he said he has no plans to campaign for him. Hmmm...General Powell...I think you just did, or did you not think this would be the headline on every liberal media channel and website on the planet? I met you several times in my life - my father worked for you as a deputy on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He has a beautiful letter from you that hangs on his wall, with pride - thanking him for the 30 years of service he provided to his country. He still glows talking about what it was like working for you, and I remember how excited he was when you were considering running for President. I just want to know...after Bill Clinton decimated the military for eight years to fund his social programs (ask the residents of Tidewater, Virginia area what his cuts did to the economy there)....WHY? WHAT HAS CHANGED YOUR MIND? Please enlighten us - you must have insight that we don't. BTW, my Dad has told me many stories about how you disagreed with the handling of both Iraq wars, and how you thought we could have ended them both without sending a single soldier into harm's way.....I'm sure your strategy wasn't the most politically correct, but I'm sure would have been very effective....WHAT HAS MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND? ARE YOU THAT SCARED OF THE JANE FONDAS OF THE WORLD?
