Powell is a great liability to the Bush Administration and an enemy of Israel. He delayed the war in Iraq until the weather nearly made it unfeasible (we should've gone to war a month earlier); he brought up this weapons of mass destruction as a justification when Iraq having the facilities at Salman Park and training the 9/11 terrorists would have been better one; he criticized Sharon for killing this Hamas terrorist today; and is pushing this roadmap to destroy Israel's sovereignty and Jewish state itself. And you give us an article from this leftwing Haaretz newspaper that is infected with self haters.
Sorry Veronica, I think you're being over optimistic. This Abu Mazen is a holocaust denier and terrorist too. We're paying the price in Iraq for Powell putting pressure on Israel not to crack down on homicide bombers there.
It is no wonder that some Objectivist psychologist calls Colin Powell the most dangerous man in America.
