Powell immediately denied the report.

“I do not have time to waste on Bill Kristol’s musings,” Powell told ABC News. “I am not going to the convention. I have made this clear.”

No surprise.

He's always been a Trojan Horse in the Republican Party.

This is no suprise to me, if true. This guy is one of the biggest reasons we had to deal with Saddam again in 2003 when we should have deposed him in 91.

If this is true, then race trumps principles for Mr. Powell...

Rumor probably floated by Obama campaign. I'll believe it when I hear from Powell, not from the MSM.

I have always thought Colin Powell was greatly over rated. Now, I know he was.
