The Bagman Cometh: Obama Embraces War Criminal's Endorsement
by Chris Floyd
Come, let's away to prison:
We two alone will sing like birds i' the cage:
When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down,
And ask of thee forgiveness: so we'll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too,
Who loses and who wins; who's in, who's out;
And take upon's the mystery of things,
As if we were God's spies: and we'll wear out,
In a wall'd prison, packs and sects of great ones,
That ebb and flow by the moon.

Obama: Powell will have a role in Adm.
Mon, 20 Oct 2008 15:41:56 GMT
Quote:Responding to Colin Powell's support, Democratic nominee Barack Obama says the four-star general could have a role in his Administration.
Appearing on NBC's "Today" Show on Monday, Obama said, "He will have a role as one of my advisers."
"Whether he wants to take a formal role, whether that's a good fit for him, is something we'd have to discuss," Obama said, according to AP.
Earlier on Sunday Powell, in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" expressed his strong support for Obama saying: "I think that Senator Obama brings a fresh set of eyes, fresh set of ideas to the table".
Endorsement of Obama by George bush's first secretary of state is said to boost the foreign policy and national security credentials of the presidential hopeful.
Meantime, Jimmy Carters' National Security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski described Powell's endorsement of Obama as a comprehensive indictment of the Republican side. "I was impressed by the comprehensive indictment of the current Republican ticket that was implicit in Powell's statement," Brzezinski said.
A Reuters-C-SPAN-Zogby poll said Monday that Obama has led McCain by between two and six points in all 14 days of polling.

I wonder what Powell will advise on: How to lay waste to Iran, perhaps?
