Yes, General Colin Powell disses George Bush and the Republican party. Let's not forget that Powell showed the yellow stripe on his back by opposing the war in Iraq the second time. Let's also not forget that Powell also directed the first Iraq war that left Saddam Hussein in power. The word coward does not adequately describe the turncoat that General Powell has become. We all know that Colin Powell was forced out of the Bush administration after Bush's first term. I understand that Colin Powell is black and feels excited by a young black man who has more guts than he has. Barak Osama a transformational figure? I doubt it. America is not ready for ANY MUSLIM to be president of this great country and those who died in previous wars will do a massive turn in their graves with this ill-advised endorsement of a first term junior senator for president. History recorded the disaster the last time the United States elected a junior senator from Massachusetts who sounded too good to be true and almost led us into nuclear war.
