Reply #25: Colin Powell who is a yes man who lied to Congress and the UN [View All]

and embarassed us in the eyes of the world. He also allowed his credibility to be exploited to help push Congress into voting for the IWR.

He started his career with a cover up of the My Lai massacre.

Bill Clinton asked him to stay on as Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He refused. I have also heard that it was Powell who refused to implement gays serving openly in the military.

When he was SOS, he stood by and did not make a peep on behalf of the American people when his son was FCC chairman and tried to shut the public out of the airwaves - even though he stood to benefit greatly if such a change to media ownership rules took place due to the large amount of Time-Warner stock he owned.

I dislike both Powell and Rice, but I am tired of people acting as if he's some kind of plaster saint. I reject the notion of a Democrat taking Powell on in his or her administration.
