Former Secretary of State Colin Powell on Sunday dismissed as "cheap shots" the criticism leveled at him and others in Vice President Dick Cheney's memoir.

It was the latest volley in a clash that stretches back to their first years in the George W. Bush administration.

Please recall how this 'Republican' vigorously supported Obama in 2008 . Please recall the role he had in calling off American response to Saddam after Gulf War 1 . And his own plethora of disloyal comments from 2004 onwards . This is certainly a case of the pot calling the kettle black .

Colin isn’t worthy to carry Cheney’s j-strap.

Powell long since outed himself as a political hack. What admiration I had for him at one time is long gone. Too bad he could not keep his mouth shut.

Hmmm...an American Patriot vs. a racist. Yeah, I’ll side with VP Cheney.

FUCP! I have more respect for what gets flushed down my toilet than you.

Just seeing the headline makes me want to buy Cheney’s book!

That’s the truth.

Never liked Powell...

As do I! About time someone called out this Obama loving racist jerk.

[lahargis]

Cheney said “Heads would roll” or something like that. Now, I am going to have to buy the book. Sounds too good.

Colin, if you’re getting cheap-shotted at will by a guy with an battery-powered internal heart pump...you need to retire from public life before you embarrass yourself any further.

[Hotdog]

Didn’t he vote and support Bozo (Obama)?...need I say more?

[jerseyrocks]

I wonder what Mr.Powell has in his past that he didn’t want to run for President or VP position? Since electing the first Black President was so important to him above his “principles”, why didn’t he run himself?

[editor-surveyor]

The affirmative action General took cheap shots at American culture constantly, so he should know what a cheap shot is.

[Soul Seeker]

Awwwww...maybe Cheney should be more like Colin. Take cheap shots cowardly through anonymous quotes. Wasn’t Powell famous for his leaks and despicable shots sent to friendly liberal writers while a part of the Bush administration.

[Perdogg]

Colon was Bob Woodward’s anon source for the Gulf War book “The Commanders”

[clintonh8r]

Powell never could take a punch.
