Chuck Hagel’s newest defender: Colin Powell
Former secretary of state Colin Powell will make the case for Chuck Hagel’s nomination as defense secretary on Sunday’s “Meet the Press.”…
“Chuck displays his courage in many ways,” Powell said. “You can always count on him to analyze a difficult situation and take a position that reflects his best judgment. I believe that more than ever we need that kind of independent and bold leader who thinks in and out of the box.”

When does Dick Morris weight in positively about Hagel and make the KoD complete?

Really shocking that a big Obama supporter would support an Obama appointment. Shocking, I say!

I’m actually shocked that Obama didn’t pick Colin Powell for DOD.
