Another Reason, Why Powell endorsed Obama
Here is another reason why Powell endorsed Obama, he couldn't be wrong twice.
1. He was, along with the Bush Administration wrong on WMD.
2. And now, it turns out he was wrong about the surge and its effectiveness.
Powell Opposed Surged 12/17/2006:
Today on CBS’s Face the Nation, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said he did not support surging tens of thousands more troops in Iraq, a plan that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) supports and that President Bush is expected to carry out. “I have not seen a case that persuades me that [Iraqi security] would be better” with more forces, he said.
Powell also pointed out that the military has no more troops to send. “There are really no additional troops. All we would be doing is keeping some of the troops who were there there longer and escalating or accelerating the arrival of other troops.”
