| 63. If Not For Powell's Continuing Deception, I Would |
|
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fStJT2VrhdQ Someone posted a link to a Sirota column that was dead on the mark when it predicted Powell would grab the spotlight use this to continue justifying our occupation of Iraq and war om its people. You can't let someone intertwine a concept along with their endorsement, leading up to the election, and then repudiate the concept in January. It wouldn't be a good way to start that administration. If he wants to endorse, he's free, but someone shut him up on Iraq.
