Why is Colin Powell Lying? Video

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/01/05.html#a1247 has the video
On the Today show this morning, Colin Powell said that the "initial" U.S.
commitment to the disaster relief in South Asia was "$350,000,000"

It's obvious that the administration must be embarrassed by their initial offers of aid to the Tsunami tragedy. As we and other sites have noted, the U.S. started out with pledging 400,000 dollars, then 15 million, than 35 million, and now 350 million dollars. All of us realize that the U.S. and it's citizens would have stepped up to the plate in this world crisis. Why then would Powell openly misstate the facts if not to try and put a spin to the White House's intial pledges.

1. Harry Belafonte called it. Powell is the house negro slave to the Bushies

He is a lying MOUTHPIECE. A stooge, a losah.

It's called creating an historical correction

4. They used that clip on the Daily Show last night.

Kind of surprised that they didn't run with that "initial commitment" lie.

Lie, lie, lie, it's all they can do because the truth never seems to be on their side.

5. I don't know why people still hold out one ounce of respect

for Colin Powell. His "covering up" Vietnam's war crimes was enough for me to NOT respect him as Secretary of State.

I can understand some Democratic folks respecting him UNTIL after his LIES before the UN.

He's as corrupt as Rove and the rest of "the gang" in the Executive Branch.
