Powell if you’d given the proper advise during Desert Storm...like taking saddamn out then...most likely we’d not be in Iraq today....this is your fault jerkoff.

Yeah, you are right. Powell could not bring himself continue when the news showed the death and destruction of the retreating Iraq forces as they left Kuwait. It was just too un-PC to kill the bas%$#@* all the way to Bagdad.

I have never believed that the “Powell doctrine” was much other than institutional sand-bagging and a morale killer to boot.

Powell was never much better than Wesley Clark, he just got better press and we can guess why.

Powell was the one who wanted the war stopped before Saddam was defeated in the first Gulf War. No one is more responsible for the situation in Iraq today than Powell.

And he continues to give the same bad advice: Don't finish the job.
