.... your argument is, if I understand it correctly, that without Powell things would be much worse.

I don't buy that at all. We didn't go into Syria, etc, because we couldn't. Almost as soon as "Mission Accomplished", Iraq began to deteriorate.

I would have a speck of respect for Powell had he not gone in front of the UN and the world telling stories he had to know were plain old lies. He added credibility to their (neocons) entire agenda which he could have it taken away by walking away, or even better - by speaking the truth until they fired him.

I can forgive a deludiniod like the neocons more easily than I can forgive someone who absolutely knew better but went along to get along. Fuck Colin Powell.
