It's difficult to say....Both are and were brilliant to the level of genius during their tenure.

Colin Powell hands down. I find no admirable qualities to Condoleeza Rice's performance thus far. Colin Powell on the other hand I can find very few flaws in his entire career, both political and military. Colin Powell is the Only Republican that could get my vote for President in 2008.

I would say Colin Powell did a much better job than Condoleeza Rice has so far. Powell was devoted to honesty and being frank with the people he had to work with which is why he couldn't stand working for the president. Rice, I think, has little input as to the decisions she officially makes. I think she does a lot of head-nodding while listening to the president because she dare not speak up for herself which is what Powell did even in Iraq (the first time) when (the first) Bush screwed up.

Colin Powell! He proved his merit under the first Bush Administration (#41), under which I served. That President listened to his advice and acted accordingly.
Powell will not admit to the fact that he probably was telling Jr. that he was going down the wrong road, was admonished and decided to leave an administration that didn't value his opinion.
(this is purely supposition, but I know that Powell would not be the PUPPET that is C. Rice).
Do you now notice how many of #41's old staff are now advising #43??
Interesting..

What do you mean "was"? Colin Powell is a "has been" and Condi is a "is," although if you're Bill Clinton, you may wonder what the definition of "is" is.

Colin Powell did a better job but both are lying Black republicans and my question is Can you ever really trust A BLACK REPUBLICAN WORKING FOR THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION? Their credibility is so shot I have black friends who dont trust either one.
