Colin Powell Follow-Up
After Secretary of State Powell's bizarre outburst in Congress, I recalled an interesting quote of his that sheds a bit of light on his feelings about President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard:
"I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units...Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country." (Colin Powell’s autobiography, My American Journey, p. 148)
Who else wants to see Powell pull this out at a state dinner???
AWOL Bush
