Hillary: I'll Send Colin Powell Abroad As My Emissary
Hillary Clinton reportedly has an interesting idea for who would be a good representative of America: Colin Powell. According to Fox News, Hillary told a South Carolina audience that if elected she would ask people of both parties to go to bat before the world for a new American foreign policy."I won't even wait until I'm inaugurated, but as soon as I'm elected I'm going to be asking distinguished Americans of both parties — people like Colin Powell, for example, and others — who can represent our country well," Hillary said.
A spokeswoman for Powell told the New York Times that her boss has not been in touch with Hillary, and has no further comment. But this does invite an interesting question: Does Hillary really think Powell is still a credible, distinguished representative of America after his speech at the U.N. laying out all the supposed evidence for Iraqi WMD?
