Draw your own conclusions from the fact that Armitage’s best friend Colin Powell called Dick Cheney’s supporters (including Scooter Libby, Doug Feith and Paul Wolfowitz) the “Gestapo Office” (quite insulting considering that there is a history of relatives lost in the Holocaust among them).
Factor in that Powell called Doug Feith “a card-carrying member of the Likud Party” and referred to the Likudnicks in the White House controlling policy during his “exit interview with Bush” (see Assassin’s Gate: America in Iraq) – thereby showing his support for anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists.

The Republican party elites have accomplished something that the Democrats never could. When it comes to the top of the Republican tickets, I am no longer able to support or vote for them.
I'm sure they'll get their share of leftist votes though, so I'm comfindent they won't miss mine.
If they should run a conservative, I'll still be out here waiting. Like I'll ever see a day like that again...
Let us not forget that Colin Powell, a lifelong soldier and government official, upon leaving the Clinton Admin (1st term) became an agent for the Saudis and UAE and quickly became a mega-millionaire. He pulled some of his pals along with him... Armitage, Zinni,....
All became millionaires and Powell became the Chief of the UAE/Saudi cabal in Washington, D.C.
All the other players bow at his feet. He does not need to be POTUS.
Marc Grossman and Joe Wilson went to the same college in Santa Barbara in the same year and had parralell careers in the Middle East and Europe at the same time, per Clarice Feldman (she has great info)!! They are FRIENDS!!

"...In 2005, Ambassador Marc Grossman completed 29 years of distinguished public service when he retired from the State Department as the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. Ambassador Grossman served as the Department’s third-ranking official, supporting U.S. diplomacy worldwide. Following the September 11th attacks, he helped marshal international diplomatic support for the Global war on Terrorism and for the military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ambassador Grossman previously served as the Director General of the Foreign Service and Director of Human Resources from 2000 to 2001. At the direction of the Secretary of State, he revamped the State Department’s human resource strategies, including the Department’s strategies for training, assigning, and retaining personnel both at home and abroad.
As Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs from 1997 to 2000, Ambassador Grossman was responsible for over 4,000 State Department employees posted in 50 sites abroad with a program budget of $1.2 billion. He played a lead role in orchestrating NATO's 50th anniversary Summit in Washington in 1999 and helped direct U.S. participation in NATO’s military campaign in Kosovo that same year.
Ambassador Grossman was U.S. Ambassador to Turkey 1994-1997. In Turkey, he promoted security cooperation, human rights and democracy and a vibrant U.S.-Turkish economic relationship. Ambassador Grossman had previously served as the embassy’s Deputy Chief of Mission from 1989 to 1992.
As the Executive Secretary of the State Department and Special Assistant to the Secretary of State from 1993 to 1994, Ambassador Grossman managed operations for the senior State Department leadership. He served as the Deputy Director of the Private Office of Lord Carrington, the NATO Secretary-General, from 1983 to 1986 and at the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan from 1976 to 1983.
A native of Los Angeles, California, Ambassador Grossman graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara and later received an MSc. in International Relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science. As a result of his outstanding service to his country, Ambassador Grossman is the recipient of numerous honors and awards. He attained the Foreign Service’s highest rank in 2004 when he was accorded the title Career Ambassador; he received the Secretary of State’s Distinguished Service Award the following year.
Ambassador Grossman is a member of the Board of Directors of DynCorp International. He also serves on the Board of Directors/Trustees of a number of non-profit and educational institutions."
People like you that sit back like Democrats and Republicans are the SAME make me sick!! we are at WAR!!! Don't you have KIDS that you care about???? Do you want them parying to the moongod or be beheaded?? That's what we are dealing with here and the Democrats are on the terrorists side!!!
Powell was one of those people that the MSM jumped on as their own affirmative action candidate. I think it all went to his head and he really thought he was hot sh&*. I think he screwed up the first Gulf War.
Powell/Armitage are anti-Semite corrupt cowards that ahve a lot to answer for in this Wilson/Plame mess.
WRITE A BOOK!!! There is soooooo damn much to follow from these evil bastards that one can't keep up!!!
The Justice Department needs to investigate
PROSECUTORIAL ABUSE.
The prosecutor knew. And Armitage and Powell could have gone public when Judith Miller was arrested. No need to wait for prosecution of Libby.
They were public servants and the cause of this and they did not fulfill their public obligations regarding things of which they had REAL KNOWLEDGE and thus keep innocent people from being prosecuted.
I think there is a CRIMINAL OFFENSE here somewhere. With Powell, Armitage and/or Fitzgerald.
Arrest all THREE and squeeze their nuts.
Suzy Quzy, if a guy wants to spend like there's no tomorrow, if he wants to leave our borders open, if he wants an FTAA, if he doesn't mind playing footsie with the U.N., if he doesn't mind...
Look, we could banter back on forth on this, but I'll cut to the chase. A guy can do these things. If he can win votes, good for him (not necessarily the nation), but I won't soil myself by throwing my vote their way anymore.
Either a candidate will speak out on conservative issues and govern from a conservative position, or they'll be elected by someone else. I'll have no part of it.
I've seen too much slippage. I won't play along to get along any longer.

This makes me want to puke.
Do you think he's a FREAKING DICTATOR??? Don't you realize how many co-cabalist have undermined him??
That's true Suzy. Now, would you vote for Powell if he were the R candidate?
Don't forget Marc Grossman!!! He needs to be investigated!!
Powell is NOT an R....Thank God.....he's a corrupt coward.
He may have been affected by the media adulation. I didn't follow him quite close enough to comment on his Gulf War actions. I do think it was pre-ordained that we wouldn't go after Hussein. I'm not convinced Powell set that policy.
Thanks for the comments.
We need a new type of POST OFFICE
just to keep track of the BAD GUYS!
Keep the faith DoughtyOne. The Bible says when you see all these things coming to pass, look up for your redemption drawith nigh.
Remember the old Hymn.....He hideth my Soul in the Cleft of the Rock and covereth me there with His hand.
For some time there Powell's name was being thrown around as a good prospect for public office on an R ticket. Now Condi is. I believe that when we know more about Condi, we're going to find out she's a lot more like Powell than we would like to think today. If she were place on an R ticket, that being the case, I couldn't support her. That's all I'm saying. And of course that is predicated on her actually turning out to be a lot like Powell or some such.
Thanks.
this is why I like Rudy - he is outside this whole "circle" in DC.
