Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday that President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran is a “pretty good deal.”
“I think it is a good deal. I studied very carefully the outline of the deal and what’s in that deal. And I’ve also carefully looked at the opposition to the deal,” Powell told NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet The Press.” “And my judgement after balancing those two sets of information is that it’s a pretty good deal.”
Many of the Republican presidential candidates have voiced their opposition to the deal.
“I say, we have a deal, let’s see how they implement the deal. If they don’t implement it, bail out. None of our options are gone,” Powell told Todd.
Watch Powell’s comments:
Well, Colin Powell’s apparently a Kenyan-born Muslim. Right-wing apoplexy in 3,2,1…
The General to be vilified in 3,2,1.
Perhaps Powell is trying to deflect attention from HIS use of a private email account for government business while Secretary of State.
Nah.

Gen Powell?
Would you mind, perhaps, stating this to an audience at the United Nations?
It might, you know, carry considerably more weight.
