I have a kept my mouth shut about this for too long. Just because you go to Jump School and Ranger School does’nt necessary make you a Paratrooper or Ranger. If Colin Powell want’s to endorse Obama, let him. He is still to me a leg, New York Liberal! I have never liked the guy nor do any of my “Special” colleagues. I thank him for his service, but he is voting his skin type. Also, McCain and Powell have never been cozy. Powell, just like the good tactician he is, jumped in during what he feels is the decisive moment. Wake up America! Powell knew he would endorse Obama, only when he felt Obama was a lock. And for this, Powell will always be to me “Play it safe leg New York liberal.” Powell is a nobody! He surrounded himself with smart guys, thank god!

Does the author of this story not realize that it was the Republicans under George H W Bush who sent troops to Somalia?

Daniel, Gertz discussed the fact that Powell didn’t physically go to those countries. It was by phone calls and not eye to eye contact where a point can be driven home more effectively.

Gertz points out that Wilkerson was a key liberal player working to undermine the administration and a liberal Powell would play along nicely.

Joe, I watched and wondered who would win a stuttering contest, Obama or Powell.

Was he nervous, unsure or simply knew he was publicly revealing himself as a hypocrite.

Although I am looking forward to reading Gertz’s book, I have to disagree with his assertion that any such outreach to Germany and France would have made a difference. For one thing, Germany was in the midst of an election with a leader who was playing straight to public opinion. Anti-American public opinion that is. And as we all know now, France was up to it’s neck in the Oil for Food scandal. We all now know what a vile corrupt anti-American pig Chirac really was. Talk about a waste of skin.

It is about race, payback, and ultimately Powell’s liberal ideology.

Good points.

Why does Powell stay in the Republican party? What is it about the party that makes him keep that affiliation? He is a liberal through and through as I’m sure Gertz makes clear, so are too many others in the administration. I’ve never liked Powell. I think the “Powell Doctrine” is a crock. Granted, I can’t complain about our crushing of the Iraqi army in the first Gulf War, but he no doubt had great influence on the decision to leave Saddam in power. I think Powell is a something of a secular progressive hypocrite who can sit back all day long as people are murdered, raped, and massacred by a bloodthirsty tyrant. These liberals are all the same. America is the bad guy. Oh don’t forget to tell Barrack how Germany and especially France stabbed you in back. Ok, Colin? Oh, I forgot. They’ll all be bowing down in worship before the Messiah, so none of that matters, right?
