And it was not a remission of support for the US, but rather a lack of support for warfare without a broader consensus.
The ineptness of US foreign policy in this matter is mind boggling. I wonder if Powell really is this incompetent or simply was told to shut up and follow orders. Judging from his previous record, I suspect the latter.
