Colin Powell praises the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper
MONTREAL -Former U.S. secretary of state Colin Powell praised Stephen Harper's government Tuesday night for its strong support of Israel in its fight against Hezbollah.
Powell told a Montreal audience that Canada has stood out with its unequivocal backing for Israel during its campaign to defeat Hezbollah's forces in southern Lebanon.
"I thank Canada for standing firm with Israel and the United States in this time of difficulty,'' Powell told 700 people at a fundraising dinner organized by the Montreal branch of the Jewish National Fund.
MICHAEL McCAFFERTY SAYS:
Colin Powell is a genuine statesman and patriot. A truly great leader. I admire him very much.
Colin Powell is respected around the world for his honor and integrity -- and that is why his praise for Prime Minister Stephen Harper is indeed very powerful and positive.

I understand that Powell is persona nongratia in upper Republican circles these days. Are you hearing the same thing, Michael?
