Hey Colin Powell......fool me twice???
I don't belive Colin Powell one little bit. This is a man who lied to the United Nations for bushco to get their war in Iraq. Now we're supposed to believe the same bullshit about Iran that he sold us on Iraq.

3. I see no end to this for four more years. Bush* popularity is tied to war
P.S. If I were Iran, I'd be building a nuclear weapon. It would appear that if you have one, we won't fuck with you. i.e. North Korea, Pakistan.

5. Teflon Man
Powell was the man who attempted to whitewash the My Lai massacre while attached to the Joint Chiefs. After promising , among others, General Westmoreland that he would move heaven and earth to get to the bottom of this he did exactly the reverse. If it had been left to him noone would have known.

Powell stood before the UN and cited actual numbers, ounces of Anthrax , tons of chemical weaponry etc.,etc. Bye and good riddance!

6. Have black kids ever been told the sorry about the boy who cried wolf?
I don't believe Powell knows it.

8. Noticing a pattern?
"And the State Department stands by Powell's comments..."

"A senior State Department official also said..."

"The official also said..."

"Some U.S. officials were angered..."

"... a "walk-in" source ..."

"... one U.S. official said ..."

"The official called it "disturbing"..."

"Analysts say..."

"Intelligence insiders question..."

"A British source also said..."

Uh-huh, I think the pattern is pretty clear...
