 Powell’s Iraq Admission ReverberatingPosted on Apr 12, 2006
Colin Powell’s controversial claim (made to Truthdig Editor Robert Scheer) that he never believed that Iraq posed an imminent nuclear threat has renewed the debate about Powell’s culpability in the Iraq debacle. Check out Vanity Fair’s Chris Hitchens and Newsweek’s Evan Thomas discussing the issue on “Hardball” or read Jane Hamsher’s take at Firedoglake.

Hitchens will be lucky if psycho Armitage doesn’t have him killed.

Remember when Bush asked Powell how the Iraq war was going and Powell told him the truth, that we were getting whupped, and Bush ordered him out of the room, out of his sight?

Hitchens is the male Ann Coulter. Why is bullshit lent any credence. Not only does he appear to be drunk, he also looks like he stinks.

To restore at least some trust, Colin Powell should now be totally honest.

Sober?!
Ha!
Hitchens has been drunk ever since he sold his soul to support the Iraqi deception/invasion/occupation.
Wouldn’t you be drunk all day long if you defended what you knew in your heart to be deadly wrong.
Have another pour Chris, in fact, take the whole bottle. And then raise a glass to your lost soul.

Colin Powell is a disgraced, lying former hero that shirked his responsibilites by following the Bush script and lying to the UN and the entire world. He should crawl into a hole and never show his sorry face to the public again. Nobody wants to see, much less hear from, his sorry ass again. He could have saved this country the embarrassment of our Liar-In-Chief and his illegal and immoral war by resigning BEFORE he went to the UN with his doctored up satellite photos, his sorry Power Point slide show and his lying speech. Go away, Colin, you screwed yourself, this country and the planet with your lies and you are a disgrace to your uniform. Please, just go away and shut up.

It is worthwhile that Colin Powell at least did finally tell the way he saw it.

Colin Powell disgraced himself by being the flunky that lied to the UN and the world about WMD - serving Bush’s need to “one up” his daddy in Iraq.
Why does Hardball permit drunks like Hitchens on the show - even when he is sober he is out of it.
