Where is Powell?.. never comes thru when we need him!
Colin Powell... What a fucking disappointment.... Never has the balls to stand up and do the right thing. He's the one man!; the ONE MAN that can take down Bush if he wanted to. If he chose to, he could hold a press conference and confess and blow the whistle on the whole fucking administration.. But no, he won't fucking do it!... He is allowing us (THE USA) to go down the toilet following an inept, corrupt, backward lying neanderthal president leads us over a cliff.

I read his autobiography, and he himself admits that he's really not so great; just a good qualified man who climbed the ladder to the top. But he go there because he never made any waves, never rocked the boat (especially during the sixties).

Son of a bitch use to be my hero.. He can burn in hell with the rest of'em!

1. and why would you expect him to 'come thru"?--he is enjoying the good
life now-driving his new cars and making money giving speeches.

4. Becuase he's black
He knows the shit this country has, can and will do. He should have a moral imperative to expose this admin.

10. So? So's Armstrong Williams.
And Drudge and Sullivan are gay. There's no shortage of idiots who support THE party that'll eventually legislate them out of existence when they get the chance.

Clinton should've fired that asshole for insubordination. Remember, he publicly counseled officers to resign their commission to protest the Don't Ask Don't Tell initative.

3. Powell only appears to have integrity when compared to...
... the company he keeps. Whereas the hard-line Bushies merit a 0/10 on the integrity meter, I'd give Powell a 1/10 or 2/10 out of generosity. He's a party man and his hands are still filthy -- and don't forget about his past misdeeds in previous conflicts.

Powell thought that Republicans have integrity - he was wrong.
