I don't know that that excuses him -- nm - con_carne Oct 19, 15:01 5
- While I don't think a lot of people see Powell that way, I still think they see him as a (high ranking) Republican supporting a Democrat. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 19, 15:10 4
  - He played bureaucrat patsy to help get his former soldiers killed in a war he didnn't believe in. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 15:42
  - I disagree. I think a number of people see him that way. - Mel Profit Oct 19, 15:35 1
    - I meant seeing him as being pressured into it. From what I saw on that Frontline piece, iirc, he didn't want to but accepted it - JaxSean Oct 19, 15:43
  - in fact, one that many believed would be the first black president -- nm - zork Oct 19, 15:20
