Where has this story been hiding?
State of disrepair: Five former Secretaries of State bemoan America’s standing in the world

Baker, Powell, Albright, Kissinger and Christopher meet and agree that bush is a total failure. They also seem to think that talking with our adversaries is a good idea and that Guantanamo should be closed. Where have these people been hiding?

3. Tooka few of them awhile to wake up
But still an excellent piece, I wish they would go active in the US.

The camp (Guantanamo) allows “tyrants” to claim a moral equivalency with the United States, said Colin Powell, who served under President George W. Bush from 2001 until 2005.

5. It would be difficult for them to ignore something so glaringly obvious.



So it is incumbent on them to have to comment on how Shit-for-Brains has ruined this country.

6. Wow. This is telling. Never thought I'd agree w/Kissinger, but
the man is smart. I don't think we should be surprised that these great minds have stated the obvious, but that they have all met together & agreed on these matters speaks volumes. How often has this type of meeting taken place?

Do you think we could maybe begin impeachment now? :sarcasm: Quite frankly I've given up hope on that.:(

7. Oh, I was just going to work that in some where . . . thought someone
would have posted it a day or so ago --- and then noticed no one did!

HOWEVER, we need these people to tell that to Bush, to Congress --- and while I appreciate what they're doing . . . when Powell had a chance NOT to do another nasty, he did it at the UN--!!

Two million dead people later, Powell has a conscience?

8. HOWEVER, evidently Bush is expanding Gito prison --- with $125 million that Congress approved--!!!

12. It was posted here a few days ago. I posted a news video of it, I believe
Didn't get much attention, though.

13. Well at least they aren't as stupid as I thought they were
If people would just stand up for what they know is right and against what is wrong we WOULDN'T be in this mess!

The cowardly politicians need to go home.
