Colin Powell
It seems to me that Colin Powell would be a great nominee for the 2008 republican party. I think I've heard talk that he personally doesn't want the position, but I'm not completely sure. Can someone a little more knowledgeable on the subject inform me why he isn't talked about more for the nomination?

He won't be in the Bush Admin if there is a second term. I have a feeling he has no use for the guy and that the feeling is mutual.

Re: Colin Powell
IIRC, Powell made a promise to his wife that he would never run for President due to her concerns about his (and his family) safety. I believe she told him that she would divorce him if he choose to run.

Re: Colin Powell
I don't get something Colin Powell just said. In regards to whether North Korea is developing nuclear weapons he said, "we won't reward them for something they shouldn't do anyway." When what I read in the paper (granted, this is my college paper) was that all N. Korea wanted was assurances that the US would not attack them. This hardly strikes me as a "reward." Moreover, why shouldn't N. Korea develop nuclear weapons? We attacked Iraq cause they can't defend themselves, if N. Korea didn't have weapons we'd probably attack them too. Besides, the US has nuclear weapons.

Are you nuts? We attacked Iraq cause they can't defend themselves, if N. Korea didn't have weapons we'd probably attack them too. You're a little off here, my friend. Besides, the US has nuclear weapons. That doesn't change the fact that it would incredibly bad for everyone if N. Korea developed their own.

Re: Colin Powell
I absolutely hate Powell. I would take Kerry over him. In fact, I hate his so much I would volunteer for the opposition.
He is nothing but a wuss career military man that is on the wrong side of every issue and he screws up everything he touches.
