Former Secretary of State and Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell backed the Iran deal on Sunday. The retired statesman, who played a key role in the push for war in Iraq, later supported Barack Obama for president.
Powell made his announcements on NBC News Meet the Press on Sunday. My judgment
is that its a pretty good deal. Powell said that while Iran could continue working toward a nuclear weapon when the deal expires, the agreement would at least slow that down. We have stopped this highway race that they were going down. Powell added that they get nothing in terms of sanctions relief until they show compliance, which repeats a White House talking point, but ignores the fact that sanctions will be lifted when Iran has only begun to show compliance.

Colon Bowel is a Democrat pretending to be a Republican because otherwise the mainstream presstitutes wouldn't care what he thinks.

Powell has always been a Democrat in terms of his political viewpoints
he does not belong in the R party, but as the party of inclusiveness and abolition, no R leader ever had the guts to tell him to get out

RINOs are de facto Democrats. That’s why we call them the Uniparty.

Powell and the Donks own this.
I hope we can shove it up their backside before we get hit.

He’s no different from Boehner, McConnell, Graham or the rest of the RINOs. Who is to say he doesn’t belong in their country club?

Colin was smart enough to know that he could play the GOPe for fools by claiming to be a Republican. The GOPe is so desperate for "diversity" over principle that they gladly took Powell under their wings - he was their pet.
If Powell had declared himself a Democrat, he would just be one of the other 97%. He would have been lost in the crowd.

Such a frikkin’ idiot. And to think so many on this forum thought he was a conservative at one time. The guy’s an affirmative action boob and a total fraud.

One of the first things I learned in life was to skeptical of old men who used to powerful big shots who have since retired, especially politicians and generals.
The minute they leave office they go a major withdrawal from power,importance and income that is worse than a junkie going cold turkey off heroin
Even the best are at least tempted when someone comes around and offers them the chance to be a player again, even if it means shilling for some crazy thing they would have opposed when in office, especially in they are also getting money as well.

Obama hasn’t stopped Iran on the road to anything.
Iranians have a nuclear detonator test facility on a military base that’s off limits to inspectors.

When he stopped Bush 41 from finishing the Job in the 1991 Gulf War, I knew exactly what he was.
Never cared about what he did or said after that.

Colin’s tears haven’t stopped falling yet. His man-crush is still in the giggly stage.

"...the agreement would at least slow that down. Oh, has it occurred to all these ignorant democrats - that they might feel safe for now, what about when the 10 years go by, I guess our kids will be turned to glass.
But mullah powell, what about that 150 billion; ya.... think that Iran will just save all that to spend on Halloween candy?

Every day we get a better picture of the expansive size of America’s communists empire. It is no wonder America is crashing. Powell is a fool.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
No, Colin Powell is a racist and a coward who let Scooter Libby swing in the wind when he knew the entire time that Libby was not the source of the leak. A despicable pr4ck.
