Maybe Powell told Clinton to run from here mate by 2004!

[jlogajan]

the very real problem Powell has created by running in a different direction than Bush.

If Bush aint the boss, that's Bush's problem. Is he a man or a moose?

"This has been exacerbated by reports that Secretary Powell has been actively considering pursuing the Democratic Party nomination for the US Presidency in the 2004 election, with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as his running mate."

Maybe the stupidest think I've heard in months. Verrrry unlikely.

Hell yes it stupid If Powell run with Hillary ... Hillary would have Powell "gone" in someway in 6 mo.

It would just too good a set up for Hillary to pass on... pining it on the VRWC

LOL at pure BS.

The administration is playing a masterful game of "good cop, bad cop" while we get ready for Iraq. Powell is the "good cop" (as defined by liberals, the EU, and Muslims).

It's fun to watch masters at their game.

I think this report is a bunch of Europeans making trouble for Bush, myself.

"Sounds like disinformation to me." I agree.

ISSA is a private "NGO" run by Gregory Copley, who seem to be a bit of a conspiracy theorist. Copley was a vociferous opponent of the Kosovo campaign and reported that NATO sustained the following losses that were covered up by DOD: 38 combat aircraft, six helicopters, seven UAV's, "many" cruise missiles shot down and, get this, 12 US Green Beret casualties and 8 British SAS commandos all KIA. He also claimed a US Air Force pilot was secretly held as a POW.

I would not rely on this source without corroberation.

[Thud]

Ludicrous. Sounds like Debka. Where's Elvis?

[Dark Wing]

Jefford's flipping the Senate has got the Eurocrats a'Powell dreaming.

Remember when Abraham Lincoln was looking for a running mate for his second term? He approached General Benjamin Butler, who "jokingly" turned him down, saying he would run as VP only if Lincoln would promise to die in midterm, so Butler would be president. What Butler thought in April of 1865, when Andrew Johnson was sworn in, can only be imagined. Butler may have been tacky, but he was joking. Now, if Hilary! thinks the same way, but seriously.....

(That would have been quite an interesting sight on the circuit : Lincoln, (6'4") next to Butler (5'3").)
