Most of these third party orphan losers couldn't tie Powell's shoes. Their hate mantras on this man are right in the arena of racism, which they could never admit.

I like to ask those who love Sharon and hate Powell what they thought of Reagan. Reagan strongly trusted Powell and made him his National Security Advisor. Reagan also burned Begin's ears over the Beirut invasion (deliberately using the word "holocaust"), and actively pushed the Israelis to remove Sharon from the cabinet once the facts came out.

Has it occurred to anybody that Powell and Condi Rice are being "good cop/bad cop" with the combatants in the region? Powell is the "good cop" with the Arabs, Condi is with the Israelis.

Thanks, I had forgotten about the Powell/Reagan connection.

Unfornately many of the Powell haters and anti GWers on anything he does re the Middle East, don't like Sharon either. They are 24/7 Bibi fans. Bibi is not the man in charge in Israel. The man in charge in Israel is Sharon, and our man is GW. They both are doing a good job in a terrible situation. So called allies that hammer both of them 24/7 are not allies. They play right into the hands of the Islamic Thugs.
