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