At the second annual Hanway Lecture in Global Studies at Loyola University Maryland Oct. 22, former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell suggested that, despite his prestige, he is now just an ordinary person.
“I’m just (another) guy on the street now,” Powell said, after noting tongue in cheek that he no longer has his own airplane, which he “misses very badly.”
Powell also no longer has bodyguards – which he says were conspicuous even when he simply wanted to walk down a New York City block to buy a hotdog.
The former four-star general spoke candidly before several thousand at Reitz Arena, drawing on a background which included being the Secretary of State to President George W. Bush and National Security Advisor to President Ronald Reagan, his time in ROTC, his 35 years in the U.S. Army and his work in education, to share his viewpoint on current events, economics, politics and technology.

Why would anything Colin Powell say matter? (other than he get’s a hundred grand a pop to say it)
ISGAS
I Scarcely Give A ......
Just another RINO in the herd.
I love how Colon Pile pretends like he didn’t know that he was citing bogus intelligence when he made his case for war in Iraq. Pretty hard to believe he made it as far as he did while being that stupid.
Another affirmative action big frog in a little pond wanting attention. Very tiresome from people old enough to know better.
:) Everyone else beat me to it. I was about to say: “Colin Powell weighs in on world scene” grabs my intellectual ambition to read the article about as much as would the title, “Chris Matthews weighs in on his favourite types of cheese”...
Never forget that this weenie didn’t run for president because his wife wouldn’t let him.
Colin L. Powell was the original infiltrator.
I’ve had no use for Powell since he has taken credit for Storming Norman’s end run strategy during the 1st Iraq war, he wanted an across the line frontal assault like WWI and had to be overridden by Bush I.

Colon Bowell doesn’t even qualify as a RINO. Maybe he qualifies as a Quisling, but don’t you have to be an American first?
Yep. He has a real sterling resume. Another Freeper posted a link to his heavy involvement in the My Lai massacre back in Nam. But they threw Lt. Calley under the bus to avoid soiling their Golden Boy with any responsibility whatsoever.
A racist living high on the hog off of WORKING AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colon Bowell is full of gas.
Why does anyone care what this idiot has to say?
Go away, Powell.
