The GQ atricle of Powell's men (his people) going on the record saying that Powell has had to put out fires sent by the Neocons in the administration, that he disagrees with a harline cuban policy (hello FLA) that "Condi is a jerk" and that the President is an idiot wasn't helpful.

They had to have Condi's consent!!!

And you believe that BS??

Here is a little history of Powell

Back in 92/93 .. Powell stayed on as Joint Chief of Staff for Clinton after the Bush Administration

Well it didn't last very long with Clinton and Powell quit as fast as he could

If Powell didn't like working for President Bush (43) .. I'm thinking Powell wouldn't have a problem leaving

Since he hasn't? .. I'm thinking that article is BS

Read the article again, it was a contrived hit piece.

Do you think that Powell would put up a trail balloon in GQ? Do not be absurd. They are just in a coordinated attack on all player in the administration. You do not even know if Powell's "aide" is a Democrat or a Republican. He denied the whole thing and the media tried to spin it in a way that implied he was just keeping mum.

Powell is not a liberal, He was the JCS, for Pete's sake. He was loyal to Reagan, loyal to Bush Senior and loyal to W. If he had Democrat leaning he would have come out of the closet years ago. He "retired" rather than serve under Clinton.

First they tried calling him literally and "Uncle Tom" and implicitly a "House Ni**er." when that did not work they tried this idiotic "moderate" nonsense, as if the man the was in came to senior flag rank during the Reagan and Bush years would be some sort of closet Democrat just because of his race.

They come out with this "Powell is unhappy" nonsense every quarter and Powell shoots it down every time. I imagine he is tired of it.

You should get yourself a dog. It will help you. Try to control yourself, you are not helping anyone here with your propensity to get so emotional. Get a grip.
