Powell Blasts McAuliffe's 'Scurrilous Attack' on Bush Military Record Secretary of State Colin Powell blasted Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe on Friday for claiming that President Bush went AWOL from the National Guard in 1972, saying the DNC chief's attack was "scurrilous." Asked about McAuliffe's allegation, the former Joint Chiefs chairman and Vietnam veteran told radio host Sean Hannity that Democrats should "get on to the issues of the day and not reach back to these kinds of scurrilous attacks, especially against a commander in chief who is fighting wars right now in active theaters in Afghanistan and in Iraq and on the global war against terrorism." "It's very disturbing and I wish this kind of attack wouldn't take place," Powell complained. Speaking of Bush and Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry, the one-time top military man told Hannity: "Both men served. They served honorably. They got honorable discharges. They both stood up when their country needed them."
