager to have a black president.

The communists demonstrating good potential as operatives were instructed by their leaders to pretend to be “right wing.” This was either around the time of WWII or prior.

Colon Bowel was incompetent as a a military man.

He had us pull out too soon in the first Gulf War, resulting in a second Gulf War years later.

He did not allow the US to use armored vehicles in Somalia, resulting in the Mogadushu disaster with the whole muslim world watching as the dead bodiess of US soldiers were dragged through the streets.

He was a fake republican affirmative action political figure who voted for Obama as soon as he could.
