The man who could have been the first African-American President threw it all away when he allowed Bush, Cheney, and their ilk to use him to pass along the cherry-picked intelligence on Iraq which led us into our senseless and needless war.You can see Powell in an exclusive interview tonight with Barbara Walters on ABC at 10PM where he candidly talks about the blunders of the Iraq war and the Bush ass-kissing sheep's favorite lie about the link between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.
"I have never seen a connection. … I can't think otherwise because I'd never seen evidence to suggest there was one..."
The story of Colin Powell is an American tragedy. He could have been a a decent Democrat president someday and he threw it all away by allowing himself to be duped by liars.
Yes, I said "Democrat" president. There's no way the party of bigots, the republican party, with their majority being unabashed racial bigots would have ever voted for an African-American.
But, that's all a moot point now anyway since Bush and Cheney threw out Powell's integrity like yesterday's garbage when they set him up as their patsy in front of the UN and the rest of the World.
Tonight, 10PM.
