In Secretary of State Colin Powell's autobiography, My American Journey, he says, "I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed managed to wangle slots in the Army Reserve and National Guard units... Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country."

3. Oh MY !!

that ought to come back to bite him on the butt

4. So this is why he was so bristly today....

that old saying that "I think he doth protest
too much."

He is caught between a rock and hard spot, he
dares not say what he really thinks about AWOL
yet he does not want to lie by supporting him.

He should resign.....

6. In July

the Iraq debacle will be transferred to The State Dept. and Powell will be the fall guy. If he doesn't resign soon not only will he be a liar but a stupid liar.

8. This part is even better imho

From the very next paragraph ...

As a Purple Heart veteran and former infantryman in South Korea in 1950 with orders to "hold or die," I assure you that no Vietnam War coward who makes it to the White House and the title "Mr. President" will ever have my respect, let alone honor.


WoooooHooo! WOW!
