Showing Original Post only (View all)Fuck! Enough Already! Colin Powell is why America is where it is! [View all]
Powell didnt make a mistake.
He knew he was feeding the American people bullshit to get support to go to war in Iraq.
It was planned and premeditated.
Thousands of Americans killed and upwards of a million Iraqis.
He is no fucking hero. He is a traitor.
And his normalization of lying to the American people.. you know what that got us?!? Fucking Trump.
So please fuck off with the niceties and lets be honest for one damn minute. Powell is a disgrace that lead to even bigger disgraces that put yet more shame on this country.

Powell had a reputation of being honest, the entire World believed him. He fooled us all.

Without the Intel community selling him a bill of goods, Powell may not have gone down that road.

Really? I would venture to say that Ralph Nader, and others, etc. had probably more of an effect

It did not make any difference if Powell was for or against the war or what he said.
