Colin Powell

Has anyone read yesterdays Lawrence O'Donnell's post on The Huffington Post stating that Colin Powell is ready to endorse Sen. Obama? How credible is this? www.huffingtonpost.co/lawrence-odonnell/colin-powell-is-ready-to_b_13477... How credible is The Huffington Post as a reliable source?

Wouldn't that be the big October surprise --- for Sen. McCain! Wouldn't that just seal it for Sen. Obama and the Democrats?

O'Donnell cites the ugliness of the campaign, the 14 point lead in the NY Times poll and his explicit rejection of the Bush-McCain approach to the Iraq, Iran and the rest of the world.

Most of all this would be pay back time for the Bush-Cheney deception he suffered. IMO, that just has to be grinding at his soul.

Let us pray that this distinquished servant to this nation sees his next duty and musters the courage to follow thru.

Yesterday, February 5th, was, of course, Super Tuesday.

But, as the historian Howard Zinn has pointed out, elections have the habit of distracting us from larger issues.

Yesterday was also the aniversary of the following speech:

That would be correct, Dear Reader.
Yesterday was the anniversary of Colin Powell's speech before the United Nations, in which he laid out the case for war with Iraq.
Mr. Powell, of course, has since criticized this administration's disastrous policies. It seems that he, like the rest of this nation, was mislead by guys he thought he could trust.
In related news, this is an exchange between Press secretary Dana Perino and a reporter:

Q Dana, today is the fifth anniversary of Colin Powell's U.N. presentation on Iraq. I'm wondering whether you think the intel reforms that we've seen since then make a repeat of that kind of blunder impossible.
