I don’t doubt that Kristol was trying to smoke out Powell but this is not any smack-down of Obambi (yet). So far as I have seen, all Powell has denied is that he will be physically present at the DNC. That does not mean he won’t endorse Obambi and it does not imply that he won’t make some kind of statement or speech away from the DNC, possibly beamed into the convention or possibly not.
So, if Kristol is trying to smoke out Powell it hasn’t worked (yet) and Powell’s non-denial denial does not mean squat (yet). We’ll have to see how it plays out.....
what the F*** is the truth??
