Former Bush secretary of state and former chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, Colin Powell, is endorsing Barack Obama for a second term as president.
Powell said Obama is on the right track in winding down the Afghan war and fighting terrorism.
Powell criticized Romney's foreign policy as
inconsistent and questioned the former Massachusetts governor's ability
to tackle the deficit and looming defense cuts.
"I'm
not quite sure which Governor Romney we'd be getting with respect to
foreign policy," Powell said, calling Romney's foreign policy "a moving
target."
As for the U.S. budget, he
added: "It's essentially, let's cut taxes and compensate for that with
other things, but that compensation does not cover all the cuts intended
or the expenses associated with defense."
