How much integrety and credibility does Collin ( sp?) Powell have left?

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.

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.

Personally I think if you have to cite the fact that you appointed two Black Citizens to such high positions, you did it because you wanted to use that cite.  Don't get me wrong, I think Powell and Rice are highly qualified for the positions, but I'm guessing there are others of many other races that are equals to them.  So either they are better suited to the position (Very Likely) or Bush needed some help and decided to make himself look good while also bringing on highly qualified people (More likely).  I hate to say that, but with everything else the administation has done and the way they spin everything (They aren't the only side doing it might I add) to fit a need makes me question it.\n\nI do think for the most part things have stayed the same, excpet for Muslims which are now viewed as some sort of enemy (A great example of this is Army commercials that feature soldiers watching "Terrorists", all of which are wearing turbans and in deserts.\n\nOh and I think Powell quit because he couldn't sacrifice his integrity for Bush.  "Condie" has now been made somewhat of a spokesperson, I see her more and more now.  It's also a good way to place blame, even if she didn't write the words, she said them and to most people, whoever said the words is guilty of creating them.  We do the same thing to any other political official good or bad. For example, people giving presidents credit for speeches that they didn't write.  For speaking the way they do takes practice which is also coached, it's more and more common now.  We don't see many Leaders in Washington that are naturally born leaders, the kind that didn't need speech writers.  The kind that related to the American public, and not one side or the other.\n\nI apologize for the novel.

Considering you've got Ken Hitchcock sitting out there...assuming he would want the job...I doubt you're seeing anything permanent.\n\nJust hope that Mike Keenan doesn't get this job.  He's good for the first six months he's there, but then disaster hits.

I am a Democrat. And I am hoping that Rudy Giuliani, the GOP ex-mayor of NYC, will run for President. I think Colin Powell is the greatest American living today. I think Reagan did a great job of restoring the USA to respect and dignity after Watergate and Iran. I think John McCain is one of the smartest men I've ever heard speak. \n\nYou will notice, though, that none of these people were part of the soon-to-be-ex leadership in Washington.

I'm sorry to say that I have finally resigned myself to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter the party - they're all agenda-pushing self- serving weasels.  Until we find a political leader with absolute integrity and who cannot be corrupted, one party in the office is just as good or bad as the next.

Are you kidding with this question?  His approval rating is 29%.  Does that tell you anything?

political party allegiance is slowly taking precedence over the issues. i believe they shovel whatever they can out in order to keep their job, thats what it essentially is, they are competing with one another for their jobs. some still have real convictions, but after the past election, having to deal with the crap the republicans pulled, i feel they have generally committed themselves to each other rather than the cause, so i declare myself an independent now, because my convictions are more important than my party allegiance. \n\nso, more yes than no, but im not going to agree with certainty either way.\n\n"you can fool all of the people some of the time; and you can fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."\n-abraham lincoln

You have to recognize that due to the recent vote of non-confidence as well as Conservative promise to bring more accountability to the Canadian Government we are definitely as an informed public going to keep our eyes and ears open to any scandal or misrepresentation of governance.  Being aware of this I think the Conservatives are going to go out of their way to be squeaky clean.  (even though they have recently been found to have some undocumented Campaign contributions). \n\nUnfortunately I think we will have a full term with Harper.  This isn't necessarily a bad thing however.  The liberals need some time to reorganize and groom a new party leader. \n\nIn the mean time we can just be thankful that it is a minority government.

I am not sure you are any longer interested in this, since the election results are out. For detailed reports, you need to check the reports his campaign filed with election commission.\n\ncc

Yes , he will serve the rest of his term. He has let down the Conservative voters who put him in office.  I am very nervous about the next election though I can not see a clear candidate to represent all of America. This nation is so split at this point. I am afraid there is no middle ground anymore. I usually vote republican but with the way things are going I'm not sure what to vote anymore. I like Evan Bhye as a Democratic nominee and would vote for him but i cant see a Conservative democrat getting the nomination.

Which supplemental are you referring to?  All the other approps bills are making their way through the process now...most of them now in the Senate.

Bernake is establishing his credibility in terms of his willingness to fight inflation.  Greenspan did the same thing when he first took over the federal reserve chairmanship.  I think you will see a continued tightening of monetary policy by Bernake as long as inflation numbers are above 3% as he establishes his credibilty in terms of keeping inflation between 2-3%.

According to chicago tribune analysis, Phil has only been right 39% of the time.\n\nOn, the other hand Malverne Mel and Staten Island Chuck who both saw NO shadow are at 75% and 87% respectively

The administration is finally so trapped and lost in its own lies and incompetence, it has already thrown so many of its own under various busses, and it has lost so much credibility at home and abroad that their attack dogs no longer have teeth – maybe they will gum Powell a little.

Booz Allen Hamilton typically have strong relationship with governments.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!

Everyone has a different opinion, some say he is a horrible president, while others on the opposite end of the spectrum. I think bush has made more mistakes than he has good choices in his term and, I think that powell would make a good president
