Did I hear Powell say the "C" word? "Crusade"

Wonder who will pick up on that. Just what the Muslims have been saying all along, the war on terror is a war against Islam. At least that what Powell insinuates.

16. Quote was this.

Powell said he said to President Musharraf of Pakistan, "We need you as a part of this campaign, this crusade." This refers to the request to the Pakistani president following the 9/11 attacks.

As a person with an Islamic in-law, I know how very sensitive this issue is.

8. He's enunciating badly for some reason. He has said "piority" and

"Talibran"...

11. Dumbya uses "crusade" ... Powell uses "crusade"

Dumbya says "nucular."

Republicans everywhere show their loyalty by adopting "nucular."

It's a lot like telling the naked emperor that you admire his magnificent garments.

The king is a narcissist.

13. I have noticed that Powell has many of the same manners of speaking

as Bush--the cadence, the eyebrow rasing to make a point, the uhhhhssss --

I wonder if he picked that up automatically.

and are sending a message to Muslims.
