general powell makes another good point.e've had a system that for many years has relied on people not having to have an i.d., why is it necessary to do this now? when you look at the lines in the last presidential election in minority neighborhoods and minority communities and places where the president won overwhelmingly, the way the republicans have to compete is to reach out into these communities, not with tactics designed to frustrate people and make it more difficult to vote, but i think a lot of these efforts that shut down the early voting, that make it more difficult to register on election day or the wrong path for republicans. >> well, you mentioned general powell. let's play a little more sound. karen, i want to get your reaction to what he said when asked about, well, what about all the republicans who believe this is a problem? let's take a listen. >> i think some of them honestly feel that it is appropriate to ask for more identification. but when they start to say let's restrict the number of voting hours or

so i -- you know, i understand people's criticisms of general powell, of secretary powell.ne who recognizes the mistakes that they made and do everything they can to set the record straight, i give -- you know, i give them kudos, i give kudos to peter. not a lot of people would do what the general is doing and what peter did in a full book saying they were wrong, this is how they got it wrong. if more people did that, this would be a better world. >> uncontestable in your presentation there, one point, that dick cheney's not very popular. i want to ask about another thing. guess who is being called a community organizers for the muslim brotherhood by the right? republican senator lindsay graham is the latest target of our friend, right wing rage. ahead of his senate primary in 2014, the senior senator is coming under fire with this ad accusing graham of not spending enough time with his constituent. the apparent crime, traveling to egypt with senator john mccain, a fellow republican, on a diplomatic mission. graham's republican brethren are less concerned with the diplomacy

colin powell or reince priebus, the field marshal of the rnc. who vastly reduced the number of black voters. james peterson is a director at lehigh, an engineer, and clarence page, a columnist for "the chicago tribune." let's start with colin powell, and what he said in his own words. he was speaking in raleigh, where he criticized republican efforts to limit voting. the news and observer quotes him as saying, quote, i want to see policies that encourage every american to vote, not make it more difficult to vote. it immediately turns off a voting bloc that the republican party needs. these kinds of actions do not build on the base, it just turns people away. you can say what you like, but there is no voter fraud. how can it be widespread and undetected? what it really says to the minority voter is we really are sort of punishing you. clarence page, you've been covering politics as long as i have. colin powell only comes from from olympus, or wherever he reigns from, and everybody hears every word he speaks, because he is a republican. >> he is,

that's what powell told ron dellums, and he also told that we'll do nothing to protect the president or defend him. the president's security agents steele foundation from the west coast had already checked to see if the u.s. would do anything to defend the embassy to help them control the rebels. the u.s. said they would not. the president was all alone. the president's helicopter pilot had flown up to the north and spotted the rebels who had been trained by americans in the dominican republic and armed by the bush administration in the dominican republic. they were 100 kilometers from port-au-prince and helding away from port-au-prince, and the president knew this, and colin powell had to have known this when he was saying that they were coming to kill him the next day. colin powell had been saying publicly that we would not allow the overthrow of the democratic administration. privately, he was trying to frighten iowa steed into fleeing. when he did not do that, or at least later that night when i had thought that his life was under threat, i called peterrer jennings -- peter jenni

i have to ask you your reaction to the colin powell comments. i can't believe he did that with the governor right there. >> i thought it was a very courageous thing to do for him because of given his audience, and the right thing to do, and i think that colin powell has shown the kind of leadership in this area we need. here is a -- we're talking about, chris, the right to vote. we're talking about people fabricating that there's some pattern of fraud that has to be dealt with here. when there is no pattern of fraud. when we've done the study. the justice department has even done studies. it's like 0.003% fraud. so clearly this is set up as colin powell said, to deal with trying to deal with minority voters not being able to vote. this is the same battle just done with a little more nuance and polish than we had to fight to get right to vote for blacks and minorities in the first place. and this is outrageous 50 years after the march on washington. we have to deal with this issue. but deal with it, we will. >> what's striking to me is colin powe

sort of what secretary powell said. you shape things.moderate syrians in a position to play a major role. they fail, you step back, but you do try to do something. >> there is a debate in the administration about the moderate opposition. the state has really tried to build them up, but they don't have a lot of backup on that front. they haven't been able to deliver the weapons the white house has said they were going to give, the weapons being paid for by the saudis are coming in through the north and south. but the help from the united states of america hasn't been clear, and it hasn't been loud. and there's the bet if you help them, they'll be our eyes. if you don't, we don't know. maybe those weapons will end up in the wrong hands. >> the saudis are giving weapons to the jihadis. the qataris are giving weapons to the jihadez. we tried to have our local allies deal with it. it hasn't worked. there has to be a bigger, new approach and the white house has to take risk. >> schieffer: we also have to be thinking about what is going to be t

