As Michelle points out, it is a little strange that Powell could be so comfortable endorsing a candidate with such dangerous and dimwitted views on Iraq. Views that Powell himself has criticized as the wrong way to proceed.

Case in point:

I have a huge amount of respect for Gen. Powell and honestly value his opinion. The way the Bush administration pushed him out when he was the only guy with real experience on the ground in Iraq was monumentally stupid.

Having said that, Powell’s endorsement doesn’t make any sense. I get that he’s furious over the way the Bush administration treated him, and by extension the Republican party. However, it’s inconceivable that a distinguished military man like Powell could support a left-winger like Barack Obama.

Regardless of his rhetoric, Obama is a no friend of the military. He’s a peacenik who’s spent his entire adult life surrounding himself with Commie Pinkos like Bill Ayres.

Barack Obama is the most liberal candidate ever to run for President. If he wins he’ll be backed up by the most liberal Congress in the history of America.

Say it ain’t so, General.
