  • Colin Powell is a former Secretary of State.
  • Powell has said, "There can be no doubt that Saddam Hussein has biological weapons and the capability to rapidly produce more, many more." Powell also said that there was "no doubt" that Saddam was getting components for nuclear weapons. Powell said further that "every statement [was] backed up by sources, solid sources." Powell later admitted he was misinfomed. He blamed himself and his advisers.
  • Powell will rarely advise you on major life issues, such as whether to take a promotion in another city or whether to kill your wife. However, if you're having trouble installing a chin-up bar, you can expect a visit from Colin Powell.
  • Colin Powell (pronounced Co-lin damn it!) used to be our fearless President's black friend. But too much facty talk about how the liberation of Iraq was really going cost him the position. So he was replaced by Condoleeza Rice, who is both sexier and more obedient. Colin spends his 'retirement' forlornly polishing his Four Stars and thinking about what might have been if he hadn't mouthed off quite so much. During rare piques of bitterness he also appears on TV and offers vague criticisms of his former boss.
  • Powell ne dispense généralement pas de conseils en rapport avec les choix cruciaux de votre vie tels qu'accepter une promotion dans une autre ville ou décider ou non de tuer votre femme. Par contre, si vous avez du mal à installer un porte manteaux mural, vous pouvez vous attendre à une visite de Colin Powell.
