    • Why Colin Powell? He helped Obama win.
      ********
    • Powell could have stopped the Iraq War, and single-handedly made Bush a one-term pres.luckyorphan
    • But he chose his duty to his president over his duty to his country and the truth. Greatest tragic hero ever.luckyorphan
    • or... he followed his conscience and felt he was doing the right thing given the time and circumstance...PonyBoy
    • ... nice way to cheapen a man's dignity and honor, luckydorkphan.PonyBoy
    • Colin Powel is a douche (I'm being kind), no way I'm defending his record when he has none and is a doucheGeorgesII
    • douchetard powel, you lied and now the irak war will always be associated with your lies,GeorgesII
    • he wasn't the guy in charge, george... what the hell do you want from him? as far as I'm concerned... he recanted...PonyBoy
    • ... and did what he could to separate himself when his eyes (like many of ours) were open to the reality of the situation...PonyBoy
    • ... that the intel was in fact 'weak' and rather misrepresenting of the truth... i have to respect the guy for thatPonyBoy
    • Powell cheapened himself by allowing himself to be used by an administration that did not value him.luckyorphan
    • I applaud him for his service, and his interview last year before the election was pivotal and insightful.luckyorphan
    • But that doesn't change the fact that he was perhaps the only person who could have stopped the war in Iraq.luckyorphan
