The man has become an empty vessel...He threw away a decent rep for AWOL Bush.

1. They must have something
big on the guy. Thats the only way I can figure it. He could have been Pres if had chosen to run or even if he removed himself from this mess early on.

3. Powell also testified to atrocities occurring in Vietnam. Do GOPs denounce
him today for his admissions?

6. Yeah. That's how he made his bones
Don't think he wants to talk about NamTime...he likes to talk about Gulf War I

12. He was part of the coverup of My Lai. The cover up didn't work.
Powell, in later years, was more forthcoming about the atrocities.

I didn't see any GOP loyalists formed groups against him. They would have if he had tried to run AGAINST King George, though.

4. I haven't seen nor heard him for months now
Have they got him locked in a closet somewhere or is just 'cause I don't have cable?

11. HE KNOWS NOT TO BOTHER TO OPEN HIS MOUTH
Bush never listens to his advice on anything.

God forbid, if Bush should remain in power, I would expect Powell to leave the administration.
