WASHINGTON -- Retired Gen. Colin Powell offered a vigorous defense of Chuck Hagel’s nomination as the next Defense secretary, even as the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee added questions about Hagel’s temperament to lawmakers’ other concerns about the nominee, particularly his position on Israel.
Powell, former secretary of State to President George W. Bush and a widely respected member of the GOP, had voiced strong support for Hagel shortly after President Obama named the former Nebraska senator as his choice to replace Leon E. Panetta. On Sunday, Powell spelled out further why he regards Hagel as “superbly qualified” for the job.

Shut up, RINO
Make that COLON Powell, and you KNOW what they’re full of.
Well, there you go - I’M convinced!
Oh of course Hagel is qualified..after all, he hates the Jews, just like Obama, and just like Powell, who associates with the likes of Farrakhan
He points in whatever direction the Lefty wind is blowing.
Which means the correct course of action is in the opposite direction.
The man is such a major disappointment. What a waste!
I was beyond shocked when I saw Powell and Farrakhan together. What a viper. What a Benedict Arnold.
He’s the guy that stated the Captain Obvious doctrine.
“The US should go to war only as a last resort and then only with overwhelming force.”
Duh duh duh.
Who cares what Token thinks? He doesn’t have a vote.
An astute observation. Powell is just another Jew-hating libtard. I can't believe I once respected the man.
My rule of thumb...if Colon Bowel supports it I know that it’s harmful to this nation as well as to me and my family.It’s time to recognize that he no longer even *pretends* to be a Republican.

Who?.....
Powell isn’t even a Republican, he is a progressive libtard..anyone that can be buddy buddy with Farrakhan says it all..and calling the Republican party “Racist” because of the “Shuck and Jive” comment is RIDICULOUS because Jay Carney used the exact same phrase a year ago..guess it wasn’t racist when Commie Carney said it
No,he's never been a Republican.For some time he used the Party to advance himself but no longer feels it necessary to do so....thus,the Hagel endorsement as well as *two* endorsements of Osama Obama (the first one *might* have been explainable but *not* the second)
Powell needs to spend his time figuring out if his gardeners are illegal aliens and learn hip-hop moves....
Go AWAY!!!
