Has any of you heard that if O'Bama were to win the democratic nomination that he would choose Colin Powell as his running mate?

I heard it from my friends, but I'm just wondering if they were conjuring up a good story for the sake of "party talk".

I love O'Bama, but I love Colin Powell even MORE SO!!!

If this has any validity to it, McCain doesn't stand a chance.

... Let's hope not.

Colin 'Massweapons in Iraq' Powell? I don't think this guy can show his face in politics anymore.

Why would he pick a person who was complicit in lying to the American people and the UN about Iraq?

I also wouldn't buy into the idea that Powell is some bastion of integrity and conscience for the Republican party.

...because he was set up to fail. His whole premise for resigning was realizing that he was preaching to the world based on false information.

He realized that he had either become intentionally set up to by one of the worst presidential regimes in US history to convince the world to get a green light to go into Iraq. It's that or he realized the regime he worked for is not intelligent to make sure they get their facts first, before deciding to wage war.



If I'm wrong, someone please enlighten me because I think Colin Powell is someone that the US is "ga-ga" for.

Anywho... he's an easy target for any political opponent. And not just because he has to lose weight.

A little too late.

Plus, without menaing anything with it, a black President and black vice-president... that's stretching it a bit with US openmindedness at the moment.

irregardless, his name is rather tainted politically, even if Bush had to use the false information gained through torture to convince Powell to give that speech.

Though I doubt Powell will go back in the service of the Republicans.

I'm not sure why. He was complicit during the UN report when he knew they were lies. Nothing about him surprises me anymore.

Edit: Although I must admit, I am VERY surprised they didn't just plant some stuff and say it was alraedy there.

That makes me wonder to this day...

I agree. The Bush administration cold have avoided this shit storm if they would have just planted evidence of at LEAST chemical warfare. This makes me think that they are more stupid than corrupt.

That's too conveninent. I'm a little concerned about that still.

Bush is not that smart.

One of the recent waterboarding admission by the Americans was of an Jihadi (al libbi comes to mind for some reason, though I should really know the name...).

It was through him that the "proofs" of chemicals and what have you were given. Powel clearly was skeptical of Iraq, but was given the information obtained through torture as though it were the best info the CIA had. He has come out and said that the UN speech was the most embarrassing moment of his career.

Complicit is too strong of a word. It is very hard to hold someone responsible for not knowing something which people were actively against their knowing. The same as Clinton voting for the war. In both cases, these people were lied to and completely misled.

There is an argument for them not stepping far enough outside of the box or trusting the CIA more than foreign intelligence, but I wouldn't say for complicity.

Edit: Even though movies are always pretty biased, Taxi to the Darkside is a REALLY good film about American Torture, and talks about this specific case.

There's a book by James Risen titled "State of War" that explains in very intricate detail what the CIA did and did not know. ( I read a few others but this one did the best job explaining)

The main informant was some guy code-named "Curveball." Long story short, he had close ties to the Hussein regime BUT he was in custody of Germans. The Germans would not given him up so all their information was not even through direct interview. Stuff like the "mobile biological factories" (or something like that) where simply tankers filled with helium.

The Germans told the CIA NOT TO INCLUDE THE INFORMATION FORM CURVEBALL IN THE REPORT TO THE U.N. Oh well.

Edit: Forgot to mention that Powell also knew about the fallacies. A whole section of the book is dedicated to Powell, and the "betrayal" of the Bush administration.

Bye bye Obama then if he's running with Powell.

agreed. I would say watch the Taxi to the Darkside film, it explains what I am talking about, but ya, they totally disregarded any conflicting info

And I guess they'll be standing side-by-side on the dais, each one raising a fist when they receive the nomination?

No.

actually it would, or else it would simply be nothing.

Well, yeah, but the phrase generally means ''I know very little''. To pick apart the phrase seems completely needless, it's not even pedantic - just pointless.

Originally posted by Schecter

It is simply nothing. It's people's way of saying "I'm afraid I'm probably wrong when I say this but I want to say it anyway so if you could all do me a favor and be nice when it becomes apparent I'm a total idiot I would really appreciate your civil manners"

yet im right. so it all works out for the best, doesnt it?

I have to side with Quark, I take it as a means to say "I don't know", without actually saying "I don't know".

Chill is correct too, picking apart a silly phrase like that is pointless, so lets just laugh at XYZ, it can serve as a bonding agent.

semen also makes a nice bonding agent

That Obama dude scares me. I keep thinking he's been keeping a clean record/background so he could be plotting his first, only, and biggest terrorist attack on America if he is elected.

It's already been hi-jacked from me... a dude came by with a different interpretation of it, he was hit and killed by a car, then a bunch aholes propped his image on a pedestal and added further nonsense to it, thereby invalidating the original message. In short, it's little more than a giant cluster-****, so we're both screwed.

wow, it took less than an hour for it's original lesson to become totally lost.

Why would you do that when you can always just watch paranoid people?

But how do you find one? They're masters at detecting people who watch them and hiding for them.
