Powell had the good sense to bail out, why not her?

Because, my friend, no amount of education or intelligence can compensate for a lack of integrity.  Rice wouldn't testify under oath before the 9/11 commission.  She distorts the truth and misrepresents the facts over and over.  She cannot be trusted.

No, she was a kidnapped hostage.

Brain would find a way to bail her out like he always did before.

If someone was willing to care for her in that state then why kill her? \nProve to me that her death was "merciful". NO one has come back from the type of death they put her through (starvation) and to maintain it did not hurt is nuts. We allow child rapers to live and kill a woman who did nothing. In CA, they couldn't get an anesthesiologist to put a criminal out because they thought it hurt but little Terry Schiavo was a different story. \nGovernment is there to maintain what the average joe wants and  is not only there for those who believe in killing anyone who isn't up to their snobby level of perfection.

If we toke away all of her "daddy's" Money i think she would just vanish off the face of the earth.....\n\nOr\n\nWe could throw her off a cliff, that works too

I hear if you get enough people to stop believing in her, she'll go away.. Let's all try it...\n\nFrchuck- well said, I agree.. If Ann Coulter would stop attacking the messengers than the issue could get out.. Good point..

Let's see, she basically had the swing vote on Iraq, and chose to shun Colin Powell. Yeah, she's an f'n genius. \n\nOh, and then when Katrina hit, her response was to spend the day shoe shopping in New York. Real inspired leadership. \n\nAnyone who thinks anyone tied to this administration has any chance of ever being president needs to put down the crack pipe.

General Powell was acting on information given to him by the Bush administration. It was not HIS facts that he read to the UN. \n\nWhy do you think he resigned? This is a man of unquestionable character and dedication to his country. \n\nI served the General indirectly, in Desert Storm and would do so again in a hearbeat.

Colin Powell is an outstanding human being, and what he did is extraordinary. As a soldier, he followed orders until such a time that he no longer could tolerate the wickedness, incompetency, and corruption of the Bush administration. Then he got out....\nand he's kept his mouth shut. What an honorable man! Colin Powell should run for President, but I don't believe he'd ever want to have to stand that close to the stench of American politics. Although, I'd love to see him and Ross Perot run as true patriots who would be willing to sacrifice their personal fortunes for the sake of cleaning up the cesspool we call Congress. \n\nBush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, on the other hand, are the most evil people ever to occupy the White House. Bush authoized an illegal, unconstituional war with Iraw for only two reasons: 1) he wanted to 'get even' with Saddam Hussein for humilating his daddy during Desert Storm; 2) Big Dick Cheney wants all of the oil that's swimming underneath Iraq's sands. \n\nTHERE WILL BE NO TROOPS WITHDRAWN FROM IRAQ\nuntil Dick Cheney has a rock-solid, iron-clad arrangement in place to acquire all of that oil and make his Halliburton buddies richer and richer and richer. \n\nMeanwhile, Bush (with the MilqueToast support of the most corrupt, incompetent, cowardly Congress is U.S. history) has:\n\n1. Massacred tens of thousands of Iraqis and killed 2,500 U.S. soldiers;\n2. Forced the United States into trillions of dollars of debt;\n3. Tarnished our global reputation as a world leader and peacekeeper;\n4. Neglected environmental and ecological issues that will certainly contribute to the Earth's demise over the next few generations;\n5. Ignored the needs of those in this country who are hungry, sick, aged, poor, disabled or otherwise disadvantaged;\n6. Catered to his rich friends, big business, lobbyists, and special interests who are able to make generous (if not illegal) campaign contributions to the GOP and ensure a continuing reign of unmitigated power;\n7. Turned America into a police state where citizens are presumed guilty until proven innocent;\n8. Presided over a political party that has no moral compass, no conscience; or no respect for right or wrong;\n9. Stolen two elections by influencing our judicial system and infiltrating the sanctity of the voting booth;\n10. Run ripshod over the U.S. Constitution for the sake of his own avarice and lust for power.\n\nThese people deserve to be impeached or tried for high treason. If convicted, they should face a public firing squad. \n\nCheck out the new blog - BUSHWACKER!\nwww.blogger.com\nhttp://al-aback.blogpsot.com\n\nThomas Jefferson once said: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." That time is way past due. It's time for another American Revolution that brings power back to the people and takes it out of the hand of the elite few who have made such a mess of this country. \n\nSatan has - certainly - reserved a special oil-drenched corner of Hell for Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld (and their Congressional conspirators) where they can spend their eternal damnation blaming each other for how they destroyed our good Earth.\n\n-RKO-

Wow...that is incredibly dated, since Powell resigned. \n\nBut it's soooooooooo original...never heard that one before *yawn*\n\nOn to the next idiot.

I personally think she should just hang it up. She is played out now and k fed pretty much ruined whatever she had left.

I would be friendly and empathetic to her but at the same time, hyper aware that something was very, very wrong. We'd probably both be in danger. I'd want to disappear until I figured out what was going on.

I'm all for getting us out of there.  We shouldn't have been there in the first place.  My only reservation about it is leaving the folks that helped us in the lurch, like we did in Vietnam when Nixon pulled the troops out.  Those folks would be slaughtered.  We need to get out of there with some kind of honor intact.

yep. no valid reason to go inthe first place, no reason to stay now. The sooner we leave the sooner a natural balance cna be restored to the country.\n\nForcing our idea of democracy and values on a country will never work.\n\nyou would have thought we'd learnt that by now. I guess there are no history books in Downing Street.

I think McCain and Powell compliment each other nicely. Their messages were very similar, while Powell served the State Dept., and they were both combat veterans. Very thoughtful, and sensitive men, with the will to make unpopular decisions, so long as they believe it's the right thing to do. This would be the Republican ticket I would vote for.

In my opinion,yes.She did far more for this country than anyone before or since,her handling of industrial crises and the beligerance of the argentinians was second to none,alas,like many great leaders,she was stabbed in the back by "friends and collegues". We could do with her now instead of the wishy washy jessies that we have as"leaders".Before anyone brands me as a rabid right winger,let me say I'm not, I am a trade union member of many years standing,I just think that she put certain people who would have ruined this country in their place.

No, I would vote for her because she is a capible, strong, intelligent lady. She would make a wonderful president and would have one of the best advisers that anybody could have, her husband the last legally elected president of the United States.
