GQ: Powell Frustrated, Will Not Return

His mouth to God's ears. Colin Powell has been an absolutely absymal secretary of state - just ask the US women citizens still being held prisoner (some in forced marriages) in Saudi Arabia. Just ask the people of Lewiston, ME, buried under an avalanche of Bantu "refugees" because the State Department doesn't think we have enough. They never met an Arab jihadi they didn't like, either. Good riddance to Powell, and maybe President Bush in his second term will put someone in charge of State who has some cojones - like Coni Rice.

[Kaslin]

What a shocker -- don't most 2-term Presidents have a lot of turnover early in their second term? This is kind of like predicting that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.

They sure do, but the left acts like Presdident Bhush is the only one who has a turnover. I would not be surprised if most in the administration will be staying with him

[what's up]

The most quoted person is "Ullman," a "mentor" of Powell's presumably from years ago.

Load of hogwash. Every time I see Powell on TV he is nothing but supportive of Bush.

[ken5050]

Powell wants the three piece suit to return...

[Kaslin]

Next time clean glasses

Presdident Bhush =President Bush

[Truth Barer]

What Black person would any white conservative vote for as President of the US?

[Belisaurius]

Note the obligatory swipe at the 'utopian neoconservatives' from a State Department still living in the 1970s world of detente and accomodation.

[vandykelastone]

Who? Condi Rice, Bill Frist, John Ashcroft, Rudy Giuliani - anybody but Powell. RINO.

[cspackler]

Ummm, ant qualified one? Get a grip.

[cspackler]

ant = any...

[what's up]

The liberals love to try to divide the top tier of leadership, so invent all kinds of innuendo, creating conspiracies out of things that were never actually said.

They did this from the very beginning with Powell. Too bad so many conservatives believe it too.

Condi Rice and Alan Keyes are two that I can think of off the top of my head - given a little time I probably couln't come up with any more than a dozen additional examples...

Perferably one that has the balls to do his own complaining instead of sending out a mouthpiece to do it for him.

AND one that doesn't use the national stage to promote PREFERENCES and AA for minorities.

Yeah there ya go.

Now you can continue your open water trolling!

[motzman]

The first black President of the US will be a Republican, not a Rat.

Bet on it.


No, Clinton doesn't count.

Your first ever post on Free Republic, and you spout a racist crack in the form of a question.

Better turn the A/C on, it's going to get warm where you are.

[Dark Wing]

I See another anti-Bush book coming.

[CyberAnt]

Not really.

There is no RULE to prevent it. It's just an "unwritten" agreement that no member of the "permanent council" - 5 nations - will not serve as Secretary General.

Since we are a permanent member, that should preclude Clinton from being able to be elected there - but I believe the "PLAN" has always been to have Bill at the UN and Hillary at the USA - thereby ruling the world. I'm not making this up - really.

However, if anybody was paying attention, Clinton was lobbying for this job during the run-up to the war. I suspect he knew that if Bush went to war - the oil-for-food was going to be exposed and Kofi would be in trouble. But .. if I read the clinton-lovers correctly - they weren't buying his ascension to the UN throne.

[cyncooper]

This is recycled from Woodward's book it sounds like.

Powell already spoke powerfully and forcefully refuting the business that he's unhappy, not friends with Cheney and at odds with administration policies.

[TheDon]

I noticed the same thing. A rather misleading article and title, no doubt to sell product.

GQ? Gentleman's Quarterly?? I'm holding out to hear about this, and about other weighty geopolitical matters, from the TRUE voice of sanity in international affairs: InternationalMale.com, of course.
