I have lost all respect for Colin Powell. What a POS he has become.

Looks like Mama Powell named her little boy correctly

Colin!

Sadly I never had any.

IMO He was a messenger boy for George's daddy, he carried messages back and forth between Schwarkoff and the President, he wasnt a planner or a big deal in the first Desert Storm, highly over rated, and in his job as secretary of state for George W. his heart was never in the game and he was way over his head.

He was black therefore he was an asset, he knew it and used it, but greatness simply wasnt in him nor, sadly it seems was, loyalty.

That's the thing about FR, you don't really need to post because someone else has already posted your thought, ditto.

"What a POS he has become."

According to someone I know who served with him, he was always pretty much that way. Whatever got him ahead, no matter who got stepped on.

I didn't like Powell when he went caterwauling during the first Gulf War, especially "The Highway of Death".

Even less when I listened to the audio book of "The Commanders".

From what I have learned, he may always have been a POS.

Powell will soon join the democratic party...he is now as "loved" in the GOP as McCain.

I used to have enormous respect for him, even bought his book. But to have allowed the Bush administration to dangle in the wind like that, when all the while he could have stopped it, is nothing short of despicable.
