He is such a liar. I don’t recall him bitching when 41 invaded Iraq.
“He is such a liar. I don’t recall him bitching when 41 invaded Iraq”
Post facto facto interview, he did tell 41 that if he broke it he would buy it.
Powell was a toady to Bush same as he was to Obama. I wonder if Ike, MacArthur, Patton, Lemay, Nimitz etc would have waffled.
“He is such a liar. I don’t recall him bitching when 41 invaded Iraq.”
Yeah, he did. He was opposed to it at first, but then GHWB pulled rank on him and he (Powell) jumped on the band wagon to protect his “political viability.” Powell is the weakest of weak sisters, and EVERYTHING he gained throughout his career was due to politics and affirmative action. His rise within the military was strictly PC, as he was not what one would call a warrior. But, once you rise to a certain rank, pretty much every move after that is political.
