Powell schmowell. Who cares?

Here’s a little known tidbit about Powell.

He’s not very bright.

He’s not a good writer. Go find something he’s written. It’s horrible. (And bad writing is indicative of bad thinking.)

Thanks for the obamacrimes URL. I wonder how much press it will get. It needs to be spread around.

Javelin: What an ugly little comment from an ugly little mind, cool alias withstanding.

Happy to offend you.

Javelin: It’s pinheads like you that have driven out all but the most petty, bullying anti-intellectual cretins from the GOP.

Yet still numerous enough to be a voting majority in 00 and 04. Your objectivity having been established, let’s see what other gems you have to offer…

Javelin: You are nothing but a windbag of empty slogans and putdowns.

As opposed to the *substance* that you’re offering?!?

Go find a mirror, you twit.

Put this together with the following URL and then ask yourself if judges are bought off or in this case will the judge enforce the law.

According to Bob Woodword’s dynamic The War Within, Powell counselled against the Iraq War, but went to the UN out of fealty to Bush. I’m not sure when it happened, probably with the purported determination that there were no WMDs after all, but CP subsequently felt bitterly betrayed by the Bush administration. Wordward has him in front of the bipartisan Iraqi War commission openly spilling his guts in rancor.

I think it’s fair to say that Powell is alienated from much of the Republican Party, at least those that identify with Bush’s concept of the War on Terror. Maybe by throwing in with the antiwar Obama he feels he’s redeeming himself of his own involvement, but think of the stunning ramifications: Powell the military man endorsing Obama who voted against the supplemental troop funding bill because it was stripped of a mandatory withdrawal timetable, a timetable that at the time absolutely would have insured defeat. A case can be made that he has lost his moral bearings.

Someone has pointed out that this is not the first time Powell has crossed party lines when race was involved. He did so by contributing to Doug Wilder’s run for the VA governorship.

Re Javelin’s comments: Is not calling someone “a windbag of empty slogans and putdowns(sic)” not itself the rantings of such a person? Also, how does one measure respect in numbers? And what difference does it make to any argument how much respect some anonymous person has for anybody?

Re Ryan’s comment: McCain is not and never has been a general. Did you mean Powell?

“God. It’s absurd you would trash Powell for being a centrist,…”

Hilarious. One of the reasons Colin Powell gave for his opposition to McCain is the prospect of a couple of conservatives being appointed to the Supreme Court. Colin Powell is a Rino.

Colin Powell did nothing while Bush administration officials faced indictment for “outing” Plame when it was Powell’s deputy Armitage who have “outed” her.

And anyone, including Colin Powell, who thinks Iraq can be conceded to Al Qaeda and Iran without disastrous results, is nuts.

Your party is the party of the absurd.

We don’t need a Praetorian military. Retired military general and flag officers would do well to follow GEN Odierno’s advice- stay out of politics and don’t vote for or endorse ANYBODY as it will only lead to politization of the military. Politicians should likewise stay clear of reaching out to these officers, who even though they are retired, still hold sway in the five sided puzzle palace in Arlington.
