I was duly UNimpressed with his military leadership in the gulf war.

IMO, any success we had was in spite of his leadership, not because of it. He seemed more like a political animal than a military one. At least based on what I learned from my father, a 3 war Marine. He was rarely less than 100% correct on his analysis of military matters.

And Powell’s racist side which came into full view after leaving the service was not appealing, to say the least.

I’ll bet, upon further analysis, Bowel is very similar to the Kenyan.

I remember those stories very well.

A lot of service members came forward and said he simply does not like whites and he does not hide it.

Some of the talk may have come from dems making false claims because polls showed he would beat Clinton if he ran against him, but not all of the talk was from dems simply making false claims.

Powell puts black first.
