    Here's some information that I've come across to assist your deduction :pac: ...

    Powell has made bizarre comments that echo the recent declaration by Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden that there will be an "international crisis" early into Barack Obama's presidency that will test the new president by forcing him to make unpopular decisions.

    Speaking on meet the press two days ago, Powell officially endorsed Obama and also made the following statement: "The problems will always be there and there's going to be a crisis which will come along on the 21st, 22nd of January that we don't even know about right now. So I think what the President has to start to do is to start using the power of the oval office and the power of his personality to convince the American people and convince the world that America is solid, that America is going to move forward, we are going to fix our economic problems, we're going to meet out overseas obligations."

    Is Colin Powell referring to a theoretical crisis that could occur at any time? If so why does he choose a specific date, within the first two days after the inauguration? Also why does he refer to general problems that the new president will have to deal with in a separate context? We are already in an economic crisis, everyone knows that, so what new crisis is Powell talking about?

    Whatever you read into Powell's comments, they sound somewhat bizarre, particularly as they come on the back of Joe Biden's "guarantee" of a "generated crisis" to "test the mettle" of the new leader within six months of the new presidential term.
