| Powell defends Clinton, rips GOP as racists |
| 2013-01-14 |
| On today's Meet The Press, Powell defended Clinton's role in the lead up to and response after the Benghazi attack, and the Republican conceded the situation in Benghazi "could've happened to anyone." Then the "anyone" should be held responsible. Powell added: ""I think she's had a distinguished record ... And I don't think that this one incident -- which is one of these things that those of us in government have been through many, many times where suddenly an action happens late at night ... I don't think it's a blot on her record." He "thinks" she's had a distguished record. He "thinks" one incident shouldn't matter. He "thinks" it shouldn't be a blot on her record. I think he's look for a new job in 2016. |

| #10 I guess that's what irrelevant old impotent farts do to get attention. Benghazi "could've happened to anyone." yea, and nothing is being done about it. |

| #9 I stil say that the groundowrk is being laid for Powell to replace either VPOTUS Joe "Grandpa/Gaffe" Biden or SecState Hillary. Iff SHTF this year as per the US-World Econ, US Debt, + Foreign Policy/Affairs, the blame will fall on the Bammer + Admin which in turn means America = Amerika may NOT see another African-American POTUS [other Minority?] for a long long L-O-N-G LLLOOONNNGG TIME. THE TIME IS NOW, I.E. BEFORE THE END OF THE BAMMER'S SECOND TERM 2013 -JAN. 2013, FOR A FIRST-TIME-IN-HISTOIRE' POTUS ADMIN WHERE THE TOP POSITIONS OF ADMIN POWER = EXECUTIVE BRANCH ARE HELD BY AFRICAN-AMERICANS OR "PERSONS OF COLOR". Iff SHTF wid Rising China in NE Asia over the Sino-Nippon disputed Senkakus/Diaoyu Islands, IMO THE BAMMER MUST PREVAIL LIKE JFK + NIXON BACK IN 1962 + 1973 MISSLE CRISES, + FORCE CHINA TO BACK DOWN VEE JAPAN. ANY LESS WOULD BE INTERPRETED AS DE FACTO FAILURE ON THE PART OF HIS ADMIN + MINORITY AMERICANS. |

| #8 I'd say if you "met general powell once" but don't know which list he belongs on, you don't watch / read enough of the correct news outlets... |

| #7 That's right, general. Anytime somebody disagrees with you, no need to bother with logic, just whip out that there race card. |

| #6 I've got to quit watching/reading news. I'm losing people I once respected by about a dozen a week. I met general Powell once. I hate to add him to my shit list. |

| #5 Whatever happened to: "Pottery house rules, if you break it - you buy it" Colin Powell before the invasion of Iraq. |

| #4 Powell considers the access to Saudi cash he got through his work at State -- and the good graces of the press -- more important than the truth. |

| #3 We all knew Powell was a democrat party hack in disguise. |

| #1 On race, Powell was also critical of his partyÂ’s official line, saying that he believes the GOP has been lax in fighting race-based scaremongering Scaremonger, can't find anything scream RACIST. |
