**BREAKING** Colin Powell endorses Clinton/Kaine

Like General Allen, you wonder what kind of dirt the Clinton's have on Powell.

 

LOL... The last 2 weeks she has increasingly been going after Clinton over the email contents - so I guess you're right in that at least she's smartening up.

All networks gave Trump massive coverage, not just FOX. That's because they realized that Republicans weren't buying the same 3 decades of the same crap and were not going for the super rich elite's heir - Bush - nor any of their plan B, C, D, E, F candidates - all who just mumbled on putting people to sleep.

Democrats favored Sanders, but the DNC dirty tricks combined with the corporate media/press propaganda and all the little beta mindless groupies - mostly Hillary Clinton's black "super predators" and her "Taco bowl" voters (Hillary's view of "those people") plus angry old women allowed the pre-annointing of the neocon elitists' mouth piece Hillary Clinton to actually be annointed.

By Republicans rejecting Bush and Democrats ending up with Clinton despite most can't stand her even among her supports shows who are independent voters and who tends to be submissive minions.

 

Once upon a time, there was a grand and influential foreign policy doctrine. It was based on some traditional notions about U.S. statecraft that placed severe constraints on when America went to war. It asserted that when the United States used military force, it must do so in overwhelming fashion and only in the service of vital national interests. For any military action, it counseled the dispassionate weighing of costs and benefits, recommended that policymakers have clear, realistic and achievable political objectives, and called for the strong support of the American people and a clearly defined exit strategy.

This doctrine was called the Powell Doctrine, and it was based, in large measure, on a long-simmering debate in the military about how, when and where the United States should use force. While many in the military thought it was great, a lot of other folks hated it. ...

He is a very deliberate person when it comes to actions over foreign policies,
perhaps he saw something in Hillary and nothing with Trump.
He was a Secretary of State, a Four Star General,Chairman of The Joint Chief of Staff, and a former National Security Advisor, and as a republican and with the arrays of high profile exposures not choosing Trump is really producing a very big question, why?, BUT perhaps a simple answer is there, the guy is really inept.

 

Hillary Clinton said what one of those are - that he had classified information on unsecured servers in personal emails. Said he told her to do what he was doing. He did not have a brain stroke and massive head injury to blame not knowing required security protocols like she did.

But as Madam President Wall Street Clinton, the "I can't ever remember anything" candidate, he's safe as long as he continues to do and say exactly as she orders.

Personally I've always thought Powell was scum. Not so much over his lying before the UN, but because he is who most pushed H. Bush to stop the first Gulf War and not removing Sadam Hussein then - leading to doing the war again and now perpetually. Powell was insisting that the US military looked bad because it was killing so many of Hussein's troops - a bizarre military view to condemn military success as wrong.

Naw, he was for Obama both times too. He was never a Republican or Democrat, though did have political aspirations that fortunately came to nothing. On foreign policy he was a liar and idiot - a political lacky hoping to dance around and enter politics. Powell is one of the people way up the list for the disaster that the M.E. is now.

 

Really? Are you that desperate?

Powell endorsed obama, he has shown his true colors 8 years ago. He will never endorse any conservative.

What is surprising is not that he did not endorse Trump but he endorsed someone as antithetical to everything he has ever stood for. I read his autobiography My American Journey, he has had quite a life, in many ways he is the classic American story. And Hilary violates every single moral in his autobiography.

How far Powell has fallen.

 

He got coverage for the same reason people slow down to see an accident. He's a train wreck that was more entertainment that serious candidate.

 

Powell became senior military assistant to Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, whom he assisted during the 1983 invasion of Grenada and the 1986 airstrike on Libya. Powell became, at the age of 49, Ronald Reagan's National Security Advisor, serving from 1987 to 1989 while retaining his Army commission as a lieutenant general. In 1986, Powell took over the command of V Corps in Frankfurt, Germany, from Robert Lewis "Sam" Wetzel. In April 1989, after his tenure with the National Security Council, Powell was promoted to four-star general under President George H. W. Bush and briefly served as the Commander in Chief, Forces Command (FORSCOM), headquartered at Fort McPherson, Georgia, overseeing all Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard units in the Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. He became only the third general since World War II, joining Dwight D. Eisenhower and Alexander Haig, to reach four-star rank without ever serving as a division commander. Later that year, President George H. W. Bush selected him as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

And the people on here who try to badmouth him? Friendless hermits with thousands of posts... people who never accomplished ANYTHING in life.

Sorry, friendless unsuccessful hermits, I have to side with Colin Powell this time.

 

WOW, what a wall street Hillary shill, it would be breaking news if he we're not, he voted for Kerry the Obama twice not to mention lied to the American people over weapons of mas destruction, Colin Powell fits right in with you crooked pro wall street DNC dems, I hope two faced Paul Ryan, Kelly Ayotte and Ben Sasse are next.
