Infidel- it's too easy. If chicken-hawk cheney, with his five vietnam era deferrments, wasn't over there setting up the next theft of billions by Halliburton he wouldn't see combat either.

Sounds like Cheney got closer to combat in Pakistan than Clinton EVER did - in his whole life!

Certainly closer then he or that as*shole Bush have ever gotten too. Unless of course you include the people Cheney has shot hunting and the "danger" of the Coke buys Bush participated in.

Why does my Lotus Notes Auto Spellcheck suggest that I replace "sh*t" with "Shiite"

getcentered,

Yep, the Powell doctrine. I know he is kind of damaged goods and has reason to not want to, but I wish he were running for President. I'd vote for him.

Dave,,, Bush & Cheney are funding radical Sunni Muslems in his actions against Iran --- Sunni's gave us 9/11 & attacked the USS Cole & cause 96% of our casualties.... Ossama bin Laden & al Queda are Sunni.

NavyChief8:

Powel is a patriot and smart at the same time. The Bush administration has no room for people who are true patriots and smart.

"Our senior officers knew the war was going badly. Yet they bowed to groupthink pressure and kept up pretenses. ...Many of my generation, the career captains, majors, and lieutenant colonels seasoned in that war, vowed that when our turn came to call the shots, we would not quietly acquiesce in halfhearted warfare for half-baked reasons that the American people could not understand."
Colin Powell %u2013 During Vietnam

"Is the political objective we seek to achieve important, clearly defined and understood? Have all other nonviolent policy means failed? Will military force achieve the objective? At what cost? Have the gains and risks been analyzed? How might the situation that we seek to alter, once it is altered by force, develop further and what might be the consequences?"
Colin Powell %u2013 1991


"We must assume that the political objective of such an order would have been capturing Saddam Hussein," he wrote. "What purpose would it have served? And would serving that purpose have been worth the many more casualties that would have occurred? Would it have been worth the inevitable follow-up: major occupation forces in Iraq for years to come and a very expensive and complex American proconsulship in Baghdad? Fortunately for America, reasonable people at the time thought not."

NavyChief8 - I agree with your sentiments on dividing people. It's not good for our country, not good for us individually. personally i think Karl Rove is a political terrorist, someone who has harmed this country more than Al Qaeda....Rove used fear to divide us, he used "wedge social issues" to pit one American against the other....he duped the evangelical Christians into getting on the repub bandwagon and now he's going after orthodox jews....in my opinion he's a traitor for the damage done to this country

I was against the war in Iraq from the beginning. My opinion was changed when I heard Colin Powell speak to the UN. He was left out to dry by the liars in the NEOCONMAN segment of the admin. Every one of them a draft dodging SOB. Cheney, Bush, Wolfowitz, Perle, Wurmsberg, Kristal, etc, etc, etc. Powell is the omly man of honor in the entire frickin' bunch!!! Read Hubris for actual, in your face details. We've been lied to so F*K 'em all!!!

The day your people stop bringing you their problems and concerns is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

Colin Powell

If you are wondering about what kind of job the Administration has done, then thin kabout the above quote by a truely great American. He was scorned for having a different opinion and left. i.e. he lost confidence and felt that they no longer cared. Granted, I am assuming the last part..... But we do know he resined his post as Sec. State because he felt his views fell on deaf ears.

Looks like the Taliban's aim is just as good as Cheyney's.

Draft Republicans.
