Have we heard any peep from Colin Powell?

[grasswire]

We've heard from his former aide.

Has Powell said a word in this campaign?

He voted for Obama.

His endorsement again might sway some moderate Republicans.

Where is he?

Surely he sees the calamity ahead, with Romney.

[Wounded Bear]

1. Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.....

He was dead to me after the UN debacle. Too bad, he's probably the only Republican I might have voted for over the last 20-30 years or so.

I'm glad he endorsed Obama before. Now, .

[graham4anything]

2. He strategically waited til the correct moment in 2008...I expect the same this year

Just yesterday afternoon, I told my wife we have a few great moments of surprise waiting to help President Obama.

This was one of them.

I expect his endorsement in a few weeks after the last debate so he can say he weighed it carefully.

Now some dems don't like what he did in the leadup to Iraq.

I find that irrelevant, and his word resonates througout the USA

I fully expect him to continue to fight the war in politics with the current President Barack Obama.

Old generals do NOT cut and run in the middle of the war.

14. That was on Oct 19 in 2008. As you say, it was timely. and turned republican heads around.

3. Colin Powell Trashes Mitt Romney's Team Of Foreign Policy Advisers

Posted: 05/23/2012

WASHINGTON -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell on Wednesday questioned Mitt Romney's choice in foreign policy advisers, saying that some are so right-wing that the advice they give deserves "second thought."

"I don't know who all of his advisers are, but I've seen some of the names and some of them are quite far to the right. And sometimes they might be in a position to make judgments or recommendations to the candidate that should get a second thought," Powell said during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

He gave the example of Romney recently saying that Russia is the "number one geopolitical foe" to the United States.

"Come on Mitt, think," Powell said. "That isn't the case."

6. that was in May

Hopefully he will comment again.

[orpupilofnature57]

4. He's still getting the taste of Shrub out of his mouth.

Great man, lousy liar.

[Iggy]

5. I don't need to hear from him-- thank you.

After hearing Powell hawking his so called book on the Diane Rehm show earlier this year-- where
she totally put him on the spot regarding the fact there were NO WMD's in Iraq... and
hearing Powell repeat at least three times-- "well, all our agencies said there were, soo...."

Powell totally ignores the fact that the State Departement advised:

1. there were no WMD's in Iraq.

2. there was no al Qaeda presense in Iraq-- because Hussein had his people kill them if they came
in to the country.

Powell has ZERO credibility now, and he knows it.

[grasswire]

7. He may have lost your faith, but he still has considerable influence.

And I will take anti-Romney influence from any quarter. Colin Powell's influence is still sought after.

[jsr]

8. Exactly. He CHOSE to argue for war.

[Iggy]

9. At Least 500,000 Iraqi Children Dead

warmongers/war profiteers like Powell, Albright, etc., have to carry this on their consciences...

Not me.

[JI7]

10. Doesn't matter , he has credibility among moderate low info types and it will help us

if he endorses Obama again.

[Barack_America]

11. He's still shaking his head over Romney's "Russia" comments.

"C'mon, Mitt, THINK!"

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. Colin reportedly went to a cushy job at Time Warner who are supposedly majority-owned by the Saudis.

[UTUSN]

13. Course not!1 He covered up My Lai for his old white males & ever after n/t

[madokie]

15. Thats what sticks in my craw too

He pretty much has admitted his mistake in believing the bush/cheney pair so I give him a pass on that one but My Lai not so much.

[tarheelsunc]

16. He may have supported Obama, but he donated to McCain

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

17. That was in the primaries

McCain was probably the only one he found acceptable.

[JI7]

19. yeah, and it was Palin which really got him to come out and

endorse Obama.

[Oilwellian]

18. I created a video after Powell's 2008 endorsement

Ironically, it would fit equally well in today's campaign.
