He was always a hack.  He just changed sides.

For some reason, he got credit for being a "great" general.  He was always a turd.  

Example, who gave HW Bush the advice to stop the destruction of the retreating Iraqis out of Kuwait? Hint: Powell. Result, Saddam stayed in power until 2003 because he had enough residual military capability to put down the post GW1 uprisings.  

Did we intervene to help the uprising in 91 (where we would have been greeted as Liberators...unlike 2003)?  Nope.  Let's not get involved in that. (i.e., finish what we start).  Result: Saddam stays in power, those opposed to him get destroyed and they never forget that we incited them to rise up and left them hanging.  

You don't need to be a military genius to know that the exploitation of a battlefield victory virtually always involves destroying a routed retreating enemy so they cannot reconstitute and fight again.
(Successful examples go as far back as Alexander who pursued Darius, or for an unsuccessful example, how about Meade letting Lee escape from G'burg, or zee Germans letting the BEF escape from Dunkirk?).

Anyway, Powell's "recommendation" flew in the face of common sense and basic military competence.

Powell spent his later military career trading on his standing as the "first black" this and that to be handed opportunities his talents and experience did not merit (Never served as a division commander, because he was handed political jobs...that's like commanding a battalion without ever having commanded a company. )

Powell is a political hack.  He has no further use for those who groomed him, so now he has turned as their utility is exhausted.

I personally believe he supports Zero out of racial solidarity.  There is no other explanation for such an about face.

"Gratitude is a disease of dogs."

TLDR:  Powell was an incompetent general who was promoted based on politics and his race.  He was spared the normal General Officer career progression because of his political status. He has switched sides because it no longer is to his benefit to support those who spoon fed him his career.

You are an optimist. Here's the realistic view: ObamaCare is already failing. The "remedy" for a failed government program is a larger, more expensive government program,  in this case "single payer" or "universal health care". It won't be decades from now.

But I have news for you guys.  We have had socialized medicine for a long time in the US.  Long before Obugnocare.  The Feds have controlled medicine through Medicare payouts and regulations.
View Quote


We've had a program that is socialized care, yes, but the government has not controlled all of healthcare like Obamacare allows them to. Ironically, now that they're trying to do just that, it's not about health care at all, they're just using a "health care" law to accomplish a far greater socialist agenda since through that law they can reach out and control anything they want to.
