3. Same Old; Same old ....
There they go again. Bad intelligence. Then whole world believed they had WMDs. Bullshit. Germany knew they didn't have any; France knew it; Russia knew it. What Powell is covering up is the fact they wanted to go to war and damn the truth. They were manufacturing this "bad" intel. I'm certain that the same special ops people forged the Niger papers that forged the Bush Nat Guard reports that ousted Dan Rather.

8. Nothing New
It's all been said before. The important thing is that this criminally illegal war has resulted in the deaths of Americans and Iraqis. For that reason, Bush, Cheney, and Powell should go on trial for conspiracy to commit murder.

10. This is nothing new or "shocking" . Powell has admitted mistakes
before but blamed them on bad intelligence. Better question. Why did Bush include the Niger claim in the state of the union when your state department knew it was false?

11. The thing that bothers me the most
I trusted Colin Powell.I knew what bastards and liars all the rest of them were but I honestly felt that Powell was a decent man and when I found out how he lied it really hurt that he could do that to us.I would never believe him again no mater what he says,he is a disgrace to america
