    Colin Powell has so much credibility when he talks about war. I mean who in his right mind would question what Colin Powell said?

    An Obama/Powell ticket would be awesome.

    exactly -- I hope it's a joke.

    He had as much cred as one can possibly earn, until his loyalty led him to make that sham of a presentation for W, Rummy, and Dick.

    Everyone understands that. (I thought).

    Powell's cred was undeserved, though he cuts a fine figure. He was a loyal lapdog for the neo-cons and a key player in Iran Contra and probably would have been indicted if Bush I had not ended the investigation by pardoning everyone.

    I would love having Powell on ANY ticket, be it the Dems or the GOP. Or even just as a top advisor of one of the presidential candidates. Powell's loyalty was his downfall, but he's still a strong voice for 'sanity' that I can count on when it comes to advising on foreign policy issues.
