It was almost all on Powell that we stopped going into Iraq in GW1 looking for Saddam. Everyone in Washington knew it, which is part of the reason he was the face of “searching for WMDs” in the UN and all that bullsnot.

The President sets the larger objectives. That was not an objective of Bush 41. If I am wrong, please point out where Bush 41 had an explicit, stated objective of removing S. Hussein for power in Iraq.

. Irregardless, the Powell Doctrine is still a sound test for the US to follow.

***No such word.

the Powell Doctrine is still a sound test for the US to follow.
