Right Joe, and if we followed you and 0bama’s advice on the surge instead of the only man who stuck his neck and his career in pushing it, our military men and women would be being slaughtered still. Just like the scum libs, others do the work and they just try to take the credit.
Powell the putz!
No, it merely brings in to question that Colin Powell should have ever been trusted and risen to the level that he has. If he puts race over ability, or just doesn’t see the absolute ineptness of Barry, he should never have made the rank that he did nor SoS.
By Biden’s logic, Powell’s endorsement of George W. Bush means that every liberal smear of the current president was false.
The Republican Party was saying that from the very beginning, Joe? I don't recall you being a Republican, Joe, when you said exactly the same thing.
It makes no real difference and if it did biden would not have to make the statement he did. A lot of us never considered Powell to be a good choice for anything. He wasn’t the hero of any campaign, he was the CJCS and a political general who advanced through the ranks by who he knew and who he blew. A real general and leader is someone like Schwartzkopf, Chesty Puller, George Patton, Howlin Mad Smith. But then again field commanders and leaders are rarely promoted too far beyond the level that the political generals can control.
This means the media can stop covering Biden and Obama appearances, right?
No more questions?
If Obama was white and McCain was black, who do you think Colin Powell would have endorsed???
Besides, isn't it hypocritical to have been so anti-war and then pick Colin Powell who was the one who went to the U.N. and presented the evidence on WMD's to kick off the Iraq War?
Isn't this a slap in the face of his base? How would this impress moderates that didn't want us in Iraq?
Both Biden and Gen. Powell seem curiously unaware of troop sentiment.
The Military Times (Army, Navy, Marines, Airforce) surveyed nearly 4,300 readers and published the results in the October 08 editions.
John McCain received a CIC preference of 68 percent to Obama’s 23 percent.
Powell’s endorsement of a person for CIC who sat like a toad in an ostensible church and took in for 20 years the rabid villification and cursing of America is more than repugnant - it is terribly, terribly sickening.
saying that with his choice of Obama over John McCain, questions about the Illinois senator's ability to be commander-in-chief will be put to rest.Why? Because President George W. Bush and President George H.W. Bush both hired Powell? Thanks Joe Biden! You *are* a political genius.
Limbaugh: Where are the inexperienced, white liberals Powell has endorsed?
