Rep. Allen West is never short on words and this time is no exception. During a town hall meeting in Florida recently, West was asked some questions about his past, in particular an incident that occurred while he was still on active duty in the Army serving in Iraq. A little background:
Intent on foiling a reported plot to ambush him and his men, Colonel West, a battalion commander, made a calculated decision to intimidate the Iraqi officer with a show of force. An interrogation under way was going nowhere, Colonel West said in an interview, and he chose to take the matter into his own hands.
''This could get ugly,'' he told his soldiers. But, he said, he imposed limits: ''This man will not be injured and he will not have to be repaired. There will be no blood and no breakage of bones.''
Still, Colonel West wanted the Iraqi policeman, Yehiya Kadoori Hamoodi, to think ''this was going to be the end'' if he did not divulge what he knew. So Colonel West presided over what he considered a time-sensitive interrogation that grew steadily more abusive until he himself fired a pistol beside Mr. Hamoodi's head.
So, in true West fashion he said, "If you want to go back talk about what happened nine years ago to me, let's talk about the President doing blow."

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t he the key man in pushing to stop well before Baghdad in Gulf I? If so he laid the seeds for Gulf II along with lots of slaughter in between.
Yeah, that My Lai Massacre cover up didn't go too well with Powell in charge.
Colin Powell: Not the Man You Think
FReegards!
The even greater disgrace (and threat to the continued existence of our country) are the “American Turds” who voted for, and will vote for FUBO!
Earl Butz was right.
While on the subject of Obama and blow, let’s discuss the LSD and glue. How much of that hallucinogen infused, discombobulated, mush puddle of a brain works, and how much needs the control of the teleprompter?
Thanks! Glad you liked my proposal!
Let's see what we can do to convince Romney that that team is in his and everone's best interest!
FReegards!
I give Powell credit for being a hard worker and a reasonably diligent soldier, but there is nothing in his resume (other than his skin color) which would justify the speed of his promotions.
Your average West Point graduate might retire as a bird colonel with a service record similar to Colin Powell, particularly if most of his career is in peacetime. Not that there's anything shameful about retiring as a colonel. Good operational officers at this level is really what determines military excellence.
That's because lefties are mostly brain-dead idiots who are just like the low-life in the hut.
They can be bought for almost nothing.
I knew it,Obama is a homo!
EXCELLENT !!!!!

he did the real posting
on an earlier thread.
The mooch has a list of things she's trying to accomplish...We The People have a list of things to do as well...first, these two traitors and their hacks, marxists/communists/maoists/revolutionaries are tried, then they go to jail. WE WILL NOT FORGET.
“Allen West is a national treasure.”
Yup. That’s why the Progressive scu*bags don’t like him.
IMHO
We just have to vote O out, and add West as VP then maybe we can get West in as P next time...
