Hello ... no one attacked his military service They questioned his service as a Congressman HEY POWELL ... There is a differenceYou're right.
Powell is not real bright. It's always always about him. He wants the press to love him in the future when they write about his career.

I do not believe that the Congressman said one thing in anyway disparaging of the conduct or heroic dedication of the Marines. He called, in effect, for a reassessment of what we do next. That is certainly proper.
And frankly, the Marines in Iraq are being used in roles which in many respects fail to utilize them in the traditional roles for which they were trained. You do not need an elite amphibious force to patrol a desert area. That they are brave, and trained to obey orders without flinching is to the Marines' credit. The present usage, however, is not necessarily to the credit of the Federal Government and the Defense Department, and a reluctance to fully explore our options and the rationale for certain decisions is not patriotism but "pig headedness." It does not protect the Marines, but the civilian office holders, who make the final decisions.
Let's have the debate, while we honor Marine bravery and skill.

"I once read that Bush Sr. picked Powell over something like 3000 higher rated personnel for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs (It might have been 300 but I think 3000 is right).
Bush Jr. is now reaping what Bush Sr. has sown in the name of PC."
Bush Jr. is NOT "reaping what Bush Sr. has sown". Bush Jr. is reaping what he himself has sown. Nobody forced Bush Jr. to pick Powell as his Secy of State. If Powell didn't have the Department of State in his resume, he'd be just another retired general & nobody would be headlining his views.

She's supposedly a preacher's kid but she apparently hasn't read the part about God's covenant lands and not dividing Jerusalem. This bothers me more than anything else anyone's done so far. When we touch Israel, we can expect bad things to happen here in America. President Bush should also know better. Argghhh. Well, whatever is done is done. All we can do is pray and hope God doesn't blow us off the planet. Ever wonder if Katrina was payment for running the jews out of the Gaza strip? I've read stuff about that. Run the jews out, and we'll get run out in one way or another. We need to be very careful where Israel is concerned.

"We're not facing a world war anymore," Powell told the Post. "We have pretty much convinced the world that democracy is a better system than communism or fascism or totalitarianism."
Tell that to Al Quaida and the Chinese

Is Powell getting senile? Does he drink? No, just showing his true colors.

Your statements go beyond the rigors of space alloted in forums such as FR. Dialog would not do your understanding justice on why you spoke as you did. Lets just say I second your thoughts. And the day will come when there are 244,000 witnesses. He who created all things is in control.

Did he really say that? That Murtha was comparable to M. Moore? It just doesn't sound like Scott.

Geez, is neutering mandatory to get a State Dept. job these days?

I always wondered why he was called "Colon" instead of "Colin"

Thanks! I wasn't sure WHAT you were going to say at first. Yes, God is in control and perhaps this is all going to lead to the existing endtime prophecies. All we can do is wait and pray. Love, M

Only the Father knows when the gig is up. To many things have to change world wide, one world government, mark of the beast which really indicates a one world government put in place with future means of commerce, e.g. replace credit cards with head/hand implants where one checks person's ID with a bar code reader device then approves the purchase. All shots being called by one guy, e.g. a world leader where all nations obey etc..
So though what happens in Israel should remain a special interest to us, I wouldn't place all my apples in one basket.
And besides, we are to expect what appears to be world wide peace. Small chance of that happening any time soon.
At any rate. I was a bit suprised to get a response from you so late in that thread. You take care.
