Powell rips Cheney: ‘My head isn’t exploding and I haven’t noticed any other heads exploding’
The Daily Caller ^ | August 28, 2011 | Jeff Poor

Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s memoir is released on Tuesday and it promises to give a lot of behind the scenes insight into the Bush administration.

But is it too tabloid-y? That’s a complaint coming from former Secretary of State Colin Powell. In an appearance on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS, Powell had a lot to say about how Cheney has been promoting his book.

“My head isn’t exploding and I haven’t noticed any other heads exploding in Washington, D.C. and the explosive part of the book is when Mr. Cheney says is explosive,” Powell said.

Lets not forget. Powell supports Obama, Eric Holder and thinks conservatives are racists.

Another affirmative action, plantation black finally getting his comeuppance.

GO Dick GO!

Colin Powell, to my mind, is nothing more than an affirmative-action hire who just happened to “be there” while guys like Norman Schwarzkopf were winning the first Gulf War. He puts me in mind of General Casey in “Mars Attacks,” although I have a suspicion that’s more than coincidence.

Same here. I’ll be picking it up when it is released. As for Powell, his 15 minutes are up. He needs to stick to kissing Barry’s ring and feet.

Didn’t Colin write a book that no one read? I am very tempted to get Cheney’s book and I never buy bios of living people.

If you read from Chapters 17 and 18 of H. Norman Schwarzhopf’s book “It doesn’t take a Hero” he didn’t have alot good to say about both Cheney and Powell.

October 8, 2008 CNN: “Former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced Sunday that he will be voting for Sen. Barack Obama, citing the Democrat’s “ability to inspire” (tell lies) and the “inclusive nature of his campaign (race card).”

“I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I’ll be voting for Sen. Barack Obama,” Powell said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Powell said he was concerned about what he characterized as a recent negative turn of Republican candidate Sen. John McCain’s campaign, such as the campaign’s attempts to tie Obama to former 1960s radical Bill Ayers.” (he didn’t like the truth being put out on the grand ‘inclusive’ historical black candidate)
________________________________

THUD! Colin Powell becomes irrelevant when he KNOWS his preferred candidate is a Marxist anti-American, totally against his own principles...but he’s an ‘inclusive’ man with one black gene.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it Powell who convinced Bush 41 not to drive into Bahgdad and take-out the other Hussein?

Powell should have been kicked out of the Army for negligence in the aftermath of Vietnam´s My Lai massacre, and we could have been spared having him in the national spotlight all these years since.

Powell says it is a “rehash” of events from 7 or 8 years ago?

Gee, let me think, maybe it’s because that’s when Cheney was in office?

Affirmative action General that supports an Affirmative action President.. both stand as blockages to race equality..

In America “some” are indeed a little more equal than others..

Colin! May I call you Colin? Well, anyway, Colin, please go visit the Wizard of Oz and see if he has an extra brain he could give to you! With a brain, maybe your head would explode!

Powell and Richard Armitage inflicted the Valerie Plame affair on the Bush administration. This is how vile Colin Powell is. A zero. A useless individual.
