I now officially will never believe another word he says. I forgave him for telling us lies in front of the U.N., because I took it as someone behind the scenes giving him bad information...but even with the information, he is still lying and saying that we couldn't avoid invading Iraq...LIE! LIE! LIE!

A very telling comment by Colin Powell...

The Afghanistan government is not running the way we need a government to run.

Thats the problem.... we cant control how Afghanistan runs their government

Why do we think that we need to be the big brother to every other country that doesn't do things the way we do? I know that there are fundamental differences in the way we view freedoms and women's rights and more, but were we invaded before women got the vote? Did another country decide to take over and force us to allow young black children to attend school in the south? Why don't we have troops from Norway shooting at us because we don't allow gay marriage?

Well, he is on a right wing show..... he has to stick to their agenda.
The truth is Bush went into office looking for an excuse to finish daddy's war with Iraq.

1. He's very conversant in Doublethink n/t

[valerief]

2. Rewriting history. And the Texas textbook publishers certainly will! nt

3. Yeah, the Bushistas tried to avoid a war in Iraq the way Sen. Vitter tried to avoid prostitutes.

As to the Afghan government running the way we need, Tom Lehrer said it best: "They've got to be protected, all their rights respected, till somebody we like can be elected."

4. He was not in the loop, don't you get it YET?

Neither he nor Rice were 'honored' by being informed or consulted by cheney, wolfowitz, or the rest of the inner circle.

You want to hate Powell, go right ahead, but do it for sound reasons, not that he had power and information and failed to use them. He didn't.

[Yeahyeah]

5. U.N. ring a bell?You wanna love Powell do it for sound reasons.

You're right.I don't get that Powell and Rice had no power or information.

[elleng]

6. He spent many hours looking into all the items in his presentation,

AND THEY LIED TO HIM.

p.s., its not 'love.'

9. Of course he wasn't in the loop.

I wasn't either, but i was never deluded into thinking Bushco was trying to avoid war. That was obvious from the day they said Saddam was not allowing inspectors in while inspectors were THERE. It was obvious from that moment on that NOTHING Saddam said or did would be sufficient to stave off invasion, INCLUDING stepping down and leaving the country (which would have fallen short of 'regime change' as the Baathists would still run the government).

10. "The Afghanistan government is not running the way we need a government to run."

So I guess we need to teach them to do their corruption via campaign finance like we do here?
