Colin Powel Wants to Rehab his Rep.

Powell May Support a Democrat or Independent This Year.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a Republican who served under President Bush, said Friday he may not back the GOP presidential nominee in November, telling CNN that “I am keeping my options open at the moment.”

“I have voted for members of both parties in the course of my adult life,” Powell, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “And as I said earlier, I will vote for the candidate I think can do the best job for America, whether that candidate is a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent.”

Hey Colin, big fave, mmm’kay? Fuck. Off. Don’t come sidling around the Democrats, who already have PLENTY of credibility problems of their own, trying to clean up your reputation and make yourself out to be some kind of independent man of character and integrity.

No one, but NO ONE, forgotten your role in the Iraq debacle with your little vial of semen or whatever it was you were pretending was nerve gas at the UN. Do you honestly think any Democrat with half a brain wants you showing up doling out your endorsement? My God, NAMBLA would be preferable to you: at least they admit what they are. Typhoid Mary would be preferable to a Powell endorsement. ED FUCKING GEIN would be preferable to a Powell endorsement.

You are a disgrace, Mr. Powell, one of many directly responsible for the deaths of nearly 4,000 American soldiers and counting. How many of your compatriots have come home legless, armless, faceless, psychotic? You knew the case for war was “bullshit”, and yet there you were holding up your sample to the UN.

If you had any honor at all in your Mai-Lai covering-up body, you would have taken out your service revolver long ago and put that thing to good use.

But do NOT, DO NOT, come slinking around the Democratic Party’s candidates or unaffiliated voters like the mangy dog you are thinking you can rehab your reputation through association. I realize you’re desperate to remove the albatross you’ve hung around your neck, but dude it is WAY too late for that. You will always be that guy that prostituted what remained of his integrity to enable a war based on lies. I hope they paid you well.

Go jump in a lake. Preferably from off a very tall bridge, with a cinder block or two chained to your ankle.

False Advertising! I went to your blog and found the very same diary, without the promised extra spite!

Colin Powell is a miserable excuse for a human being. I’ll stop there.

Maybe it’s time for a tell-all book. But then Bushco will claim that these are sensitive issues of national security and halt the release. Yes, when there is danger of the truth being told national security becomes at risk.

Fuck. Off.

Amen to that.

And even if Powell somehow managed to achieve some kind of credible absolution for Iraq, he still has the whitewash of My Lai to answer for.

Powell has been in charge of Whitewashing not 1 but 2 of our nation’s greatest shames :

Powell and My Lai

The first reports claimed that “128 Vietcong and 22 civilians” were killed in the village during a “fierce fire fight”. General William C. Westmoreland, MACV commander, congratulated the unit on the “outstanding job”.[citation needed] As related at the time by the Army’s Stars and Stripes magazine, “U.S. infantrymen had killed 128 Communists in a bloody day-long battle.”

Initial investigations of the My Lai operation were undertaken by the 11th Light Infantry Brigade’s commanding officer, Colonel Henderson, under orders from the Americal Division’s executive officer, Brigadier General George H. Young. Henderson interviewed several soldiers involved in the incident, then issued a written report in late April claiming that some 22 civilians were inadvertently killed during the operation. The army at this time was still describing the events at My Lai as a military victory that had resulted in the deaths of 128 enemy combatants.

Six months later, Tom Glen, a 21-year-old soldier of the 11th Light Infantry Brigade, wrote a letter to General Creighton Abrams, the new overall commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam, accusing the Americal Division (and other entire units of the U.S. military) of routine and pervasive brutality against Vietnamese civilians. The letter was detailed and its contents echoed complaints received from other soldiers.

Colin Powell, then a 31-year-old Army Major, was charged with investigating the letter, which did not specifically reference My Lai (Glen had limited knowledge of the events there). In his report Powell wrote: “In direct refutation of this portrayal is the fact that relations between Americal soldiers and the Vietnamese people are excellent.” Powell’s handling of the assignment was later characterized by some observers as “white-washing” the atrocities of My Lai.[23] In May 2004, Powell, then United States Secretary of State, told CNN’s Larry King, “I mean, I was in a unit that was responsible for My Lai. I got there after My Lai happened. So, in war, these sorts of horrible things happen every now and again, but they are still to be deplored.”[24]
