Feith blames Powell for not stopping the war AND making it fail by not supporting it strongly enough

[underpants]

On Fox News this weekend, Feith again went after Powell, but this time, his criticism came with a slight twist. In the span of less than one minute, Feith attacked Powell for not strongly opposing the war — as he does in his book — but he then immediately criticized him for not “wholeheartedly support it” agreeing with host Paul Gigot that Powell’s “lack of support undermined” the war effort.

FEITH: Secretary Powell, I think, would have done the country a much greater service if he — since he didn’t quite agree with the president’s policy, as he’s made clear — if he had actually debated it and put forward an alternative strategy. But he didn’t do that, nor after the president made his decision, did he wholeheartedly support it. <…>

GIGOT: Is that what you’re saying? And that lack of support undermined the effort?

FEITH: I think that’s true.

2. So Sick of all the Orwellian Crap These BSers Spout

They should be thrown into rubber rooms.

6. We all knew that they would try to dump this on Colin

he served his purpose but they kept him around just in case.

Feith really must be that stupid.

7. Makes me have just a tad more respect for Colin

If he was smart enough to be pushing against the idiotic poorly thought-out policy of the idiots at Bush Inc., then he has to have at least an ounce of sense. Too bad the wimp fell on his sword instead of running it through those who have commited unspeakable war crimes in the name of "Freedom" :mad:

9. Feith is an idot & C. Powell is a coward.

Busholini & his Regime are War Criminals.

10. Eh, from the Mai Lai whitewashing to his involvement in Iran-Contra he gets none from me

and he could have SHOULD HAVE done something to stop this war but Feith is full of it to lay it all on Colin. Powell was massively outmanned and outgunned on this one.

8. Well of course he blames Colon Blow, I do to.

Yet, I am not a RW piece of shit pundit trying to push the GOP agenda. I wouldn't sell my country down the river for money. I would actually tell the truth and not have to guess if I was telling the truth - like some 5 year old.

Feith = stupid pund ant +1
