Just another in a long line of faux black conservatives.

Im too young to remember but I read somewhere that Powell was the Bush higher up who swore under oath that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq which led to a war in the Middle East. Can somebody please confirm this?

The inner core of a nuclear reactor is radioactive fuel rods which provide heat that powers whatever.
The inner core of Colin Powell has, in my opinion, always been RACE. Deep, deep down in his inner core, he hates whitey!
He managed to hide it from whitey and latch on to affirmative action to become a successful military officer while whitey, needing to have another black general officer to make the “feel good boys” in the military hierarchy smile, just overlooked Colin’s racism.
Now comes Donald Trump, the penultimate “white boy” and Colin, not being able to suppress his inner self, just hates him.

“the retreat from the world stage” ?????
He obviously has his head buried somewhere.

You have cause and effect confused.
He gave testimony at the UN and later came to believe that some of the incidents he displayed were pumped up.
He felt betrayed by Cheney/CIA and by Rumsfeld on those issues. Minor butt-hurt.

There is no “retreat from the world stage” — that is an idiotic claim. There is a fundamental CHANGE in how the US admin. DEALS with “the world stage” — we no longer grovel and let our enemies or fake friends dictate our policies.
Powell is part of the bad old complacent globalist elite (self-styled elite) that has been rudely shoved aside by POTUS Trump.
Screw you, Colon Powell.

The country thanks you, Colin Powell, for the Iraq War. You’re such an astute analyst of situations.

“If it werent for the great General Norman Schwarzkopf, nobody would know the name Collin Powell.”
A friend was stationed at Fort Stewart, GA when Stormin Norman was there.
He said Swarzkopf was the real deal. The best officer of any rank he saw during his 20 years in the military.
Powell always came off as a pampered prince at best.

The filthy dirtbag affirmative action negro needs to just STFU. Another Bush mistake.
To: Kevin in California
Powell is one of the biggest Affirmative Action beneficiaries (almost as much as Obama). And, his performance in the positions he held reflected that.

“...he retreat from the world stage..”
How can anyone make such a statement. During the past two years, the President has been more involved on the world stage than any President in history. He has restored peace in more places than you can count on your fingers and is finally restoring some world order. The man is a genius!!!
