We can thank Powell for the failure to depose Saddam in 1991.

Powell is the most overrated person ever to hold a position of high public trust in the US Government.

We can thank Powell for the failure to depose Saddam in 1991. Powell is the most overrated person ever to hold a position of high public trust in the US Government.

Powell was the person who argued against finishing off Saddam to George H.W. Bush.

And then, in the second Gulf War, it was Powell as Secretary of State who lost access to Turkey as the staging point for the northern front into Iraq, causing the USA to spend another week moving material to the south. The left wide open the entire north and west part of Iraq for Hussein to spirit out his WMD's, and for his army to melt back into the populationm.

If Powell has secured Turkey's cooperation, I believe that we would have found Saddam's WMD's, the army would have been destroyed, and 7 years of "Bush Lied" would never have happened.
