Sneed: Powell may be poised to endorse Clinton (guess the date)
Chicago Sun Times ^ | August 11, 2016 | Michael Sneed

Posted on 08/17/2016 7:32:41 PM PDT by CreviceTool

Is retired four-star Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican, getting close to a presidential endorsement of his former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton? Betting? Well, Sneed hears it’s a good bet to hit the “Yes” button. Slap shot: Although Powell has tried to stay out of politics and has jokingly claimed he remains a Republican “because it annoys them,” an endorsement would not be a surprise.

Powell put his UN address together himself. He went to the CIA to talk to analysts in detail and make his own best assessments to present to the UN. He may blame Bush and CHeney but that is totally unfair. Powell did what he did, based upon what seemed like the best intel assessments at the time. Ofc, all the leading intel agencies in 2002 thought that Saddam had WMDs (and he did have some, just not as many as feared).

Powell should have been KICKED OUT of the Army for his (in)actions improperly following-up the massacre at My Lai, Vietnam by American forces, when he was then G-2 to the commanding general of Americal Division, I Corps.

Powell is just a (former) closet liberal military man who accepted the advancements offered by Republican presidents. His endorsement would have little value to whomever he might give it.

Colin Powell is a sleazy azz democrat. He used the Republicans to get his promotion. He was their token. He has always been a democrat sleaze. I would be willing to bet he has never voted for a Republican. Just wish I could prove it. I often wondered how many soldiers he sacrificed to get his ticket punched. He is a fraud

I *KNOW* I’m supposed to care about a washed-up fake-ass RINO Republican affirmative-action General, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why.

“He endorsed Hussein, too.”

Exactly, and we can see how well that one turned out.

I’d guess 9-11. Because it would annoy people.

And in fact, Powell is a perfect Republican, which is just one wing of the ruling class. His beliefs echo those of Romney, the Bushes, those smart people at National Review, etc.

Powell was only a republican because it suited his political latter climbing interests at the time. There, he proved he was not the sharpest knife in the drawer, to put it mildly.

So he goes back to his natural party, the democrats. His circle is complete.

-—”his former secretary of state”? When did Powell appoint the SOS?
