re: Huh? You all have short memories. Powell is the guy that sold us down the river. He used his credibility to get people behind Bush's invasion of Iraq even after the Brits told him the stuff he was presenting to the UN....the crap about truck trailers shown in satellite shots being used to brew up chemicals.....was all horseshit. I would never vote for anyone who worked for Bush during his first term.......no one!

Probably not... but Powell is first and always the "good soldier". That creates a different mindset; he may argue in the background, but he will always be on the side of his commander in public. Always. It's in the code of ethics.

I knew it was crap as he was spewing it. I'm sure Powell did too - the guy isn't stupid. A guy with MASSIVE credibility at the time, showing pictures of generic buildings and trucks, and then telling us what was INSIDE? After all the previous war cheerleading and fearmongering by Bush, Cheney and Rice?

It was obvious to me that they were selling a load of crap.

Powell is just trying to rehab his spent reputation. this time, by telling the truth.
