So now we have old ‘Colon’ Powell coming out and throwing his support behind Hagel. I guess that’s, somehow, supposed to feel just oh so much better about our potential new Secretary of Defense, who is a hater of Israel, and unabashedly so. Right, ‘Colon,’ a guy who can so casually put his race before his country, by voting for a man who has absolutely no business being our president, and somehow just because he says Hagel’s a good guy, we’re supposed to happily go along with his assessment. And insisting that we can trust him because he claims to still be a Republican, ‘Colon’ said, on Sunday on NBC’s "Meet the Press," that Chuck Hagel is "superbly qualified" to be the next secretary of state and he is confident that the former Nebraska senator "will do a great job."
"I think he gets confirmed," ‘Colon’ asserted. "He’s superbly qualified based on his overall record, based on his service to the country, based on how he feels about troops and veterans and their families." ‘Colon’, who supported Barry "Almighty" in each of his election bids, for no other reason than because both men are black, spoke at length about Hagel’s supposed accomplishments, going through them chronologically beginning with the two-time senator’s military duty in Vietnam. Big freaking deal, John Kerry-Heinz also spent some time in Vietnam, albeit, most likely, less time than did Hagel. Hell, Kerry-Heinz spent less time in Vietnam than everybody, so as far as that being some kind of a qualifier, for either man, for the jobs that they have been nominated for, is just plain silly.
And in speaking about Hagel, our old friend, ‘Colon,’ noted that the president's nominee has a "very, very distinguished public-service record that he can stand on." Colon went on to add, "It might be useful just to stand back and take a look at this man overall." Doing his best to bolster Hagel, ‘colon’ went on to say, "This is a guy who knows veterans, knows the troops, knows the USO. I’ll tell you who thinks that makes him a good candidate for secretary of defense — the men and women in the Armed Forces of the United States and their parents, who know that this is a guy who will be very careful putting their lives at risk because he put his life at risk. He knows what war is." Blah, blah, blah. Look, ‘Colon’ is nowhere near deserving of the amount of respect that he seems to get.
Regarding the controversial comments about Iran and Israel that have some politicians questioning Hagel's fitness to serve, ‘Colon’ attempted to provide some cover to Hagel saying, "he is a fellow who speaks his mind. He sometimes gets in trouble with those who think he should not speak his mind. He says what he believes, and he sticks with it." Look, there’s a big difference from merely "speaking one’s mind" and saying of the things that Hagel has said about Israel. And with respect to Hagel’s comments describing the war in Iraq as a foreign-policy blunder, ‘Colon’, acknowledged that the U.S. "did not execute the operation well." But apparently not ready to go too far with some of his comments, he did defend the decision of President George W. Bush to go to war.
"The president had more-than-sufficient basis to believe that there were weapons of mass destruction that were a danger to the world, and that the possibility of those weapons going to terrorists." ‘Colon’ said he believes Hagel "will be careful" is deciding whether to use military force against Iran. "It’s President Obama, not President McCain, and not President Romney," he said. "The American people have made it clear that they are not particularly interested in finding new conflicts to get into, and they’re not particularly interested in saying . . . sanctions are just a road bump on the way to bombing." And as we have seen in the past on so many different occasions, the policy of appeasement has always netted such spectacular, and positive, results.
Next, David ‘I’m a Douche Bag‘ Gregory pressed ‘Colon’ as to whether he can still call himself a Republican, and in responding ‘Colon’ revealed just how much of a pathetic fraud he has become as he lashed out at what he described as being the right-wing elements of the party. And in what can only be seen as yet another attempt by ‘Colon’ to further reduce what little credibility he may still have among some in the GOP, he essentially played the raced card. He did so by attempting to perpetuate the myth that it’s those same "right-wing elements" who, he said, harbor "a dark vein of intolerance" against minorities and lower-income earners. He them continued with is whining, saying, "When I see a former governor say that the president is shucking and jiving, that’s a racial-era, slave term."
He then to proceeded to take further aim at Romney, saying, "When I see another former governor, after the president’s first debate, where he didn’t do very well, says that the president was lazy . . . now, it may not mean anything to most Americans, but to those of us who are African-American, the second word is shiftless, and then there’s a third word that goes along with it." Saying, "The party has gathered unto itself a reputation that it is the party of the rich." What a load of shit, and ‘Colon’ should know better. It’s the Democrat Party that has become the party of the rich, and for Colon to make his claim to the contrary makes it quite apparent the besides being a fraud, he’s also a liar. Some guys will say or do anything to grab even a little time in the spotlight.
