Thank you for your service.

With all due respect, Powell took an oath. That oath had nothing to do with politics and had everything to do with defending the Constitution. I believe he has lost his way.

With all respect, you are clueless. He is retired, as I am. We have all of our Constitutional rights, including to engage in politics. We had restrictions when we were wearing the uniform, but it doesn't apply now. Ignorance can be remedied.

Because Collin was always a Democrat. He just put an R by his name to help with his career.

Wants the VP spot ???

A convenient staircase tumble by Biden away from the Presidency.

Hillary ‘off the table’ - as being virtually suicide for Biden.

Was he retired when he was telling us there WMD in Iraq?

I’m not clueless or ignorant. Neither are you. Names and labels change nothing.

He must feel just terrible about voting for Trump in 2016.

Wait a minute, he didn't vote for Trump in 2016.

So, this is news?

"Is Powell preparing to be the VP nominee?"

Maybe he could wear a dress - what's better than a black female running mate? A black "transitioning" running mate!

Ya know. Colon Bowell has always been a stealth Democrat... I wonder if he even voted for Bush, despite getting the job offers.

Ok. Let’s just end this right here. I personally know too many people who buried their children over that lie.

We destroyed that country and NEVER produced the WMD. You know that.

Do you want to debate Richard Armitage, Valerie Plame and Scooter Libby? What honorable person does that?

Defend him all you want. Powell lost his way.
