Colin Please Talk

I agree with Warren Whipple over at Dingleberry Wine that Colin Powell needs to level with the American people. I too held Powell in very high regard although not so much that he convinced me we had to invade Iraq. It certainly wasn't necessary at that time. Should he have been duped too, as Warren suggests might be the case, I would forgive him, although could never regard him in the same way again.

However any other scenario wouldn't do. Any other scenario would mean Powell was incompetent or a flat out liar just like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the usual thugs. His reputation aside, he is out now and probably knowledgable about the whole run-up to the attack and he owes US an explanation.

Warren's piece is very good. Please go over and read it all.
