Whoo, he is pissed, and rightfully so.
He should have said, "That's why he's the FORMER..."
Gloves coming off?
Good thinking -- I concur.
He's on a roll now.
IT'S A DANGEROUS WORLD!
ack....he has to answer media mutt questions...the 1st being what you said!
First press question comes from a "girlie man"; Terry somebody...Prez told him we didn't ask for this war but this enemy has struck us and they want to strike us again and we will give our people the necessary tools to protect us....
Prez has fire in his eyes.

Barney, Beasley! RUN!!!!
The FACTS are that after 9/11 they continued to attack and kill people.
It was an insulting question.
stupid gregory was on Imus this morning...
he ACTUALLY said he had no reason to believe Iran would not uphold geneva conventions. Oh the guffaws!! They groaned and laughed and Imus said they should have as many secret prisons and torture them as much as they want!!
First time I've agreed with Imus in a long time.
LOL. And there is much more about Powell that is flawed than just his logic.
Yep he is, and I'm glad to see it.
You see that, McCain and Powell, you have made MANY of us MAD!
I think the daily briefings is what has President Bush fired up.......
Thank you W. Keep us the excellent work. Your who americans want in the white house not cut and run liberals.
Now a question about McCain's statement.
Something everyone here should read about Powell:
