Is it me, or does Colin Powell look like he isn't convinced about

[Sweetpea]

what he is saying? Especially turning the country over to the Iraqi people. My question would be...which sect?

He just said the greatest terrorist in Iraq was Saddam Hussein and his henchmen are gone. My question would be....he is not gone and his henchmen are still in the country. Where is the proof? Aren't the recent bombings being blamed on his henchmen?

He said that democracy can work and will work.

He said we don't need to refight the battle of the UN Security Council. My question would be...so you feel you don't need to apologize to the countries that oppose you?

OOO...he just dissed Arafat too. Now my question would be....hey, dude, do you really believe that damn Road Map to Peace? What about your boss the "Great interlocuter to Peace"? Going back to 4 months ago when the UN was being called irrelevant.

ASSHOLES!

1. wheres the WMDS????Powell?

did you all let the "terrorist get them or did you all lie in the first place.......answers....we want answers!!!!

[Skittles]

2. HELLO

Powell is a certified BUSH WHORE. There's no use tring to "read" him - he simply bends over and does what Dick and Uncle Karl tell him.

[DuctapeFatwa]

3. If he had any problem with it, we would see his back

Colin Powell has free will.

Every minute of every day, he, like all other bush regime henchmen, makes a voluntary, conscious decision to participate in the regime's activities.

Younger readers might want to look into how Colin made his reputation as a "can-do" kind of guy, back in VietNam days...

[rucky]

6. Then who would be SOS?

...Paul Wolfowitz?

[Raenelle]

9. Absolutely, DuctapeFatwa

Because he speaks like a civilized person, and civilized people are so hard to find in the Rethuglicon party, we assume he must be civilized. Just bone-stupid optimism on our part. No ethical person would participate in a trumped up pre-emptive war--one that violates every facet of what he supposedly learned from Vietnam--the Powell Doctrine. No overwhelming force, no international support, no unanimity at home, and worst of all, no exit strategy.

If he understands at all, he's a, well, a traitor. If he doesn't understand, well then he's an idiot, or so far in denial he needs some kind of 12-step program, right now.

4. He looks like he needs a tune up...

new spark plugs at least

[revcarol]

5. If he wanted to keep any tiny smidgen of self-respect,

he'd leave NOW, rather than later.

[lcordero]

7. He is a guilty party in this

and he deserves his share of the blame for this mess and I will not accept any leniency towards him.

8. Off the edge of a cliff

Is where my respect for Powell has went in the last year. He's the only guy in the whole cabal with a little ingenuity, but his credibility is completely worthless now. After February 5th, I haven't been able to feel any sympathy for him at all. He's been compliant with this idiocy for quite awhile now. If he had misgivings or doubt he should have resigned in protest long ago, instead of being the Cabal bitch. Condi Rice isn't any better. Actually, she's worse if you ask me. That woman is so intelligent, now she's little more than a lapdog.

10. What's POWELL's Limit on Capacity for Humiliation?

There is his ancient history of screwing up from Vietnam on up.

Then his high(?) point under Poppy, where he had some prestige but where the CHEENEE-DarthRUMS axis settled-in to CRUSHING him.

When he was a leftover under the new CLINTON Admin, he took advantage of the lack of military experience to OBSTRUCT and call the shots.

Perhaps luckily, he didn't declare as a Dem, where he would have been exalted and his need for being dominated would have led to disaster.

Refusing to be a Dem player, he ran right home to be butt boy for CHEENEE-Rums. So there he was a year ago shamelessly lying, which isn't new for him, and now he's the poster boy for groveling back to the U.N. and talking about "our friends" and how everybody has a right to an opinion and a decision. HAH!

TAKE it, POWELL! I'm expecting to hear Condi singing "Old Man River" and "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" in the background (as she did for Shrub the weekend after 9-11).

[rocktivity]

11. I still remember when Powell told the UN

That the evidence he was about to present against Saddam "IS IRREFUTABLE." He IS kind of hard to watch when he's not terribly convinced about what he's saying, isn't he?

12. I agree. Both Powell & Rice

sold out. Out of all the Bushwacker administration, these two are the most unconvincing liars. When the Niger scandal exploded, it was so obvious that she was lying. Her eyes shifted, her voice softened. It's like she was dealing with a horrific inner struggle.

Colin Powell is definitely more hardened, but not nearly as psychotic as the others. They probably convinced themselves that they had to do it in order to stay in their positions. It's sad, really. Because they can only feel shitty about the things they did, and now that ship is sinking, looks like they bought the wrong ticket.

13. He must be

counting the hours before he can go "spend more time with the family".
