Colin Powell For Secretary of Defense
This would really upset the left. OMG
POWELL FOR SECDEF? – We’ve heard stranger things. POLITICO’s Laura Rozen blogs that his name is being floated lately as a viable replacement for Gates, who is expected to leave in the first half of next year. Rozen: “Powell has consulted with Obama on Iraq and Afghanistan, including in a White House visit the weekend before Obama rolled out his Afghanistan strategy last December. Indeed, Obama has consulted Powell so often, it has raised the eyebrows of some retired senior Democratic national security figures he has apparently consulted less so. Nevertheless, some Democratic national security hands and former military officials have in the past week raised Powell’s name as a possible candidate for Obama to consider to succeed the exceedingly hard-to-replace Gates.” http://politi.co/cGI8Na
