Colin Powell "Taken Ill" at Clinton Dinner
Friday, July 7, 2006; Posted: 7:59 a.m. EDT (11:59 GMT)
Colin Powell left the hospital at 1:45 a.m.
ASPEN, Colorado (AP) -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell was briefly hospitalized early Friday after he fell ill at a restaurant where he was dining with former President Clinton and others, police said.
Aspen police Sgt. Bill Linn said the four-star general told him it appeared to be a combination of altitude sickness and "something he ate".
"He is conscious and in very good spirits," Linn said shortly before Powell was released from Aspen Valley Hospital at 1:45 a.m. Linn said Powell asked him to speak with reporters.
Powell's Alexandria, Virginia-based secretary, Peggy Cifrino, did not immediately return a phone call left at her office.
A nursing supervisor at the hospital, where former Enron CEO Kenneth Lay was rushed to and pronounced dead early Wednesday, refused to comment.
Powell, 69, was in Colorado for the Aspen Ideas Festival, a conference in its second year that invites some of the world's leading thinkers.
The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and chief strategist of the 1991 Persian Gulf War against Iraq served as President Bush's secretary of state from 2001 until January 2005, when he was replaced by Condoleezza Rice.

Can I ask why there are quote marks aroung that? Given your history, I'm surprised you don't put quote marks around 'the sun "rose" in the east again this morning'. |

He apparently believes Clinton attempted to assassinate Powell by food poisoning on behalf of the Bush Family and its instrument, Skull and Bones, after having already dealt with Ken Lay -- who was about to "talk" -- by "heart attack," and what we are now hearing is the "approved" cover story.
Ever since W. Bush appointed Clinton and H.W. Bush to work together on the Katrina "relief" efforts, it has become very clear, in retrospect, that Clinton must have been a hidden member of Skull and Bones all along and this is all part of the Bush Clan's cynical efforts to dominate all of us. (Clinton's presidency was merely a "distraction," intentionally meant to morally discredit Democrats once and for all via the contrived Monica Incident.) Indeed, Skull and Bones had apparently assembled in mass under the cover story of "the Aspen Ideas Festival" to plot strategy and tactics and its leaders somehow attracted Powell in order to deal with his insolence at the same time -- thus killing several birds with one stone, so to speak.
Remember, Powell quietly resigned from the W. Bush Administration just over a year ago. And he could potentially harm the Fuhrer or somehow prevent the National Socialist-Stalinist dynasty he and his family are setting up. Therefore he had to be neutralized.
That Powell survived may suggest a new threat to the dictatorship. So Clinton and his brown-shirtted thugs are sure to make another attempt soon.

Does that answer your question?

Yes, it does. The frightening thing is that it actually made sense. I think I've read a few too many of IGTG's headlines. |
