I know Powell has been dead for a few years now and was a massive success compared to the average person. But you can't help but think about his wasted potential.

>Gulf War hero that restored faith in the American military post Vietnam
>wife talked him out of running in 1996
>Bill Clinton knew he was absolutely fucked if Colin ran
>talked out of it again in 2000
>made the fall goy for the yellow cake uranium bullshit for Bush Jr

Was a major player in some key moments but all he had to do was say "I'm Colin Powell and I'm running for President" and the mantle of history was his. Really frustrating guy to read into.

it probably would have been better for race relations if the first black president was a republican and not obongo
>>

He was a fucking liar, iraeli's nigger for lying that Saddam had WMD, nuclear bombs, and all that stupid shit netanyahu made up.
gas yourself.
>>
Oldfag here, I really liked Powell. Struck me as the one guy to talk straight in a room full of bullshitters.
>>
>>545837115
he lied for the Iraq war for all the world to see
that shows he didnt have much character
>>
>>545837115
my understanding is he was never really interested in the presidency. he was happy serving in administrations and giving speeches but president just didn't appeal to him. also, he was just a typical D.C. red/blue coalition guy. I doubt he would've been a remarkable president

>>545837342
He blew it sucking Obama’s cock.

>Struck me as the one guy to talk straight
Literally fucking lied to Congress and the American people about WMDs
>>
WMD
Lol
>>
>>545837404
yes, that too. I just remember he became more of a democrat as the years went by and was firmly anti trump and regurgitating stale D.C. talking points
>>
>>545837461
>Lied to Congress
Congress and the professional class are in on things like wars or fake globohomo pandemics.That glownigga lied to American citizens and sadly institutional/corporate brainwashing prevents many from recognizing it.
>>
>>545837342
He didn't really need to be remarkable. One thing that was sort of remarkable was that he was recruited by both Dems and Republicans, and the Reform Party under Perot. He would've inherited a great economy and a relatively peaceful world in 1997.

It's been a long time but I think the story goes Cheney was all in on Iraq. Powell wanted Bin Laden, and specifically to clear up Afghanistan and then move onto Pakistan. It still would've been kosher but way less retarded, to be frank.

This thread isn't about Powell being based. It's just a better timeline if he ran and one termed Clinton in 1996. The world would be slightly better off today because of it. Someone of such obvious historical consequence pissing it away.
>>
>>545837115
As an Israeli, you know damn well that he was blackmailed, to abstain from the presidency, and to promote the fake vial in front of the UN. Because you know damn well that Project Obama was in the works since the 1960s.

I can see the alternate history you are weaving.

Collin Powell also supported Hilary's Clinton idea about bombing Serbia

This is how the decline of JewSA started and we ended up here.
>>
>>545837115
Outside of boomers and people with a particular interest in politics he'll just be known as the guy that lied about WMDs in Iraq

that's exactly what the job needs desu
we've had too many retarded personality presidents going back to reagan
