Colin Powell: ‘We Are Losing’
Colin Powell: ‘We Are Losing’

Today on CBS’s Face the Nation, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said he agreed with the Iraq Study Group that the situation in Iraq is “grave and deteriorating.” He disagreed with incoming Secretary of State Robert Gates’ assessment that the U.S. is neither winning nor losing in Iraq. “We are losing,” Powell said.

3. Is he stomping on Rumsfeld's grave or is he selling something
for Poppy? Or? Why is he out today?

5. Is that why you sat there in the UN, wagging a vial of nothing around
the room. To scare people, over what again? Weapons of Mass Destruction? Colin...fuck off. You are another Oliver North and should be treated like a traitor.

9.  Before Powell ever goes on TV again
He should bring that vial of white powder back and admit the truth behind it . He has no room to speak anymore , He helped get us into this mess and has either alot of nerve or is in complete denial .

Now he comes on giving his advise , give me a break . He is a traitor .
