And after all that he answers the question, and in a very good well manner.

What an evil neocon.

Why do you always bring me up in half of your posts? Is it because of love? :heart:

I guess if a poster supports ethnicity-based legislation, racism, apartheid, etc. & tries to justify it in some awkward way, I guess it's your posting style.

Wow, that clip is pretty interesting.

Powell has consistently been the only one in this administration I've been able to stomach, though he lost quite a bit of credibility with me when he rolled over on Iraq. Good for him to tell off that aid. I hope she doesn't have a job anymore.

Well, Russert is a great newsman first. Although he gives most Republicans straight balls at 50mph, he has shown less and less patience with the fudging by this Administration. I would think Powell would be one of his favorite people and I'm sure this interview was a good one for Powell as a result. I haven't had a chance to check it out fully yet, but will do so.

Regarding McCain and Biden the Blusterer, I'll take McCain any day. Biden is usually right on target, though, even if he is a flaming jackass.

I'm just amazed McCain isn't President. And he probably will be too old in 4 years. Too bad, because the country missed a major opportunity to have a straight shooter sitting in the cat bird seat. :(

Coming from someone who don't think that we are all equal and that jews are inferior, i take that comment lightly.

Considering that you've said jews are inferior, called blacks, hispanics, american-indians fvckers and want them to die, support ethnicity-based discrimination, stated that babies born to minorities should be neutered so they can't procreate, stated that minorities are beneath dog poo in the evolutionary scale, and have a Hitler tattoo on your right shoulder, I'll take that comment lightly, too.

From what I understand, Russert went over the 10 minutes that he had with the secretary. True or not?

And Powell did not care. Powell berated his aid. Russert was in the middle of a question, a question she apparently didn't want him to answer. Why didn't she stop the interview at the 10 min. mark, hmmm??

She should have signaled to powell the 10minutes were up not acted like a fool. I'm no fan of the current administration, but I trust Powell. Let the man speak woman :p

lol, no, some of that is his sarcasm too. He's just lying about me saying that I hate Jews, so I'm returning the favor. I anger him, so he thinks that means I hate all Jews (he claims to be Jewish) even though I post threads about the treatment of Jews and condemn hostility towards them and other groups. It's people like him with their warped views that want to commit genocide - 1 black commits a murder, kill them all.

However, he did say that he would tell anti-apartheid activists that everyone is equal (people were NOT equal under apartheid) and he supports ethnicity-based government discrimination (he's stated multiple times his support for this).

People will always be equal, but under apartheid they were not treated equally was what i said, how on earth he can equate that with me supporting apartheid i have no idea. The claim that people are not equal is his, not mine.

The rest is made up except for the fact that no government gives automatic citizenship to all immigrants and i don't think that one of the newest members of the EU, Slovenia, needs to do that either, he does, he is for it as long as it's not HIS country, if he is for it in HIS country i do not know, he refuses to answer that question.

He trolls his boat here, trying to make me and others into something that we are definently not, he will keep trolling his boat, gently down the stream.

Pathetic? Yes, of course he is.

The Presence, it is standard procedure to inform the interviewer of how much time there is left, to try to break off the interview several minutes after it should have ended by just shoving the camera aside is just stupid and it is obvious it was done because the aide didn't like Russerts question.

The correct way would be to say "last question" after nine minutes.

The only one who did anything wrong there was the aide.

Russert was on Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer today.

Russert said he heard in his earpiece to "wrap it up". That's when he went into his finall question:

"Finally, Mr. Secretary, in February of 2003, you placed your enormous personal credibility before the United Nations and laid out a case against Saddam Hussein, citing." And the Emily Miller tried to end the interview.

I asked what you would say to anti-apartheid activists. You said that you would tell them that everyone is equal.

Slovenia granted automatic citizenship based on ethnicity. If you were not of one certain ethnicity, you had to apply for citizenship. They lived there, worked there, fought for the country, one was a former Miss Slovenia, etc. You support this in many threads, including this one. 95% of the country voted that some of these minorities should not be granted citizenship, and are effectively not even viewed as humans by the government.

Talking about automatically giving immigrants citizenship isn't relavent because they weren't immigrants. That's just another awkward and twisted reasoning you're trying to use. You can't be an immigrant if you're born there.
