Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has died due to complications from COVID.

He was 84 years old.

His family released a statement on Facebook saying: 'General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, passed away this morning due to complications from Covid 19.

'He was fully vaccinated. We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment.
'We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American.'
The four star general was the first black secretary of State.

He served under several Republican administrations – including for Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.

Also, from 1991-1993 he served as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Bill Clinton after being appointed to the post by Bush Sr.

Come on now, why not be careful in dishing out curses on topics you are not the most informed about.

While it is true that the Bush Jnr. Admin concocted the most criminal of lies to push through a heinous crime in invading Iraq, subsequent revelations have shown that General Collin Powell was a victim too who was only used by the admin to deliver lies to the UN General Assembly. It's quite sad thou, such a good man. His possible future political career was destroyed by that singular act.

Thank you bro for this cool-headed intervention. But do I have to be the "most informed" about a topic b4 i comment on it or dish out curses?

You yourself have admitted that Powell was a key party to the disaster created in Iraq. How, as a four star army general was Powell a victim when he had the chance to quit selling the lies he knew well the consequences of ? Given that the CIA created Bin Laden in the 1980s and 1990s to fight the Soviets, can we also say that bin Laden was a victim too?

Call a spade a spade bro. Collins was callous. He was aware the intelligence was doctored to invade iraq. Yet he kept on selling the lies he was asked to. Allow the man to carry his cross! You think we muslims will forgive him for killing our brothers and sisters in their millions? Have Americans forgiven bin Laden for killing less than that? Have u ever anywhere come to the defence of bin Laden because he was once in the paybook of America or the CIA. Two wrongs don't make a right. Both Powell and Bin Laden were terrorists who deserve to rot forever in hell. Yet here you are trying to exonerate Callous Foul probably because he shared the same religion with you. Bro, a criminal is a criminal whatever his religion and region, his color and creed. God bless you.

Recently I thought about him, his role in the Vietnam war and even in a song where his resignation as secretary of state was referenced. I ended up confirming he was still alive.
Here is one of his quotes
" When everyone's mind is dulled and distracted, the leader must be doubly vigilant."

Immunity means you'll not get the disease. Resistance means it will take a higher threshold of viral load to cause the disease, you can still get the disease in this case.

Either to provide Immunity or to provide resistance. The covid-19 vaccines provide resistance not Immunity.

[s]Which Jesus? The one that asked his child Bush to invade iraq and Afghanistan and killed millions of innocent souls in the process? Or

The Jesus that said " My father is greater than I" Or

The jesus that said " Hear or Israel, your Lord is one God" Or

The Jesus that cried to his Lord Allah by saying "Allah Allah lama sabacathani " when on the cross.

I worship the same God that Christ worship, the same God that he told Marry Magdalene about when he said " I am ascending unto my God and Your God, my lord and your Lord". You can Google about all the evidence here. Accept Jesus for who he said he was and not what his arch enemy, Paul, said he is. World ship God like jesus did in Mathew 26v39. This is islam.

I invite you to join islam and drop the irrationality that 1+1+1=1.

God bless you.[/s]

Lol ! That's why God created something called an immune system does that perfectly conferring Natural immunity. Better than any injection.

If u are saying that a vaccine both provides immunity and resistance, then it means that there's no difference between resistance and immunity. And if that is d case, then d COVID-19 vaccine was created to provide immunity.

When there's immunity, doesn't it result in resistance?

It depends on what the disease is.

You're a emotionally attached to your religion and that's not unexpected. I'm neither Christian nor Muslim, if that helps to correct your wrong assumptions about my motive.

All I say again is that in every group, there are always the cunning manipulators, wilful followers, the grudgingly abiding, the misled, the timidly accepting etc. (If you've ever been in govt or at least some admin position, you'd understand me better). General Powell was deliberately influenced with doctored CIA intel to make that UN speech. On realizing this much later, he voluntarily withdrew from the political space. The above isn't an exoneration but a statement of actual occurrence.

The man is dead now, right? If there's a God somewhere as religious people claim, it's the job of that God now to decide his fate.
