In response to Powell's idiotic logic.....

[Postman]

in his statement of an Iraq - Al-Qaeda link... “I have not seen smoking gun, concrete evidence about the connection, but I do believe the connections existed,”

Mr. Powell, I have no smoking gun, concrete proof about the existence of the TOOTH FERRY, but I do believe he/she existed....

now prove me wrong. What a jacka** stooge. Just quit now Mr. Uncle Tom

1. His arrogance really struck me yesterday...

That bastard lies like the rest of them and the media let them all get away with it. They should all be impeached for treason....

2. Once Upon a Time...

...I considered powell to be a man of some integrity. Now, After Ron Kovic's revelations and his willingness to soooo easily give up his supposed honor have made me lose alllll respect for him.

It's a shame that he has degenerated to a point where people on this site and elsewhere call him an "Uncle Tom", but he has entirely earned it and he asked for it when he willingly lied to the American public and the U.N.

3. I got nailed by the moderators for using a nickname

And you are calling the Secretary of State a "stooge", and "Mr. Uncle Tom", which would be/should be/is considered a racist remark. Go figure.....

4. He is a soldier first, and he did as he was commanded

House Bush prizes loyalty above all else (including competence!) He fell on his sword for Shogun Bush. I think he knew the intel was bupkus, but he wasn't hired to be a leader.

He "serves at the pleasure of the President," after all.

6. Actually he serves US, the people, ultimately. And he is a failure.

5. He does not count. State is out and he was their for the vote.

Not a bad man but he sold himself down the river with Bush. People who tie up with Bush do not end up well unless it will help Bush.Powell also went out and pretty much made his life what it was. Bush is more who his name is and you do not need to work to get to where you wish to be.
