Powell rejects Kerry claim that Bush hawks
have undercut him

Secretary of State Colin Powell rejected as "absolute
nonsense" Democratic presidential candidate John
Kerry's claim that Powell has been undercut by Bush
administration hawks led by Vice President Dick
Cheney.

In an interview aired Tuesday on National Public
Radio, Powell said he is President Bush's principle
agent for relations with China, Russia and the rest of
Europe and has been working for months toward
finding solutions to problems with Liberia, the Sudan
and Libya.

The New York Times, based on an interview with
Kerry, reported Sunday that the Massachusetts
senator believes divisions within the foreign policy
team of the administration have prevented Powell
from doing his job.

"I think simply Powell, who I know, like and admire,
has been never permitted to be fully a secretary of
state in the way that I envision the secretary of state,"
said Kerry, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. "I think Powell -- I'm not sure they didn't
lock the keys to the airplane up sometimes."

1. This is when you know your country is in trouble. When a truth is told

but you'll have about a million Powell 'supporters' say it isn't true. It's a pretend/lie and pretend believe world.

2. I have lost all RESPECT for Powell

I heard his comments on PRI and he is STILL bullshitting on WMD!

3. The end of Colon Pile's nose......

will forever have a nice big shitty brown stain on the end of it.I never did care for that guy anyway. He throws away any amount of self respect and integrity by being bu$h's "yes masta". He makes me as sick as the rest of that criminal bunch of asswipes. :puke:

6. Convenient for getting that stain

They cut him off at the knees, so now he's just the right height to "service" his president.

7. Yes, and he has all the facial expression for a man called "shorty"

Harry Belafonte had Colin pegged from the beginning.

4. Powell lost the keys to the airplane?

"I think Powell -- I'm not sure they didn't
lock the keys to the airplane up sometimes."

Heh, maybe Powell can find the keys to the airplane on a truck, hidden behind large groves of palm trees.

After the Iraqi WMD fiasco, Powell's credibility is shot.

What IS the real secretary of state (James Baker the III) up to these days???

5. This is GREAT. Let those who think Powell is a sound moderate who

influences Bush policy realize that Powell's so-called moderation is just a MASK.

Powell lets the neocons run amok as he kisses Bush's ass from here to eternity. Let those who thought he was a good guy see Powell for what he is, ONE OF THE FASCIST CREEPS who sold himself and turned over his family to the BFEE long ago.

8. I wonder how long Powell can be shat upon and forced to go against his

military instincts by that civilian barbarian rumsfeld before he goes postal?

9. Colon Foul is a Bushevik Stooge...nothing more and nothing less

He should walk around with a clown nose, as should the rest.

Colon Foul got his start covering up the My Lai Massacre. I have no doubt that is when the Busheviks took note of him. A liar without compunction, a corrupt and venal man, who was also Black and had no qualms about betraying his people and his nation.

Bingo! Poppy must have got a hard-on when he discovered this treasonous pile of shit.
