    Powell Calls His U.N. Speech a Lasting Blot on His Record

    “There were some people in the intelligence community who knew at that time that some of these sources were not good, and shouldn’t be relied upon, and they didn’t speak up. That devastated me.”

    Was Bill Clinton also lying about WMD’s in Iraq?

    There seem to be several parties using chemical weapons in Syria and ISIS controlled area’s in Iraq.

    Where did that stuff come from?

    Did the Syrian government make it?Did the Syrian rebels make it?Did ISIS make it?Or is it left over from Saddam’s NBC warfare programs?According to the New York Times the U.S. suffered over 600 casualties from WMD’s in Iraq.Where did that stuff come from?

    Powell looks good when compared to a lot of the GOP, but let’s not forget he started in public life as a shill to cover up and excuse the My Lai massacre. He sold out a long time ago.

    The UN speach spoiled me on Colin, but at least he apologized. What bothered me more was the behavior of his kid Michael at FCC playing for the corporations, and well playing to the right on issues of communications.

    So was murdering women and children the youthful indiscretion, or was defending murdering women and children the youthful indiscretion we should all forgive until we’ve all done it ourselves?

    Couldn’t have said it better. Even I liked him before he paid the bushies with his integrity.

    A lot of people knew that the invasion of Iraq was completely unjustified. I know that because I was out in the streets demonstrating with them. If Colin Powell didn’t know, then he lacked the judgement that a lot of other people had. As for Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, they weren’t just ignorant, they were co-conspirators.
