Draw your own conclusions from the fact that Armitage’s best friend Colin Powell called Dick Cheney’s supporters (including Scooter Libby, Doug Feith and Paul Wolfowitz) the “Gestapo Office” (quite insulting considering that there is a history of relatives lost in the Holocaust among them).
Factor in that Powell called Doug Feith “a card-carrying member of the Likud Party” and referred to the Likudnicks in the White House controlling policy during his “exit interview with Bush” (see Assassin’s Gate: America in Iraq) – thereby showing his support for anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists.

By Barbara Slavin, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — The former head of the State Department's in house intelligence bureau Tuesday described President Bush's nominee for United Nations ambassador as "a quintessential kiss-up, kick-down sort of guy" whose attempt to intimidate a mid-level analyst raises "real questions about his suitability for high office."

oops! hiccups. sorry.
Jeff Greenfield is an horse's arse and doesn't know what he's talking about.
Yeah, Colin Powell is more like an affirmative action Jimmah Carter, and truly one of the biggest weasals in the 1st & 2nd Bush Admins, as well as the BJC Admin...confirmed through someone with upclose first hand knowledge. But maybe GW did need him on board to win in 2000???
Thanks for posting the Lowry comment. I had given up on reading anything sensible at NRO.

we can't even get an honest answer from our government as to whether the president of Iran - was one of the hostage takers at the embassy in 1979, even though they surely know the answer. and you ask "why"?
"WHO was between the General and the President?
None other than Colin Powell!
Saddam later used that same armor to suppress the uprising"
If true that is a very disturbing observation.....I have often been concerned about how much oil-for-food program cash was making its way back to policy makers in DC...both at State and the DNC....

Never watch the program.
I know Olberman was a sports annoucer or something.
Then the peter principle took over.

Hi, DoughtyOne. Good to see you posting.
LOL
I think it was Carl Ford that testified against Bolton..and IMHO...not only smeared him...but may have lied to keep him from becoming UN Ambassador...but don't quote me on the "lied" part...it was just a feeling I had during the hearings.
bttt
I've known Brent Scowcroft for years and to say that I'm disappointed in him would be an understatement....and he's the first one that the Libs quote when trashing W.
Please don't tell me that....now I'm really PO'd at Brent....that's one thing I never knew...I never could understand why he was so anti-W yet so close to Bush-41....
