Colin Powell was theJCS commander during DESERT STORM and had the world’s best intelligence on what was on the ground in Iraq

He is a disingenuous pos to claim he was “ lied to” by intelligence because THEY were his STAFF and HE picked them

He’s either a weasel or dumber than a bag of hammers

I vote for both

Huh?

Powell was CJCS from ‘89-’93. The invasion of Iraq was in March of 2003. How is it that these guys were somehow his staff and he picked them when we are talking a decade later?

The information that he presented at the U.N., such as mobile WMD labs and such was said to have been recent intel at the time, not many years old.
