Cafferty: Powell's Position?
WATCH "The Cafferty File": Powell's position?.

How would Colin Powell best be able to serve his country?
Tell the truth about how we were lied into this war and how the administration manipulated the media and the public. If he came clean, then maybe in the future an administration, whether Republican or Democratic, will not be able to manipulate and abuse power and start wars based on lies. -Michael, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Jack, Colin Powell can best serve his country by being an ambassador-at-large. His knowledge of, and skills with, the international community are more than a match for what is currently sitting in Washington. We need more like him. -Richard, Larchmont, New York

Mr. Powell could best serve his country by being our next president. And that opinion is coming from a Democrat of long-standing. -William

Tell us the truth about what happened in the White House before the war. -Sidney, Hickory, North Carolina

Colin Powell showed his true colors when he sided with Bush against the Constitution. I wouldn't support Powell for dog catcher. -Rudy, Perry, Georgia

President Bush calls the Senate's no-confidence vote on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales "meaningless." Is it?
In George Bush's little mind it is meaningless. Unfortunately, that little mind is in control and the even smaller minds in Congress have no will, no intention and no guts to do anything about it. Therefore it will remain meaningless by default. -Dave, Huntington, New York

Yes, in my opinion it is a waste of time. Let's get on to more important things like immigration instead of "let's see who else in the present administration we can put pressure on." -Roger, San Antonio, Texas

President Bush says a "No Confidence" vote by Congress is "meaningless." Finally, he admits his true feelings about those of us who are non-loyal Bushie-ites. We are tired of his meandering Moses imitation, and can only hope for his recovery from a Paris Hilton-level denial of reality.
-Terry, Leesburg, Florida

Of course a "president" who is a lame duck and has an approval rating of 30 would say that. What this does do is put everyone on record prior to the 2008 election. Maybe our lonely White House resident can figure this out, I doubt it. Is it January 2009 yet? -Steve, Bridgewater, Massachusetts

Senator Joe Lieberman says the U.S. should consider attacking Iran. Is he right?
Not now, the "cowboy way" has us already looking like an arrogant, pushy country. We must start with the U.N. and get the support needed to succeed in keeping America and all other countries safe. Unity works, unilateral moves get us in the mess we now have in Iraq! -Mary, Yorktown, Virginia

Of course attacking Iran should be up for consideration. You say violence isn't working well in Iraq? Last time I checked, diplomacy was working even worse with Iran. It's time to get in the game. -Jerry, Minneapolis, Minnesota

I suspect his religion has much to do with his desire for Americans to attack Iran. If we do attack and they retaliate by going into Iraq, I suspect our military would help to arm them if we could not defeat them like we are doing with the Iraqi Sunnis. -William, Tempe, Arizona

Senator Liar-man is absolutely out of his mind. No we shouldn't attack Iran. Nor should we have permanent bases in Iraq. The troops should be brought home, and the U.S. out, to learn to mind its own business. -Lori, Columbus, Ohio
