Colon Powell
just heard how he stabbed Bush in the back today...

"Didn't know why they did such a slipshod job with Katrina"; said it wasn't racial, it was economic, which is think probably has some truth to it.

Would it be just too evil to run powell with a dem? Can he redeem himself for his war crimes?

Is anyone willing to forgivehime and somelike like Tom Ridge now that they seem to have distanced themselves from Young Fraudenstein?

1. Powell can step in when Bushi-Cheney are "resigned"-no run pledge.
So, yes but only until 2008. Then he does an apology tour tothe world.

2. Forgive them?
Maybe but only if they go public with everything thing they know.

3. No, never. Unforgiveable.
I know he was doing his job. I don't care. I wouldn't want this man to organize taking out my garbage, much less running the country.

4. I'm not willing to let his complicity slide at this point
I want to hear him to speak the truth, but I'm not holding my breath.

6. Hmmm. No.
Rumor has it he might be the head guy for the investigation that Bush says they should do, and he seems to be positioning himself with that criticism sort of to make himself look like a good guy. He covered up the Mai Lai massacre. I don't think he's to be trusted.

7. No. I want nothing to do with that man. He had ample time to blow the
whistle on the cabal and he never did.

I hope he is ashamed to the very core of his being.

10. Forgive..........only if what was started is stopped, then maybe......
you are what you are and nothing else. Your history is written by you and what you do. Is that questioned asked with other killers and liars, no? It is time that public officials take the credit for all their actions. Yes

12. I could forgive Powell
if he stood up and said "what the administration did with Iraq was wrong".

14. I could if he came clean with everything...
that went on behind the scenes. He wasn't looked kindly on by most...and I've heard he and Cheney can't stand each other.

He knows some shit and he has an obligation to tell it, IMO.
