WASHINGTON -- Retired Gen. Colin Powell offered a vigorous defense of Chuck Hagel’s nomination as the next Defense secretary, even as the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee added questions about Hagel’s temperament to lawmakers’ other concerns about the nominee, particularly his position on Israel.
Powell, former secretary of State to President George W. Bush and a widely respected member of the GOP, had voiced strong support for Hagel shortly after President Obama named the former Nebraska senator as his choice to replace Leon E. Panetta. On Sunday, Powell spelled out further why he regards Hagel as “superbly qualified” for the job.

Colon Swine.
Another polished turd fit to be tarred, feathered and railed. And then flogged.
The name Colin...is so fitting.....
I offer my arse to colostomy bowel to kiss.
LLS
Hagel is no more qualified for Sec of Defense than Colin Bowel was when he was promoted to any officer rank he ever held. I can vividly remember him jumping over about 200 more senior officers to become Chairman of the JCS. He was and always has been the face of affirmative action, in and out of the US military. Him stabbing the republican party (without republicans he would have retired a Lt Col at best) and coming out and having the unmitigated gall to say Obama was more qualified to be commander in chief than John McCain, then Romney, should tell anyone this is a man of no integrity whatsover.
What else would expect Powell has played the role of a brother from another mother to the point he is no longer relevant.
Colon Bowel is a Rat Traitor...
It is no supprise he would endorse a Scumbag Like hagel
Colon Bowel also is making excuses for the Rat Hag Hillary
They are all Enemies of Freedom.
A willing useful idiot...
Colin’s name was about 3 feet to short. It should have been A-hole.
He would.
“and a widely respected member of the GOP”
Chortle.
Yep, now I’m 100% opposed to his nomination.
and a widely respected member of the GOP,
This pretty much sums up the problems with the Republican Party.
I’ll begin donating to the RNC again the day they read this SOB out of the Pubican Party.
Screw Colon Bowel.
RNC is dead. They refuse to read the memo
Colin Powell could not even put down his own race riots. He asked for the BDE S3 SGM, a man who was White Star in the late 50’s.Powell, yes, Powell had lied and lied on his URR’s and his track vehicle status report’s. I asked his top NCO IN THE MOTOR POOL ON THE DMZ IF ANY 113 WAS COMBAT READY? NO. I DEADLINED ALL.
POWELL IS A LIAR, AND; HE WAS NOTHING BEFORE AA.
You are correct. Gen Emerson never spent five minutes with Powell. Powell is full of BS.
If Colin’s for it..... count me as agin’ it!
