I'm sorry Colin Powell wasn't in the running for the Presidential race. I think he would have been the best possible choice. Unfortunately he was a good soldier and did not openly oppose his Commander in Chief when POTUS decided to go to war on the basis of the WMD theory. But you could see it in his face...
I guess Powell didn't enter the race for at least a couple of reasons. First of all he had to know he would have been attacked on the Iraq WMD/war decision. Then I think he probably wanted a black man to become President and he knew it would not be him, which prompted him, a Republican, to support a Democrat. That probably sealed his fate and he will be too old in 2016 anyway.
Success is not supposed t be easy....you must work hard and sacrifice to achieve your goals.
If you are waiting for success to find you, you will be waiting a long time. Get of your rear end and go find your own success.

I am a huge Powell fan and agree he would have made a good president

I am not sure that he would consider running in 2016, nor do I think either major party would put him up as a candidate
His time has indeed passed
