4000 dead Americans and many more dead Iraqis say Powell is a P.O.S.

[Rex_Goodheart]

and will always be a P.O.S.

Obama doesn't need P.O.S. endorsements and I was hoping he'd turn it down.

[FrenchieCat]

1. So now what?

[Rex_Goodheart]

3. Well, we move on!

LOL

[Joe the Revelator]

2. See the entire playing field

[Skittles]

4. Obama would be a fool to "turn it down"

although I do agree with you that Powell is indeed a POS

[LynnTheDem]

5. As the spouse of a US Army soldier, after attending so many funerals of

our neighbors and friends, all dead for a politican's pack of lies that most people around the world KNEW -we didn't just "lucky guess", WE KNEW- were a pack of lies, I cannot and will not forgive those who were involved in causing the deaths and destruction of so many human beings who TO THIS DAY have not asked for forgiveness nor decried their role in the ILLEGAL AND UNPROVOKED INVASION of a nation that had done NOTHING whatsoever against us.


I give him credit for the remarks he made re Cpl. Khan; I give him credit for endorsing Sen. Obama.

I do not forgive him his role in causing Cpl. Kan's death.

6. Yeah, and I was hoping Dennis Kucinich would be the nominee.

Unfortunately, the real world doesn't doesn't quite fulfill our fantasies.

[Unsane]

7. Give it a rest.

Powell's endorsement may help elect the man who will overturn the policies you so detest!

[Clio the Leo]

8. um, yeah, it's really not cool to use the memory of those who have died...

.... for political purposes EITHER way.

I vote we let them rest in peace.

[jonnyblitz]

10. that's why I thought it tacky Powell took cover behind the story

of Corporal Khan. most of the easily manipulated here were in tears with praise over this shameless act.

[Clio the Leo]

16. totally different situation........

..... he wasn't using the situation to directly knock the other party but to address the larger issue that we as Americans too often bash those of the Islamic faith.

Acceptable exception IMO.

[SeattleGirl]

9. Aaaaaaaaaand, you know this HOW?

:shrug:

[ProSense]

11. Here's what Obama

said.

[rug]

17. "a great soldier, a great statesman, and a great American "

This picture gets filed where?

[ProSense]

21. Send it to Obama.

He made the comment.

[progressiveforever]

12. Rex, your bringing this up show me that you do have a good heart, I know you do,

Colon Powell did some bad things, but they were done reluctanctly and without malice--I think he want to redeem this. I'm not ready to bring him in the Democratic fold, but his endorsement was solid-based in fact and well thought out. He was sincere, I may not trust Powell for a while, but I am glad he is on our side where we can watch him/

[BlooInBloo]

13. They don't matter to DUers.

[goletian]

14. wasnt powell duped by the bush admin like everyone else?

[Motown_Johnny]

15. I only hope you hold everyone who voted for the war to the same standard

[RoadRage]

18. Hello nose.. meet knife..

I'd like to cut you off, just to piss off my face. That will teach my face.. Hahahaha.. stupid face.

:eyes:

[Colobo]

19. Powell made a terrible mistake, but at least he's trying to fix it.

[Drunken Irishman]

20. Yes! Who cares about Powell? I'd rather he back McCain and we lose this election.

For there could be 4,000 more dead Americans!

You rock!

:bounce:

[Heather MC]

22. Fuck this nonsense, seriously, it's been well documented Bush planned to invade Iraq

BEFORE 9/11, Powell was not going to stop him.
He was fed the same line of bullshit we all were

Bottom Line Bush wanted to one up his father so over 4000 soldiers had to die.

The only Powell could have stopped this, is if he played bring a gun to work day, and shot the Administration, because nothing short of Death was going to Keep Bush from playing cowboys and indians with real live people.

The buck stops at Bush/ Cheney, they did this, they planned this, long before Bush stole the White House. And lets face it, the greatest trick of the devil was to convince the world he didn't exist

Bush made alot of people believe he was something other than what he was. IT's easy to point fingers now, when you know it all.

Powells is apart of the Republican party that still has a shred of decency and respect to it.
He thought that's what he was dealing with, when he learned other wise it was to late but at least he left, not like Condi who is in lock step with that fool
