<snip>
Two formally non-political members of George W. Bush's cabinet have fired a double-barreled shot in the direction of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, rebutting his criticism of the president's foreign policy and the conduct of the war in Iraq.

Secretary of State Colin Powell and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld took on the Massachusetts senator Wednesday despite a long-standing tradition for cabinet members to stay away from stump battles waged by their boss in an election year.

While admitting that he "can't get involved in commenting on the various political slogans," Powell questioned Kerry's main campaign theme about making America "Stronger at home, respected in the world."

"We are respected," the secretary of state told Fox New Channel.

[Ducks In A Row]

20. it's the drugs

[NormanConquest]

2. Awww, poor Junior can't fight his own battles...

has to get his daddy's friends to help him out!

[MetaTrope]

3. If Colin Powell is "non-political" does that make his lies under oath okay

in the Iran-Contra investigation?

[Warpy]

13. Or his coverup of the My Lai massacre

"just following orders."

[Geo55]

4. "We are respected,"

Yeah....like the slightly deranged thug that "owns" the corner down the block. you walk down the opposite side of the street with a weary eye......that kind of "respect"

[underpants]

5. "I mean, my goodness anyone knows ...

that they are still lying through their teeth

[Kahuna]

6. I'm surprised somebody wasted the ink and cyberspace to repeat

such a ludicrous assertion.

[Catfight]

7. Powell is Bush's personal slave to lies. I don't respect Powell.

[skypilot]

10. He's come a long way, baby.

Remember the days when even Democrats would have considered voting for Powell if he'd run for President? Seems like a distant memory now, doesn't it?

[displacedtexan]

8. Colin Powell is either seriously deluded or...

BushCo has the goods on him BIG TIME!

[daveskilt]

9. "what did kerry mean - they all respect us don't they?, are they laughing?

poor colin like the unpopular kid who doesn't know it.

[flordehinojos]

11. Powell is now not only a liar

he is also delusional... like his boss.}(

[DinahMoeHum]

12. Colin is not a man. He's a eunuch. He's a gelding.

I'd use another word as well, but it's not fit to be mentioned here.

A real man would have walked out over having to present material to the UN that he KNEW was a pack of lies.

Colin Powell failed that test - BIG TIME.


Fuck him. Forget him.


:nuke:

14. I Used To Have Some Respect For Powell- Before He Became Rove's

Bitch

[gratuitous]

16. Well, I'll use the word

He's the White House Nigger. He's the latter day equivalent of the house nigger, the slave who had administrative power over the other slaves on the plantation. Colin Powell is the equivalent of the sell-out who, for the favor of the master, would take on the day-to-day chores of whipping slaves, enforcing discipline, and making sure the darkies stayed in line.

Although slavery was a complex web of terror and degradation, the house nigger was one of the linchpins without which the entire system would have been in danger of collapse. I submit that Powell knows exactly how he's being used, and willingly goes along with it.

17. Harsh language.....but I'm inclined to agree n/t

[LittleApple81]

15. Help me here. They are GOVERNMENT workers hired and paid by the US.

Are they supposed to be campaigning?

[Beetwasher]

18. "Really, We Are Respected! No, Really We ARE!!! Why Won't

Anyone believe me?!"

[Democat]

19. Government employees campaigning on government time when...

They should be working for every person in the country.

Is anyone suprised? Bush will do anything he can to divide America, no matter how it hurts the country or the security of the American people.
