Colin Powell won't run, no matter what anyone does. He's a man who lives his beliefs and he won't back down. He won't make up "facts" or shade anything he has done. He did what he did because he believed in it and he won't make excuses. Not for his military career and not for his personal values. In other words, the man is simply not for sale.

His primary concern is his family and he'll be damned if he puts them through a grinder, even if it is to serve his country. The man has class, intelligence to spare and enough political savvy to know that the political arena is a pit of vipers. This country wants what it wants. Our expectations are unreasonable and have nothing to do with reality and everything to do with our convenience and how it affects our pocketbook. Those expectations are diverse and change daily.

The best we can hope for is solid leadership at this point. Remember, after 911, everyone was waving flags and wanting to kick some terrorist butt. It doesn't happen in a day, a year or even 10 years. We are in a war with stateless people. It is a war of ideals. It is a religious war. They want us dead and we want to survive. The question is what are we willing to give up in order to make that happen.

It seems our battle cry is something akin to "go get the bastards....as long as we're not too inconvenienced in the process". And for God sakes, don't let them blow up anything else over here. Tall order for anyone, Democrat or Republican, don't you think?

39. Even in victory, the hate and bigotry of certain individual(s) in society cannot be satiated without even more venom, and so, I have to provide you with what you have demanded, "War and Peace for Idiots Part II", enjoy, read slowly, and do not hurt your brain, and then rant,lie, rant,lie,rant,lie, rant.....

Isn’t it time as Americans of all faiths, races, creeds, colours and genders to simply say enough to hate and ignorance of the past twenty or even two hundred years, and realize that we are on the very brink of the collapse of the US empire? That we owe more to China and the Arab elites and states than this and the next generation will make, and that we owe that debt to President Bush lying to us about Iraq being responsible for 9-11, and then destroying an innocent country, killing millions of civilians and not to mention killing thousands of US and Allied soldiers and crippling physically or mentally hundreds of thousands of others – and then retiring to a life of a millionaire playboy. And, then there is President Clinton, who left the White House and America a complete mess due to his personal and professional proclivities, and then as a pauper could not even afford to buy his own home, but now is reportedly worth in excess of $100 million dollars because he is lobbying for and working for the very Chinese and Arab elite interests that are taking over America.

Posters such as FIBiker, UDP, and many others who are going to bring out the same racist, misogynist, or ethnocentric rhetoric , whether they are Aryan, African-American, or any other sort of supremacist or bigot should be summarily and universally dismissed and ignored, it is the mentality of supposed moral and cultural superiority that allowed the “freedom fry” nation state to cause the deaths of millions of innocent Iraq civilians, allow Osama Bin Ladin to remain free, and to let President Bush, the US Congress and Senate off the hook for the whole scale mismanagement and bankrupting of US foreign and domestic policy.

We have people still homeless from Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters all over the US, we have an educational system that is graduating more illiterates than any other time in our history, our health care and social security system is on the brink of collapse, and the focus of the government is on the visit of the Pope (I love the "Holy See" but Pope John Paul II brought the entire world together in honesty and brotherhood while his replacement - well - just read the reality in the world press and not the vested media manipulation), steroids in sports, telemarketing, photo identification for illegal immigrants, and the prostitution ring that deystroyed Governor Spitzer – people in America are sleeping in the streets, not eating, not getting medical attention, we are turning into a third world country – and this is what our politicians who are mostly millionaires or atleast well off are spending our tax dollars on – a PR offensive? Who is running the government the people or Wall Mart?

Whether the next President of the United States of America is Senator Obama or Senator McCain, both men of honour, who unfortunately due to the realities of modern politics have to align themselves with individuals of less than stellar intellects or couth in a quest to not alienate any large sensitive demographic from the fans of JZ and Beyonce to the followers of Reverend Haggee.

There is no perfect human, and definitely no perfect politician, the only thing America needs right now, is someone who can tell the truth, and in both Senator Obama and Senator McCain, we have two men who can definitely be counted on for their adherence to the truth and commitment to the protection and preservation of the interests of the American nation state.

God Bless America 2008.

Posted at 8:06PM on Apr 21st 2008 by #35 - #38 Your ignorance is outstanding and your pleas for "War and Peace For Idiots Part II" Could Not Be Ignored!

41. The reason General Powell will not run for office or even appear in the media is not for any concern for his family or ethics, it is because he knowingly LIED to the American people and the entire world at the UN, and stated that Iraq was responsible for 9-11 and had weapons of mass destruction. General Powell, President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rice, and the rest of that administration deystroyed an innocent nation, killed millions of innocent civillians, and is responsible for the deaths, injury, and maiming of tens if not hundreds of thousands of US and Allied service personnel.

That is why General Colin Powell is in hiding.

And, as for your Reverand Rod Parsley, Reverand Hagee, and Reverand Pat Robertson inspired clash of civilizations rhetoric, that has been summarily dismissed by the rest of the world, the European Union, now the leader of the free world is working to set up a bridge between the third world nations citizens and the people of the developed world without the interference and manipulation of the Saudi Royal Family and other corrupt Arab and othe elites who have used religious and political dogma to ferment discord and divert attention from domestic problems.

Read, OCD and interact with people from around the world, and you will learn, that as the Lord Jesus Christ taught, all men are brothers and equal in the eyes of God.

Posted at 8:18PM on Apr 21st 2008 by OCD, Colin Powell is a man of honor?

OH GIVE ME A BREAK WITH actually thinking Hillary is a serious contender for the White House! Sleeping with Bill Clinton for 8 years on Pennsylvania Ave. DOES NOT QUALIFY her to walk into the Oval Office and get behind the desk. She's an old mean bat who will say anything to get elected, but she knows and America knows, she'll throw away those promises once she gets into office and replace them with excuses of why she can't do what she promised.

And Bill....What is Bubba going to be doing running around the White House with nothing to do? LOL. No job, nothing. I'll give you an idea - He'll be running around the hallways all night in his glow-in-the-dark YES/NO underwear, chatting up porn sites. LOLOL!!!

And then the thought of the Clinton's back in the White House is nauseating. All the scandals, lies, etc. Does America really see this as the answer to the future? A president who was almost impeached for lying, etc, and his old lady spouse who also lies and guzzles booze.

GAG. Vote Obama for the Democratic nomination, then Vote McCain for President.

Actually I do read. I even check to make sure that the sources have validity. So Colin Powell is a liar and everyone else is....what?

Claim: Quotes reproduce statements made by Democratic leaders about Saddam Hussein's acquisition or possession of weapons of mass destruction.

Status: True.

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998.

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998.

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999.

"There is no doubt that . Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, Dec, 5, 2001.

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."
Sen. Carl Levin (d, MI), Sept. 19, 2002.

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seing and developing weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002.

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002.

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002.

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years . We also should remember we have alway s underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Jay Rockerfeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002,

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do."
Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002.

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction. "[W]ithout question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he has continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003.


Origins: All of the quotes listed above are substantially correct reproductions of statements made by various Democratic leaders regarding Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's acquisition or possession of weapons of mass destruction. However, some of the quotes are truncated, and context is provided for none of them — several of these quotes were offered in the course of statements that clearly indicated the speaker was decidedly against unilateral military intervention in Iraq by the U.S. Moreover, several of the quotes offered antedate the four nights of airstrikes unleashed against Iraq by U.S. and British forces during Operation Desert Fox in December 1998, after which Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen and Gen. Henry H. Shelton (chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) announced the action had been successful in "degrad[ing] Saddam Hussein's ability to deliver chemical, biological and nuclear weapons."
