Powell tried to push Iran talks in 2003 and was rebuffed

http://www.rawstory.com//news/2007/Powell_tried_to_push_Iran_talks_0214.html

Former Bush National Security Council official Flynt Leverett, speaking on Wednesday at a forum held by the New America Foundation, told a crowd in a Senate office building that in 2003 then-Secretary of State Colin Powell received a �grand bargain� offer from Iran and was rebuffed by the White House, RAW STORY can reveal.

1. This is serious. These people committed an act of traitorism

against the peole of the United States and Iran (if this bombing takes place).

How do we get Powell to go before cameras? Soon?
How do we get Powell and Rice at the same table to debate the facts and content?
How de we get Rice to tell the nation that the Swiss Ambassador indulged in a "creative exercise" when he interceded to bring peace?
How do we get the Swiss Amabassador on MTP?

2. So Condi's not just incompetent, she's criminally incompetent.

In any organization other than the Bush administration,
Condiliar Rice would have been canned a long time ago.

K & R & WOW!

6. HMMMM?

I must have missed some group mind intelligence here.

As for me, Powell has been an object of contempt since he lied to the world at the United Nations. But I didn't really start hating him until he made a couple of vague statements of regret about his actions. It is totally indefensible that he did not "come out" when he left office. He out to be wearing a "Mea Culpa" badge in public at all times.
