Tell that to the people of Iraq and the condition their country has been left in.
Colin Powell could have made a difference. He quit on us.

Hmm :think:

If you are not American... then are you Jamaican?

That's a very cool relative to claim.

You must tell Lena. She's got her cousin Gaylord to claim. :wink:

That doesn't make sense to me. He is a military man. Surely a bullet never scared him away from a fight. :?

Remember Bush was the President. Not Colin Powell.

You do what your President tells you.

This is exactly what Colin Powell did at the United Nations with the WMD speech. I feel this speech destroyed his credibility which is a real shame.

Unfortunately this is what he'll be remembered for as "doing" for the people of Iraq.

Colin Powell's UN Speech...

No, he is a stand up guy and there is no shame in that. I only wish he had not resigned. He could have stuck with it. He resigned ToG/quit.... NOT fired. If given the choice and with conviction, I would let the record say that I was terminated. Bush did not need 'yes people' surrounding him. We needed Powell. I can copy and paste this a few more times if you want me too. It's water under the bridge now anyway.

Colin Powell should be President of the United States, not owing to the color of his skin but to the content of his character.

Unlike Barack Obama, Powell is qualified for the job.

If the all powerful United States of America was depending on one man to make everything all right then... your country is really in a very bad state.
