Powell is another figure who declines in my estimation day by day. It's hard for me to believe that a man like him held positions of high responsibility and power in our military. Compare him to men like Nimitz, Patton, Arnold and Puller. They were fighters, leaders, patriots. He, on the other hand, is a media creation.
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

He owes his success to Affirmative Action, and that enabled him to pass by better men.

Yes.....true, all of the above....but even worse, he’s a politician. A racist politician.
Allow me to prove the point. Would he have been caught dead with Farrakhan during the Bush years? Of course not.
I wouldn’t piss on the man if he was on fire.

While serving in the Pentagon during the First Gulf War, I saw both Cheney and Powell everyday walking to their morning briefings (I worked the mid-shift in the CCF). Cheney was always friendly to all of us whereas Powell was aloof and very professional. At the time, I admired Powell but a friend who worked with me absolutely despised him, calling him a phony warrior so political that he was willing to say or do anything to remain in power. Seems as if my friend nailed him perfectly.
