Hillary Says Colin Powell For Foreign Policy Expert If Elected
Clinton Says She'd Tap Colin Powell for Foreign Policy Expertise If Elected
SPARTANBURG, S.C.
Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that if elected U.S. president she would call on former Secretary of State Colin Powell as part of a bipartisan diplomatic delegation to be sent abroad to restore America's image.
Noting Powell's foreign policy expertise, Clinton publicly offered fresh details in her plan — often described in general terms — that she says she would institute before her would-be inauguration.
Clinton has previously mentioned Powell and George H.W. Bush as potential members of that delegation during interviews, but rarely names names when speaking publicly.
But Tuesday she specifically told a group of black ministers who were endorsing her in Spartanburg, S.C., that to restore the country's reputation, she would tap the man who under President Bush led the foreign policy argument to invade Iraq in pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.
"I won't even wait until I'm inaugurated, but as soon as I'm elected I'm going to be asking distinguished Americans of both parties — people like Colin Powell, for example and others — who can represent our country well, including someone I know very well, " she said smiling while making reference to her husband and former President Bill Clinton. "Because I want to send a message heard across the world. The era of cowboy diplomacy is over."

The over-reaching hubris of this woman is absolutely stunning. Have you ever noticed that every sentence out of her mouth has 3 or 4 "I's" in it? That's all I can say right now without popping a blood vessel in my head.
Remember when Powell let it be known, during the Florida recount, when everyone expected GWB to pick him as Secretary of State, that he'd be open to serving in a Gore administration if Gore won Florida? And then of course he kept quiet during the Valerie Plame uproar, all the while knowing that Richard Armitage was the leaker, even though he was still the Secretary of State and the controversy was damaging to President Bush.
Hey Colin, just a slight warning for you, don't forget about the other black man the Clinton's had on their team, Ron Brown, he ended up dead in an airplane crash. If you sign on with Hillary be alert at all times. I don't like Powell at all, but I do so hate to have to go through another Clinton GATE of any kind. We had so many of them when Bill was President.

I was stationed with another senior NCO who knew most of the crewmembers who died on Ron Brown's plane. When he heard the cause of the crash, he called it "Bullshit". He said they've flew that route too many times to make that type of fatal mistake.
What's wrong with America's image? I think it's just fine. Both France and Canada have elected more Conservative governments which are more open to us. Other than third world Hellholes like Venezuela and Iran along with the Communist country of Russia, what's the problem? I for one want to be known as a country that won't take any crap from those whose existence is dependent on our aid and good will.

We've already had a small taste of Hillary style rule when Pelosi took charge, just think about Powell going to the UN for every decision,"please Monkey Moon can we have one firearm to defend our cities?" Bill strong arming for funds and raping their interns, Norman Hsu as secretary of the treasury and George Soros topping the Federal Reserve, sorry Bernankie and Sandy Berger head of homeland security.
It won't matter much once the Law Of The Sea treaty, that Bush supports, passes, we as a nation will be a landlocked entity begging for permission to launce a boat, fly over water not to mention the loss of natural resources. Break out that made in China bicycle while you're at it.
Hillary and the Democrats only concern about our national image is how we are viewed around the world by their own kind, the Communists, Marxists, Maoists, the Norks, and the scummy muzzies.

I don't know what time that picture was taken but she looks terrible. Can you imagine what she must look like in the morning ? Reminds me of the Song, "I'm married a waitress and I don't even know her name."

She is so damn full of herself, isn't she?
She has this delusion (and they lock people up for being delusional) that she is going to convert this country into Socialism.
Not gonna happen. Not in my lifetime or in my descendants lifetimes.
Our ancestors made this land so wonderful and great that we can't let her fail and fall.
I'm so angry about this that I made my myspace very patriotic and put Mansions of the Lord from We were Soldiers on it. I'm going to keep it patriotic and start showing how PROUD I AM to be AMERICAN!
I may be of other races, but I was born here and I will NOT let Hitlery change her for anything!
What a BITCH!

Bob, wow, thank you so much for sharing about that. So many lives no longer exist because they knew the Clinton's. Very scary.
I agree with you. America's image is just fine among those I want to like us. The others that don't they have not been our true friends anyway.

Bob F: On Good Friday evening after Ron Paul's plane went down, I was told to report to Philly Airport in the morning - in dress blues - and pick up the Hamilton family and bring them back to DAFB, where the bodies and Clinton arrived in the late afternoon...To see the Clinton's at a formal US military grievance ceremony made me puke! "Heil to the scumbag in chief!" Small world my friend.
