If the RNC was more like the Vatican, this guy would have been excommunicated and expelled from the party a long time ago.

One could ask Powell how many ambassadors died on his watch...which was zero. He’d sort of grin and admit that was true, but you can’t compare one era against another era. Then you’d ask him if he had ever disapproved security at any ambassador’s residence, and he’d grin and admit no.

End of story.

You can get authority from the president for the military to cross the border and rescue them.

Instead of letting them die.

You can’t keep everything from happening. True.

Gun crimes will still happen with gun control or bans.

Attacks can still happen on embassy guarded with guns and off site support ready to come to their aid..

But the outcomes are much different Powell.. You should know that by now.

Please check out Colin Powell's lengthy assault on the Republican Party during the same “Meet The Press” interview.

Powell claims he is “still” a Republican, even after endorsing Obama twice.

Powell claims “There is a dark vein of intolerance” in the GOP.

David Gregory sets him up for several minutes of anti-Republican criticism.

Powell's solution?

Republicans must become more like Democrats - what else?

Here's the video link:

Colin wants Hillary to get a free pass like he did in the Mai Lai Massacre in Viet Nam. His Affirmative Action promotions put him in an insulated position so that he couldn’t be criticised because he was a Negro!

From the article,
“I think the Republican Party right now is having an identity problem, and I’m still a Republican,” Powell said. “But in recent years, there’s been a significant shift to the right, and we have seen what that shift has produced: two losing presidential campaigns.”

Powell ...will ...never ...get ...it.

ME protests: the hardline 'tele-Islamist' who brought anti-Islam film to Muslim world's attention

...but nobody had paid attention to its crude libels against the Prophet Mohammed until Mr Abdullah's show broadcast clips from it last weekend,... - Sept. 8-9

Egypt intelligence warns (on Sept 4th) of attacks on Israel, US embassies

Congress was warned about Libya last month

Libyan president: 'No doubt' attack 'preplanned' (Magariaf on Face the Nation)

"It was planned, definitely. It was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago. And they were planning this criminal act since their arrival," Magariaf said.

No demonstration before attack on US Consulate, source says

"The intelligence source said no protests were happening before the attackers struck at about 9:35 p.m. local time last Tuesday. The account backs up claims by a purported Libyan security guard who told McClatchy Newspapers late last week that the area was quiet before the attack."

Source: Slain ambassador Stevens said he was on al Qaeda list

WASHINGTON - In the months leading up to his death, Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, worried about constant security threats in Benghazi and mentioned that his name was on an al Qaeda hit list, a source familiar with his thinking told CNN.

Report: Never an Anti-American Protest in Benghazi, Only a Planned Attack (CBS Video Report)

-------------------------------------------------

(Ambassador) RICE: -- "was a result, a direct result of a heinous and offensive video that was widely disseminated, that the US government had nothing to do with,..."

U.S. denies premeditation report

"The Obama administration is flatly denying a blaring British newspaper report that the U.S. diplomats in Libya were killed as a result of a “continuing security breach,” and that “credible information” about possible attacks had been ignored. A U.S. official told POLITICO: “There's no intelligence indicating that the attack in Benghazi was premeditated.”"

No doubt about it. There is no intelligence in the 0bama administration.

At first I thought Powell was just a latent racist with heavy leftist leanings. A bitter, old Jimmy Carter type.

Now that he just keeps showing up and saying some really "out there" things, I am entertaining the notion that maybe he's been promised a seat at the table in the new globalist order or thinks he's secured a place for his in the new power elite.

I think Powell is as fed up with the republicans as I have been. If no one will stand for the right, the true right, what good does lip service do. I would like to think he is against the republicans 100 percent. But not against America.

Looks like Obama is finally using Tool Powell as a disinformation agent. He's speaking out in favor of both Hagel and Clinton today.

I was wondering when this would happen. Looks like Obama's been hiding Powell in his quiver for use in the 2nd term.
