So the dick of a war criminal misled Colin Powell

http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/02/cheneys-office-misled-colin-powell-on-iraq-threat-former-aide-says/
<snip>
Lawrence Wilkerson, the former chief of staff of former Secretary of State Colin Powell, said Friday that former vice president Dick Cheney’s office misled his old boss with bogus information to sell the Iraq War to the American people. This talk with MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur Friday came in the wake of Iraqi defector Rafid Ahmed Alwan Al-Janabi nicknamed “Curveball” admitting he lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
-----------------
Walker et al are more brazen because Holder hasn't started criminal proceedings for the war criminals.

1. Poor Mr. Cowell has a history of being "misled" into "misleading" under oath.

2. Doesn't speak very well for Powell does it?

No ability to invoke the critical thinking of an average DUer.

Members of this forum had the deception pegged from the beginning.

And Powell with all the resources at his disposal couldn't get
a sense of reality?

Sad. The guy should never serve in high office again, he's demonstrated
to lack the basic abilities.

The guy is a classic lackey for power.

9. Powell is twice as shameless

henot only lied at the time, made tons of money working for the rw, but now he is trying to polish his image to the Obama generation. Plantation Powell has earned his Harry Belafonte name.

Poppy was out of the loop on Iran Contra.

They're all liars; they knew exactly what they were doing. May they all rot in hell for the death and destruction they've caused
