Poor Colin Powell. The only cabinet member who was a thorn in the side for Bush’s wanting to take over the world. The only moderate. Horse merde! Powell was as aggressive as anyone else in the administration, but he ran afoul of some of the methods Bush used.

Don’t forget that former Secretary of State created the "Powell Doctrine" of "overwhelming force." Its results were diabolical in the first Gulf War: destroying the entire infrastructure of Iraq while killing about a quarter of a million human beings. Militarily, the Iraqi troops could have been forced to leave Kuwait with much less loss of life and life-supporting items such as drinking water and electricity.

Let’s get back to Powell. He is now concerned that his legacy will be less-than-honorable. He stated, "Hundreds of millions followed it (his presentation) on television. I will always be the one who presented it. I have to live with that."
How ridiculous. His delivery of lies caused the deaths of more than 100,000 people and the destruction of a country that can no longer provide even the most meager of items necessary for daily existence. Yet, he has the audacity to be worried about his legacy. He has not uttered one word of sorrow for the dead or the families of the Iraqi dead who suffered because of his lies. Not one word.
