Colin Powell Warns Of Crisis, Too

While everyone is pointing out Biden's "gaffe" on a potential crisis confronting Obama early and his administration getting it wrong, an alert reader pointed out the sound clip I edited below.

Michael Medved picked up on it, apparently Colin Powell doesn't think it'll be six months. Why are Democrats trying to frighten America, I thought that was out of bounds in an election year? Next they'll be showing clips from 9/11, drawing fire from their hero Keith Olbermann.

Which btw apparently Obama watches. He apologized for "messing up" Olbermann's "Countdown" - see the first 15 seconds here. An Olbermann fan in the White House with an International crisis going on? Does that really make you feel more secure?

So, Colin Powell knows with a certainty that there will be an international crisis on January 21st or 22nd? What the heck is going on?

I think Powell is making a conditional statement...

If Obama is elected, he'll *cause* an international crisis within days of inauguration.

This asshat should stick to doing movie reviews. I give his analysis a big thumbs down!

No brain scans in released Biden medical records
Vice presidential candidate had brain surgery in 1988 to repair 2 aneurysms
Tribune staff report
October 21, 2008

Newly released medical records from vice presidential candidate Joe Biden do not include the results of any recent brain scans, which some experts consider necessary to assess whether the senator is at risk for a repeat of the brain aneurysms that nearly killed him 20 years ago.

Gee..maybe the scans found that;

1. His head looked like an empty coconut
2. It was filled with dog crap
3. It showed the thousands of plugs from his hair transplants

Hmmmmmm I wonder why they will not release the records....

Of coarse there will be a crisis.
It won't come in the form of a terror attack, against Americans. The Muslim world won't do anything to annoy the new President, whom they feel will have a sympathetic ear. (no, I didn't say he's a Muslim, but he is sympathetic)
You see Lebanon launch an offensive against Israel, but I think that all Muslims will hold for a bit, to see how malleable Obama will be.

I think it will come from a country like Russia. An attack on the Ukraine, or provocative action in the Arctic Circle or with Venezuela.
China could take Taiwan. India and Pakistan could go for each others throats.... Obama has been threatening to invade Pakistan for some time...
Or it could be our good friend Hugo Chavez. He could attach a neighbor or try to seize Cuba.

Anything can, and probably will happen. Every enemy, and some allies, are swooning for an Obama victory. From our weakness comes vast opportunities for them.

Or maybe the crisis will be several million American patriots and freedom fighters overthrowing the repressive socialist Obama regime???

"Or maybe the crisis will be several million American patriots and freedom fighters overthrowing the repressive socialist Obama regime???"

That would be the perfect excuse to cull the redneck herd.

I think it may be more domestic than foreign.

Months ago, when BO was making his own gaffes, he said he wouldn't know where he'd be living until January of next year. I remember laughing that there he goes again, getting our voting date wrong -- but then it occured to me that maybe he knows something we don't: that our election will be disputed and even in chaos. I'd begun learning, I think, at that time about ACORN. And now I'm beginning to wonder if he hasn't been planning a chaotic, contested election all along.

I don't trust the guy obviously. American Thinker had a wonderful article (Obama and the Manufactured Crisis) maybe a month ago. We're in one right now that he and his socialist pals managed to pull off with the banking industry. And aren't they happy the government had to step in.

So a contested election, chaotic -- with stewing anger and bitterness planted for years by a vile preacher -- would cause violence in our streets. Especially if BO loses after phony polls read he should have won. We've even heard them mention there'll be riots. I remember James Carville predicting it would happen on CNN.

I don't know what he's done internationally - but I think he's stuck his nose (and some pals of his) in more places than we know. He was more involved in Odinga's campaign - the two campaigns have been similar in more than a few ways as well - than I'm comfortable with. Tremendous violence followed Odinga's loss. BO was on the phone with him alot during that time - supposedly trying to tame some of the violence that Odinga's supporters were causing.

BO's history has been anything but as a peacemaker. Just ask Hillary's PUMAs. Add to it his Alinsky-trained 'community organizing,' his friend Wright's rantings, Ayers' unrepentant activities -- and you have troublemakers at the very least. His campaign has donated over $800K to ACORN's voter registration (fraud) last year. And he LAUGHED when McCain mentioned how their activities are jeopardizing the election. He hasn't shown any concern for valid elections. In fact, ACORN almost encourages ridiculous registrations -- to upset the rest of us? - and make voting day more stressful, more distrustful?

His weapons aren't guns or swords. He's far more subtle. He will always look like the man of peace and goodwill.

He has not missed an opportunity to play the race card. Sorry I have to say it. But it's true. Even suggesting McCain would try to use it against him when McCain had gone out of his way to avoid any mention of race. He hasn't allowed his campaign to even bring up the Wright issue because it involves race and Black Liberation Theology.

BO has a lifetime of Alinsky training - even teaching it himself - not to think agitating and troublemaking isn't productive for revolutionaries. And I'm sure that's how he thinks of himself. He's going to change the world, afterall. But first he has to take care of us here.

Remember when Chicago had its outbreak of violence last Spring, was it? So much gun violence I think a child was being killed a day. That's BO's neighborhood. He's been stoking those fires of discontent and anger for decades - well, with the help of pals: Wright, Pfleger, Ayers and others. Is that what he plans to deliver to the rest of us -- violence -- and a need for martial law? The government will have to step in again...

Biden's words: "But we'll need you -- in your communities, to stand with us -- because it won't appear at first that we're doing the right thing." Really odd words. What wouldn't appear to be the "right thing?" Like taking our guns, maybe?

Just a thought. As I said, I don't trust the guy.

P. S. The last thing we want to do is give him another Manufactured Crisis.

Both Powell and Biden should not be talking about this if in fact they have been given any kind of intel briefings. But of course the problems is going to come in when Israel takes out Iran's nukes which are slated to be deployable in February.

Don't expect Israel to leave their security to the likes of Obama who had Muslim upbringing and close ties. He wants to meet unconditionally with those who have sworn to remove Israel from the face of the earth.

Israel will have no choice but to take out those nukes by themselves and that's the best timing for it. What a scary thought to have these assclowns in charge not only in the WH but likely both branches of Congress. Finances won't be the only thing they manage to screw up totally.

BobinStamford,

"This asshat should stick to doing movie reviews. I give his analysis a big thumbs down!"

In your, and Jaime's, case, the only relevant "thumbs" are the ones you've stuck up your bung-holes.

[Imd]

What do you think the mortgage crisis is? The stock market? It's Obama hating America. It's lucifer paying the way he likes to be paid. What do you think Obama does? How did Obama get where he is? He worships lucifer and 2012 is the end of the Mayan calendar...............
