Colin Powell endorses Barak Obama

[Nebe]

I can see how many would simply call this the 'black' man supporting another black man, but if you look at how Powell was given the task of selling the Iraq war to the UN and how he dropped out of the public eye afterwards, its pretty obvious that he knew he was spreading lies to sell a bogus war.

If you look at his public remarks, he's been pretty consistent in asserting that he believed the information that was given to him. He has also alluded to the notion that he was misled by not being given access to contradictory intel on Saddam's WMD.

I do think he's quite embarrased/angered by the entire affair.

that Sadammy Salami had wmd's because he used them on the kurd's and totally wiped them out....

now whether he had "more" was debatable...
and IF he did, he exported them to Syria
more than likely...
(lots of stuff still buried in all that sand)

having to Prove....
the case against Iraq to go to war again was "bull crap"
because they were already shooting at our planes
which was against the cease fire agreement...
but.... the thing is... Bush/cheney
made Colin the fall guy and that's why he left politics... imho anyway (friggan back stabbers)
-----
