I would never criticize Powell on his patriotism.
Why? What did Powell ever do for America? He was an advocate of Detente during the Cold War and if it were up to him the USSR would still be alive.

He had a different opinion. Patriots can have different opinions.

What did Powell ever do for America?Are you serious? He's been serving this country, as a soldier and valued advisor, since the Reagan administration. Has one president ever asked ~you~ for your opinion?

Good soldiers do not necessarily make good politicians. Look at Ariel Sharon. He was bad@ss in the IDF, but as prime minister he is caving into the pressure to appease the Palistinkians.

Whoa...
What did Powell ever do for America? He SERVED in the United States Army for longer than you've been alive.
I strongly disagree with him opening his mouth as he often does in a discouraging lack of support for his former boss. I rarely like what he says. He disappoints me often.
I also respect him, he's a soldier.
