In an article from the LA Times Powell was interviewed as saying this when asked about Bush's guard duty.

 

"The policies determining who would be drafted and who would be deferred, who would serve and who would escape, who would die and who would live, were an anti-democratic disgrace." He went on: "I am angry that so many sons of the powerful and well-placed ? managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units."

 

Then in the Boston Globe he said this on the connection between Saddam and 9/11

 

During a session of "Meet the Press" on Sunday, Powell also said he had no indication there was a direct connection between the deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and those who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks.

If Bush wins in 04' for some reason I dont see Powell in the mix. Also theres a report in a new book that Powell called the neo-cons "f***ing crazies" in relation to the proposal of a war in Iraq. I'll look for those quotes.

Powell=Only Cabinet member I respect.

Do you know every member of the cabinet by heart?

 

What about Norman Mineta, the Secretary of Transportation, a democrat?

Is there need for name calling? Hell last time I checked that was grounds for banning.

 

He made a generalization and I called him on it.

And your making a generalization about me. Just because I'm a Liberal doesnt mean I support every democrat out there.

 

And you knew I was talking about the top guys obviously.

I asked you a question, which is no generalization.

 

And I don't know who the "top guys" are honestly.

Seemed like you were being sarcastic about it.

 

whatever forget about it.

 

Anyways I consider the top guys to be Ashcroft, Rice, Powell, Rumsefeld and even Ridge.
