President Powell promised to look into aid packages for those countries but stated, "Don't hold your breath."

(cont'd) On the domestic front Vice President Lee Iaccoca met with U.S. manufacturers and building contractors to expedite the manufacture and installation of the recently discovered Thick Film Metallic Photovoltaics recently developed in South Africa. Areas where roofing has been replaced with this new power system have realized a 25% drop in fossil fuel usage. Retraining of displaced refinery workers is now underway in the effected areas.
The new power producing roofing is said to be cheaper per square foot than conventional cedar shingles and produces over 200 watts per square meter.

I'm sorry but Colin Powell isn't a president but a General. And the hositlites haven't stopped in Iraq.

In related news, former President George W. Bush was spotted in the Oval Office AGAIN, still looking for a corner to hide in. White House Chief of Staff Condi Rice is quoted as saying, " We may have to reconsider hiring him as White House janitor, it seemed like charity at the time, now we're thinking it was a mistake."
I believe Colin Powell would make an excellent President, but I'm hoping John McCain runs. Now THERE'S a veteran I can really respect.

I would vote for Powell as President, un like Bush and Cheney who are both draft dodgers Powell served, Powel knows war. Too bad Powel was fired for telling Bush the truth, he is not a butt kisser.
As for vacationing in Iraq, check with Cheney first since by 2011 he will own Iraq and his big oil friends will control the oil. I wonder what went on when Cheney met with big oil behind closed doors to write Bush energy policy? Did Iraq come up?

I'm not sure even global warming and polar ice cap melting could make Iraq all beach front.. which is what it would need to be the vacation capital of the world :P .. but I have to admit.. even as a democrat.. I'd have to give Colin Powell some serious thought.. he's a strong moral person.

I doubt anyone would vote Powell into office. He showed his true colors a few years ago and cannot be trusted.

When did Colin Powell switch to the democratic party? It sounds like he got a lot done, and we all know it is only democrats that get stuff accomplished.

I have a girlfriend, who when I say something like this says, "Dream on Alice, wonderland is right around the corner".
But it would be nice wouldn't it.
