Reply #120: When HAVEN'T the neo-cons been controlling the show? [View All]

[ClintonTyree]

In every aspect, from Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz telling the Generals how to prosecute the war right on up to bush who made the final "agonizing" :eyes: decision when to start the war, the neo-cons have been in total control.
Powell wasn't even a speed-bump in their way. He put up as much resistance to this illegal, immoral war as a wet washcloth.
I will not dignify Powell's position in this travesty. He had the chance to go public and tell the American people that this war was a complete sham based on manufactured or flimsy evidence. He chose not to. He's going to have to live with that for the rest of his life, and I'll be one of the people that makes sure he never forgets it.
