Colin Powell: “I could not agree with you more, Senator Allen.”

I regret it. I will always regret. It was a terrible mistake on all our parts.

I think he is a transformational figure. He is a new generation, coming into the world, onto the world stage, on the American stage. And for that reason, I`ll be voting for Senator Barack Obama.

The correct answer is he is not a Muslim. He’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian. But the really right answer is what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is no, that’s not America.

It says more about America than what it says about me.
