That would be a yuuuuuuge improvement over Goofdell. (Of course, so would a pile of manure.)

Pretty much every controversial American military action since vietnam has involved colin powell.

Like what?

He was successful during desert storm. The most controversial thing he has probably done was convince the world the US needed to bring down the Saddam regime, however; he was given CIA data that had been manipulated in order to convince him the US had to go into Iran... Because, president Bush, and others, at the time, knew that if they could sell Powell on it, he would be able to sell everyone else.

do the Harlem Renaissance - the civil rights stuff gets overplayed

so you want a man that was duped by bush to be president? you really believe colin powell did not know the facts?

Do some research on colin powells role in covering up the My Lai Massacre in vietnam. Look some more into his role in the iran contra coverup.

Dude is a scumbag and not a man of honor like is portrayed.

There's a chapter on that in the book, Bloody Sundays, by Mike Freeman. Pretty good insight on her and IMO she'd be a legit commish. This was a pretty good write-up on her being selected for the playoff committee.

If hypothetically Condi would have ran against any white male democratic, she would have swept the south.

I would have loved to see liberals spin that one.

I'd like to nominate volod to be highlighted in the next thread.

From graduating straight to engineer VII at DOTD, he did what no other man black or white has ever done.

Yep. I wanna know if Powell was duped by the Bush.Cheney.Rumsfield crowd, or did he know and just fricking lie to us.

I generally like him, but he is tainted by the sales pitch he gave us on Iraq. He was either a sucker or a liar.

you really think a guy that made his way to SOS was duped on something as big as going to war with a country? look back at his past. colin powell has a history of telling lies and covering up what his puppet masters tell him to take care of. In exchange they build him up to be this great honorable man so that they can use him as a pawn.

not to mention he was recently busted for cheating on his wife of 50 years when his emails got hacked, but you never hear a peep about that in the media. That doesnt bother me as much as the other shite that he has done... but its just crazy seeing people blindly saying how great and honorable of a man powell is when he is really just a pawn and a piece of shite.
