Let's say Colin Powell decides to run as a Republican in 2000 (And convinces his wife to support him*), and wins in a landslide against Gore. What would his presidency be like? *he claims that the only reason he didn't run was because his wife threatened to leave him.

Powell fires back It's nice to see that Powell and other GOP moderates are stepping up to take the fight to the hardcore right-wingers. I hope this emboldens the "silent minority" of reasonable Republicans to stand up and speak out. We'll see...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20081017/pl_politico/14665 This may indeed clinch it for Obama. If this former General and Secretary of State feels comfortable and feels safe with Barak Obama as President, then we all can too.

Here's a Colin Powell quote I'm kicking myself for not spotting earlier (Stumbled on this while reading up on Afghanistan today. lt's news to everyone else) Remember the flak that Chomsky (and others) got for pointing out, just before the invasion of Afghanistan, that the U.S. demand that...

There is an excerpt in today's Washington Post. Will the pen prove mightier than the sword? http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/457351p-384797c.html

Anyone else hip to the idea of Bill Clinton being secretary of the UN? I heard Bob Beckle mention it and I had to admit it seemed like a good idea. To be honest, Colin Powell in his lame duck months of secretary of state has been doing amazing work. If it weren't for that error ridden report...

Breaking news on CNN. No link yet.

It is pretty clear that the extreme right hates Powell, judging from comments made here. I was just wondering, why? He has been totally loyal, done his job, consented to being the fall guy when he made the UN WMD speeches. His only faults appear to be that he doesn't agree with the Iraq...

Is that quote racist? Yes, no, or planet x.

From the Yahoo gateway or title page or home page or whatever. If you change the name of the event and the name of the leader, Powell might be talking about someone else......

He's had enough. 'Tired' Powell ready to go http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/05/06/1083635276895.html And he thinks the sanctions on Cuba are dumb.

Need to do a little illogical and irrational rant right now, so please excuse.... Aristide says he was kidnapped. Now, I really don't care one way or another, in the sense that he was a disaster, and what will replace him will be a disaster. Haiti is just plain a disaster. We will intervene...

There have been a number of reports in Australian newspapers over the past few days indicating that Australia's intelligence agencies queried the accuracy of information supplied to it regarding Iraq's WMD prior to the commitment to war in Iraq (and also several reports that Britain's...

Colin Powell and the bozoes in the Bush administration continue to play into al Qaida's hands. Al Qaida is massing along the Iran-Iraqi border, according to what I heard on a radio report of what CIA director George Tenet has just told Congress. To me, this is evidence of what I have been...
