"I'm running out of enemies..."

[R_C]

Colin Powell said this before 9/11 when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (from October 1, 1989 to September 30, 1993):

<span style="font-style: italic">&quot;When I was Chairman at the end of the Cold War and I was testifying one day, I said, well, you know, the Soviet Union is gone, the Warsaw Pact is gone, you know, I'm running out of enemies.....I'm down to Kim Il-Song and Castro.&quot;</span>
