Powell was nothing more than a careerist in the Army. If I’m not mistaken, he was one of the ones that got Desert Storm stopped before Schwarzkopf had a chance to finish of the Republican Guard. Had Schwarzkopf been allowed finish the job, there probably would have been no need for this Iraq War.
P.S. I live near the Reagan Library and I think I heard the Gipper roll over in his grave upon hearing that someone he appointed stabbed a good conservative in the back.
You are 100% on target.
Colon Bowell went weak in the knees upon seeing the BDA of the Highway Of Death. After a righteous smackdown of the enemy, he wanted to surrender, and convinced Presdt. GHWB to rein in Schwarzkopf.
We could have driven into Baghdad, doing the Thunder Run 13 years early, and nailed Saddam right then. But no, that's not politically correct.
I will never forgive Colon Bowell.
