From NBC Meet the Press Oct. 19:
http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=news-000002976656 (Tom) BROKAW: If you were called into the Oval Office on January 21st by the new president, whoever it happens to be, and he said to you, “General Powell, I need from you your recommendation on where I begin. What should be my priorities,” where would you start? POWELL: I would start with talking to the American people and talking to the world, and conveying a new image of American leadership, a new image of America’s role in the world. The problems will always be there, and there’s going to be a crisis come along in the 21st or 22nd of January that we don’t even know about right now. And so I think what the president has to do is to start using the power of the Oval Office and the power of his personality to convince the American people and to convince the world that America is solid, America is going to move forward, and we’re going to fix our economic problems, we’re going to meet our overseas obligations. But restoring a sense of purpose, a sense of
confidence in the American people and, in the international community,
in America.
Note from Lady Hawke on Rumor Mill News: It seems Joe Biden has also delivered a 'warning to the world'. You can read Rayelan's commentary on this 'linked above'. We will not call two warnings of
this magnitude a mere coincidence. Something BIG is headed our way.
Both Joe Biden and Colin Powell
This year, the inauguration date for the new President of the United States will be January 20, 2009. G, you are correct, Colin Powell is stating
rather definitively here -
Powell also states: "We’re going to meet our overseas obligations." We know there are those in the
current administration who sold false debt instruments to foreign
countries which include Russia and China.
Will the imminent crisis mentioned here be financial (on a grand scale) ... or, will the crisis be something of even greater magnitude? We don't know. Apparently, Colin Powell does know what this crisis will be. This is not a man who usually makes idle statements. Especially, when specific dates are given. It would seem he has perhaps received an internal briefing on this subject, and he was asked to leak this information to the public. Colin Powell has also stated quite clearly - Obama (if elected) would be a 'transitional President'. The question is: what are we transitioning to? When I hear the term 'crisis situation,' this always brings to mind - the very old and frequently used - 'Hegelian model'. The statement made in this interview does not provide clear transparency. It certainly does wave a red flag which gets our attention. Joe Biden also waved a red flag with a warning. Thank you very much for sharing this
significant and definitive
