Another U.S. General Criticizes Bush Administration Iraq War Strategy
Maybe George Bush and Rumsfeld have heard of this guy, Colin Powell. (Voice of America)

1. Yes, more troops would have erased any moral ambiguity
whatsoever. Might makes right.

Hope you sleep well Colin. See ya at the Hague.

2. The point, however, is that Bush lied....
The president has constantly reminded us that he "followed the advice of his generals and provided what ever was necessary" to win in Iraq.

That lie is now countered by his own Secretary of State at the time.

We should not have committed any troops to Iraq, I agree, but Colin now attacks Bush from the right. Any attack on Bush for whatever reason should be welcomed.

3. Of course
but Colin the Enabler doesn't get off the hook that easily. His UN testimony is a major reason we're there.
