colin powell suggests that we forget about the run up to Iraq

[The_Casual_Observer]

and focus on the future. How about we just empty all the prisons, forget about the past, and let the prisoners "move on" too? Heck, I think I would like to use that line of reasoning with American Express
about last month's charges too!

Colin, it doesn't work that way, some stuff is unforgivable.

[rodeodance]

1. Laura Bush said the same thing yesterday in an interview.

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. I'd like to forget about laura bush and focus on the future.

[warrens]

2. Dream on, fascist pig

We're going to bring that up every day til the day every one of you Repukes is run out of Washington. You sold your soul, Colin. Don't expect us to forgive or forget.

[shain from kane]

26. The Devil at the crossroads won't forget that he sold his soul

for fame and fortune.
When he coulda been a bluesman.

[MikeNY]

32. Still a neocon lapdog after all these years...

Proudly being the fall guy for a war that was planned 10 years ago...

[babylonsister]

3. Fat chance, Colin. If I were the parent of a deceased soldier, I'd

like to know exactly what lying was involved that got my child killed.

[cureautismnow]

4. Stick the bastard in prison in first...

...then we'll talk about forgetting. Like forgetting where we placed the key to the cell!

[LSparkle]

6. Yeah, like they REALLY let Clinton off the hook ...

Our legislators could have spent a year + getting things done FOR US but instead, they wanted to rehash every gory detail of Bill n Monica. MOVE ON, my ass! People have DIED because of the lies told by these characters -- THAT's not something you can just "get over."

[grytpype]

7. Yeah, lets forget about it, accountability is overrated.

We could argue all day about who lied us into the war, let's focus on blaming the Democrats for not having a plan to fix everything.

Hell, I'm ready to put it all behind. Bygones. Water under the bridge.

[Dead_Parrot]

8. I'll have to try that, next time I get a tax demand... nt

[Robbien]

9. How can we forget when we are going through a repeat

Iraq/Iran

Three years later and we are on the same old path.

[Master Mahon]

10. Yeah, he'd just love that wouldn't he

just like we forgot about his involvement in trying to cover up the Mai Lai massacre!
He'd just love for us to forget the lying sack of sh_t he spewed all during the 'run up' and especially his bold face arrogance at the UN!!

[Cha]

22. Yeah, colon powell

would love it.

[Beaverhausen]

11. you can't be serious?

How are the families of 2400 plus dead service men and women supposed to just "forget it?"

[Atman]

12. Isn't that SOP for republicans? LIE today, look to the future tomorrow.

They do this all the time. They even have a bogus term for it...they call it "forgiveness." How conveeeeeeenient. "Sure we lied and caused the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis, but why dwell on the past? We need to look to the future."

Do you that would work for any of us should be get busted for speeding or robbing a bank? "Please your honor. We shouldn't dwell on how fast I was driving yesterday. We need to focus on how fast I'll drive tomorrow."

Or, "Sure I robbed a bank yesterday. But let's look to the future. Now that I have all that money, I certainly won't have to rob any banks tomorrow."

It's BRILLIANT!

[Dr Fate]

13. Admit Bush ordered you to lie , and use that word, and it's a deal.

;)

[Disturbed]

17. C. Powell wants everyone to erase their memories of

the crimes of the Neo Fascists, which he is part of. He knows that he should have resigned before going to the UN to spout blatant lies. He dishonored himself but he will still not fully admitt his direct part in the crimes of the Neo Fascist Regime of Busholini.

[tabasco]

14. Yah, let's just forget these men and women too.

[The_Casual_Observer]

15. Yes, the silent ones wrapped in the flags are the most

readily and conveniently forgotten. Time to "move on" for sure.

[NightOwwl]

16. Their usual tactics:

The run up to the War
Torture
Katrina
Anything else they want to avoid

It's all past history. Nothing to see here...just move along litte sheeple.

[Mandate My Ass]

18. Never. Infamy will follow him wherever he goes, even the grave

and beyond.

Too bad he didn't do the right thing then this wouldn't be an issue. Karma meet Colin, Colin, this is Karma (a.k.a. a bitch).

[The_Casual_Observer]

20. It's going to be "one pinch of this anthrax" and "yes..yes..move the

the weapons trucks!" from the UN speech for EVER. Overall the Iraq war is the biggest blunder in world history.

[Mandate My Ass]

24. and it's continuation one of the biggest crimes

These people are unbelievably arrogant to suggest we dismiss the shenanigans that brought us this ongoing disaster while they continue to profit from it.

[Notoverit]

19. "Vote Powell - because the past doesn't matter" - great campaign slogan,

Colon!

[Cha]

21. What a freakin' disingenous,

perverted idea. How about finding out what exactly happened and NOT DOING IT AGAIN?!!

[Captain Hilts]

23. Well fiddle dee dee! as Scarlet O'H used to say. We remember Colin. nt

[peacebird]

27. "Tomorrow IS another day" and we will STILL REMEMBER your crimes, Colin.

[central scrutinizer]

25. Excuse me, there is no statute of limitations on this kind of evil

Goddam him - he has been a lying, opportunistic scumbag his entire career. Bushco has tried every possible justification for this monstrosity - and now that none of them seem to have gained any traction with the American people, they want to sweep the whole thing under the rug. Sorry - I want to see you ass hauled before the World Court in The Hague.

[peacetalksforall]

28. Good. Let's reverse the torture and the maimingl the looting and

the destruction of the infrastructure; crushed familes and children who did not have a chance (both sides of the ocean).

Apologies to all the Powell fans - I think he is a louse.

(passing thought - Powell, born in Jamaica. His birthplace neighbor, Aristede, is denounced as evil by the U.S. and kicked out of his own country by the U.S. - Yes,
Aristede, a duly elected, world confirmed President, treated like xxxx by the U.S. and Powell who helped kile and maim is honored.

And don't forget, the U.S. was helped by Canada and France.

Who reigns in Haiti presently? = foreign bankers of the World Bank order.

[cushla_machree]

29. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it

Fat Chance. As If i am going to forget the needless death of thousands of americans and iraqi's. It doesn't work that way. When one commits a crime, say lying to a nation to start a war, NO ONE just walks away.

They may not ever pay for their crimes, but I'll be damned if I just forget and move on.

[driver8]

30. So a few thousand people have died because of lies...lies that you

told, Colin. But if you think we should forget about it, then that's what we will do. Hell, nothing like a little war to stir things up once in awhile, is there?

Fuck you, war criminal. You are going to go down with the rest of the fascist regime. Yeah, you would love for people to forget about the run up to war with Iraq, you piece of shit.

Not gonna happen...

[getwesback]

31. somebody should simply ask him to define "accountability"

shame on him for saying that. ....the man is without a spine. Period. go away, Powell, you're useless and you know it.
