1. I doubt it, but I SO wish it were true....

That might actually put some fun back into politics.

2. Clark can beat Mccain Powell or Rudy or anyone that the gop

throws at us. It's too bad that others can't see that but everyone is entitled to thier opinion.

[Montauk6]

7. But Clark has to first beat the other Dems...

Granted, he got a late start in '04, and there was all the rigamarole about jumping parties.

I'm truly looking forward to him running fresh in '08 from the get-go.

[DanCa]

10. Clark treats everything as a learning exp.

Believe me he learned from his 04 performance. And no offense to you but I believe that jumping parties thing was way over blown. Hell even Randi Rhodes said that she voted for Regan. But what was cool is that Michael Moore endorsed the good general. I'll never forget that.

3. No. His wife nixed it before, and I am sure she has not changed her mind.

[Montauk6]

9. Technically, Alma may have nixed it but I think it was after wisely seeing

the writing on the wall; the racist pigs in the GOP were going to go nuclear in destroying Powell's rep. I think we saw EVEN BEFORE THE MAN THREW HIS HAT IN THE RING how everyone, from Kristol on down, were dumping RINO blood on him. If I'm exaggerating, I apologize, but IIRC The Machine was ready to paint him left of Kucinich practically. Ironically, poll after poll gave him a possible edge over Mr. Clinton. Yet, what do the freeps do? They "rally" behind Dole(????).

11. Your analysis sounds very reasonable

[niyad]

4. the man LIED in front of the UN, just the latest in a long series of cover

ups, starting with MyLai. anybody who would trust him at this point is nothing more than a sheeple.

[barb162]

5. yes, he had the choice to go along with Bush; he could have quit

[FrenchieCat]

6. FUCK COLIN POWELL......

UNLESS HE'S TALKING ABOUT DARFUR, HE NEEDS TO SHUT THE FUCK UP! :mad:

[Joey Liberal]

16. I agree. Fuck him. n.t

[graywarrior]

8. Ya right. He blew his chance.

Liar.

[MoonRiver]

12. He should have thought about that when he knowingly lied to the UN

Security Council. No matter how much he squirms now, he is complicit in the commission of war crimes. :mad:

[Disturbed]

13. Powell's defining moment: Dishonor

[MoonRiver]

17. Oh yeah.

He will never live that down. NEVER.

[allemand]

14. No. I think it's an attempt to support the retired generals against Rummy.

There were rumors that he didn't want to resign while Rumsfeld was still in office, but Bush fired him anyway.

[Joey Liberal]

15. Powell let this country down

His last minute drama is a day late and a dollar short.

[Warren Stupidity]

18. I don't think felons are going to be eligible. nt.

[TankLV]

19. All I know is he's just as guilty as the rest of them for going along with

the LIES of these WAR CRIMINALS - HIM INCLUDED!

What's worse, is HE KNEW THEY WERE LIES, and assisted and a betted the crimes!

That is totally and forever UNFORGIVABLE!

Tell it to the THOUSANDS OF DEAD AND MAIMED US soldiers.

Tell it to the MILLIONS of dead and maimed Iraqi innocents.

He should be brought up on WAR CRIMES and sent to the Hague and Prison along with the wrest of the gang.

I will stop at nothing less.

[killerbush]

20. Powell won't run for president, but maybe a VP

Mc.Cain/Powell would be very tough to beat.

[leesa]

21. He's trying to avoid the hangman's noose for war crimes.

[politrix]

22. Nah. He Knows He'll Be Assassinated.

He just sees the train wreck up ahead and is prepping the world not to charge HIM with war crimes, too.

[Renew Deal]

23. Colin Powell will not run for President.

He doesn't want it.
