Retired Gen. Colin Powell insists he hasn’t yet decided who he’ll back in the 2008 presidential election.
“I’m looking at all three candidates,” Powell said in an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer for Thursday’s “Good Morning America” on ABC. “I know them all very, very well. I consider myself a friend of each and every one of them. And I have not decided who I will vote for yet.”
Powell, who served as President Bush’s first secretary of state, is a Republican, but that apparently is not enough to sway him toward Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the GOP’s presumptive nominee.
McCain has staked much of his presidential prospects on the success of the surge strategy in Iraq, a subject of great debate in Washington this week as Gen. David Petraeus took his case to Capitol Hill.
“The United States Armed Forces are very, very stretched. It appears that after the surge is over, we’re going to go down to 140,000 troops in Iraq. That’s 10,000 more than we had before the surge,” Powell observed, reacting to the testimony Petraeus delivered over two days.
