8 The guy that F’d up, listened to junk INTEL, and got us into Iraq is giving us advice? Oh....mmmkay....
23 Sorry, but this guy is part of the reason we had to go BACK into IRAQ a second time....
Not the way I remember it. Powell advocated for an economic blockade of Iraq and not for troops on the ground. It was Bush I's fu State Department that fouled up Iraq. Sadaam got the wrong impression from U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie that the U.S. would look the other way when he invaded Kuwait. After RWR provided military intelligence to Sadaam during the Iran-Iraq War. Don't recall the goof ball from the State Dept. who mucked around for a year trying to establish the transitional government.
Don't get me wrong - I detest the Powell. When he called the GOP racist and came out in support of BHO and HRC I completely washed my hands of the man.