. >> and now he is playing the colin powell role, right? the one out in front. >> and what is wrong with what you just said? >> i'll tell you there is a big difference. >> what was wrong with what you just said? playing the colin powell role whom. wants to be there. >> he doesn't want to. but there is an important difference if we're talking about iraq and now. in 2003, the weapons of mass destruction debate are about weapons that no one had seen, that hadn't been used for years at that point. and it was based on this intelligence about where we think they might be. this is a situation with a lot of open intelligence. we know an attack tack place. the issue of whether or not there are chemical weapons that have been used in syria is not really in question. >> i'm with you. the use of the weapons is not an argument any more whether they're existing. the whole question, do you want to be in a position of colin powell, his credibility was used to make the case for war. i don't know what he thought, but he was used. this guy today, didn't you f

. >> can you put it in comparison to colon powell's speech? this is against the back drop of all those things. >> i was going to say how notable it is it was the secretary of state delivering this message. people before hand on twitter was thinking it was a colon powell moment. you could tell the specter of iraq was hovering above his remarks. those are remarkable be numbers and this is a heinous regime that has committed heinous acts. what i was struck by was he said this is not about a far off land, this is about the people of syria, the u.s. role and interests in this world and who we are. are we effective? are we a country that has double standards. he said our goal is to ensure accountablity and save lives and ensure that is accomplished instead of the other goals. he put the people of syria and america's role of interest. and how do you -- if this evidence is truly overwhelming and the government committed, how will you hold them accountable and striking them in a way. does that regime is held accountable. the emotional value and deliver

he was not holding up vials of substances or throwing to sound bite as colin powell did. one could not help but be struck by the parallels between the two and it is precisely the hangover from the fact that that first one turned out to be basically nonsense that it is hard to listen to john kerry with the same kind of open mind to the truthfulness of what he's saying. >> i thought john kerry did a fantastic job of taking that issue head-on. iraq is the background to which this entire discussion about syria is going on. here he is trying to present an intelligence-based assessment just as colin powell did, and, again, in his talk he said right there and then why this is not like iraq. and i thought he was quite convincing. first and foremost, there is no doubt that syria has chemical weapons. there is no doubt that the regime controls those chemical weapons. the only doubt appears to be the extent to which assad, himself, may have personally been involved in any kind of decision about their use. this past week. >> can i say this, first of all, obviously, the iraq situation

the very next speaker after him at that event was former secretary of state colin powell. with governor mccrory in the audience speaking after him, colin powell, a republican, took a direct rhetorical aim at governor mccrory's voting bill saying, "these kinds of actions do not build on the base. it just turns people away. i want to see policies that encourage every american to vote, not make it more difficult to vote." those comments from colin powell in north carolina on thursday made a lot of waves in north carolina. but then secretary, former secretary of state colin powell reiterated that critique for a national audience when he went on cbs yesterday morning. >> here's what i say to my republican friends. the country is becoming more diverse. asian-americans, hispanic-americans and african-americans are going to constitute majority of the population in another generation. you say you want to reach out, you say you want to have a new message, you say you want to see if you can bring some of these voters to the republican side. this is not the way to do it. the way to do

gunner powell li connor powell live from our mideast bureau. what does it mean for us? >> reporter: iran's new president hasan rouhani was elected a month ago. he draws support from iran's moderate middle class. the 64-year-old islamic cleric is tasked with one job sort of revitalizing iran's struggling economy and ending its international isolation. today in a speech, he shoued to do just that. iran's economy, of course, has suffered greatly from u.s. and international sanctions in place because of iran's nuclear ambition. but iran's president has limited power and control of the sort of government in iran. the real authority in iran, of course, lies with ayatollah khomeini. rouhani is well known to the u.s. he's viewed as pragmatic and far less belligerent than out going president mahmoud ahmadinejad. he sees himself as a negotiator. he sees himself as a bridge between iran and the western world. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has pointed out several times there's really no moderates in iran's political leadership. there's just sort of varying degrees of e

but i think what general powell was saying is this is very, very difficult.yesterday the state department was saying the president and the administration is considering all these options. the fact is there are not many realistic options. i don't think we'll go to war and send american troops to syria. that simply is not going to happen. i think a key, charlie, in what nobody has been able to do, this has to be resolved diplomatically. i think russia, if we could somehow work with russia and get the fighting stopped, then perhaps we can figure out where we go -- >> that was one argument for not closing down the meeting they'd have in moscow. >> yes. and russia plays a key role. they could be the most influential here but right now they're standing back and let the united states sort of twist in the wind while this awful stuff happens. but one thing for sure, i mean, you know, we always talk about the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. that goes for rotten apples as well. bashar al assad is a mass murderer. his father was a mass murderer. that is how he's he
