Powell Tells Senator He Knew Iraq Bogus--before he left office.

Well, why didn't he share this information with us, but then again, we're just a bunch of chumps. Feed me master, tell me how to think, oh you're so smart because you're in power.

This is actually NOT the way the VAST MAJORITY of Americans feel.

We'd like the truth, thank you very much.

I'm sick of this Powell dance of pseudo supplication. You screwed up dude, face it. You know it and we know it. It's time that you realized that we DO KNOW THAT YOU SCREWED UP AND SCREWED US AT THE SAME TIME.

Powell told senator he'd reveal details about case for war in Iraq after both left office, sources say

Larisa Alexandrovna and Jason Leopold

President Bush’s former Secretary of State, Colin Powell, may have known that the case for military action in Iraq was thin before he presented it to the United Nations, RAW STORY has learned.

In an interview earlier this year, Powell told ABC News’s Barbara Walters that he felt misled by the intelligence community and found the entire experience of presenting questionable information to the United Nations to be “painful.”

This one's a keeper. What a weasel Powell is. I can feel your pain, Colin.

Was he for or against it? That's the question that kept running through my head as I read this article. Does anyone know??

So you found it 'painful' to decieve the UN, the American public and the world, did you?

Jeez, imagine how 'painful' it is for the parents, spouses and children of all of the dead in Iraq -- not just our soldiers, but the Iraqi people, as well.

They're blood is as much on your hands as it is on the hands of those who chose you as their errand boy.

So how do you sleep at night?

Just wonderin' ....

Now he's just another yes-man chump with a telltale heart.

He covered up the Mi Lai massacre in Vietnam, and in the case of Iran Contra answered some form of "I can't remember" 72 times. He's a scumbag Uncle Tom. Sorry if my opinion offends.

wanted to set up a "cliff-hanger" for all us excitement-starved folks out in TV land.

What a joke. And WHAT a liar. I remember reading an article about how Hans Blix had confronted Colon Bowel with some information. Bowel had said, "Well, if that's that, then that's that". Meaning = I don't give a shit about the facts. And I don't give a rat's ass that you know (Hans Blix).

only I didn't go to the UN and lie my ass off knowing it was total bullshit.

for one reason:

He's willing to ignore any sense of decency and just do as he's told. That's how all these guys become "made men" but it's particularly true in Powell's case.

To be perfectly honest, I don't know why people ever thought the guy was "honorable". For the last 30 years, Powell has been front and center for our most shameful national experiences, from Mai Lai to Iran Contra to the current Iraq occupation. He's always helping to cover up and to lie, like the good little servant he is.

This was utterly shameful. He legitimized Bush.

I'll never forget that. Told me all I needed to know about the guy for a long time.



THE NOT SO ODD COUPLE

Covering up for My Lai, more covering up for Iran-Contra, lying us into pre-emptive war - so many dead people as a result of all these. How do you sleep, Mr. Powell?

"The kill-or-be-killed nature of combat tends to dull fine perceptions of right and wrong."
Colin Powell - from his autobiography "An American Journey"

He was quoted as having told some foreign dignitary about the wonders of the sleep-drug Ambien, and how they were all on it.

The wonders of pharmacology are keeping these bastards from even having to live with their consciences!

loyalty to that old fool Powell trumps loyalty to his country, I guess.

to each other than they ever should be and to their "insider buddies" like Coleen (sic).

Of course, keep in mind that EVERYONE IN THE SENATE knew that the intelligence was bogus, all of them. I don't think that state politicians necessarily knew but US Senators, you bet. It's a hard pill to swallow for some of us but we were betrayed into war by not only the White House, but by those Senators who voted yes on this knowing full well that it was a rigged game.
