The powerful former chief of staff for Colin Powell in the State Department has unleashed a fierce attack
on the McCain-Palin ticket in a new article in FOREIGN POLICY.
Former Army colonel Lawrence Wilkerson has been an associate of Colin Powell since 1989 and then became
Powell's right-hand man in 2001 at Foggy Bottom.
You must read the entire interview! http://www.foreignpolicy.com/...
Here are some nuggets:
I was fully expecting the grand wizard of the Klu Klux Klan to arrive from Maryland and endorse McCain. I was becoming frightened that we were returning to 1968, when they assassinated Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Those were bad times.
My father used to say, ‘Larry beware of the left because they will bankrupt you; beware of the right because they will kill you.’
Skewers the Neo-cons!
With McCain, I’m alarmed by the lack of sophistication on issues such as Iran; the bomb Iran [idea] seemed to come out of [McCain’s] passion more than his judgment. I’m alarmed by the people around him; [many] are radicals. They are just like the Wolfowitzes and the Perles of the world. Calling them conservatives offends the title.
This is amazing stuff coming from a former Army colonel! Let's get this out there to continue the Powell bounce!
