Anyway, as for Cheney, lib may have problems with Powell vis a vis Iraq War & etc, Gen Powell's service and achievement is exemplary (someone posted this over at Huff Post):

Soldier's Medal

Purple Heart
Air Medal
Joint Service Commendation Medal
Army Commendation Medal
Presidential Medal of Freedom
Presidential Citizens Medal
National Defense Service Medal
Vietnam Service Medal
Army Service Ribbon
Army Overseas Service Ribbon

Four-star general in the United States Army.
65th United States Secretary of State (2001-2005), serving under President George W. Bush. National Security Advisor (1987″1989)
Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Army Forces Command (1989)
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989″1993)

I wanted to see the FIRST AFRICAN PLAYMATE EVER!

Just a bunch of links leading to nowhere land.

This is a blatant attempt to erase the BLACK WOMAN, make her invisible.
