Very misleading. He's still watching out for his future reputation. Not doing it very well.

22. Glossed over the DSM.
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 10:24 PM by Stand and Fight
Now glossing over the WMD NON-issue. Stewart is confronting him on the fact that many other world governments and people in the intelligence community felt the intelligence was being skewed.

Pointing out the fallacy that the objection for going into Iraq has changed several times. Powell saying President Clinton's bombing Iraq in 1998 was based on the same kind of intelligence, but "intelligence is never perfect" and you do the best you can with what you have.

Paraphrase -- "What I presented to the United Nations was what I believed to be true at that time." Colin Powell saying his presentation was largely based on WMD and that he ended his presentation on the need for freedom in Iraq.

"What we have to do is defeat this insurgency."

"John, there was a lot of open debate. Congress debated it..." Stewart cuts in with wit, "I don't know how much debating went on, but I know they debated freedom fries a lot."

Cut to commercial...

27. And Jon didn't not continue to challenge him on it. He's as worthless
as he thinks the people on Crossfire are. Sorry, but here he has a prime chance to flush out these liars, and he's laying down, belly up.

Force Powell to take a stand on John Bolton. We know he's been calling Chafee and Hagel asking them to vote no. A public statement by Colin Powell could do wonders.

35. Now Jon Stewart is joking with the bastard....
About having dinner with Bush last week (Powell did) and rather or not he can relax with Bush. Does Kim Jong il --sp?- fit in his pocket? "Yeah, so long as he's not waring his high heels."

:eyes:


Jon, you've failed us man.

41. He will play the "good soldier," no matter how many times the bushies kick
him in the teeth.

It's truly surreal how servile Colin can be. Even in light of the disdain with which the Bush administration treated him, he still comes to their rescue when they ask him.

So here you have Colin Powell doing damage control on Jon Stewart's show, lying his ass off, telling us how bad Saddam was, once again. And to make matters worse, he had the disgraceful taste to blame the bad intelligence on Clinton.

Very sad. And very disgusting.

45. Easy.
Not to implicate himself.

What else?

He was part of it all. HE presented the "evidence" *coughyellowcakecough* to the UN.

He is as guilty as the rest and he knows it.
