You do realize that Hillary voted for the Iraqi War Resolution, right?

Colin Powell is an American hero and an honorable man, and I am so grateful that he spoke out against this disgraceful and incompetent person. Thank you Colin, we're with you, and don't think that this isn't going to make a huge difference in the upcoming election. What a great day this is.

Powell was on target!

Are you unwilling to hold Colin Powell's feet to the fire over Iraq - the same AS you have done to Hillary over Benghazi?

Typical.

Before the Iraqi war he did, but not now.

Unfortunately for Colin, he was used a pawn for Bush/Cheney and came out looking pretty bad. I respected him before he aligned himself with Obama and still do to this day. He knows the GOP base has a deplorable racist element to it and I applaud him for calling it for what it is and now for doing the same with Trump. Facts are facts and the Donald is an embarrassment to our great country.

And yet it's still only HIS opinions (not that he's uber political or anything ) That and $2.50 will buy a cup of coffee.

Yes, he's got a chest full of well earned medals. So, exactly WHAT has that got to do with anything other than fighting/planning/executing a war?

I never said she did kill 47 people. I am only throwing it out there she very well could have a "few" ties to the list since all 47 were in close association to the clintons. As I said, "All coincidence" and "Too problematic" to even consider her for my vote. Especially, taking into account her personality and even if she was involve in one - just one - out of 47. Something like the Benghazi fiasco.

No conspiracy! Just refusing to be a sheeple, unlike some.

So if Powell is correct when he said Trump is a national disgrace is he also correct in everything he said about HRC?

How is he a hero?

Honorable man? He provided false information to the UN regarding Iraq.

Career military general officer as much as being political as being able.
