Reply #7: Thing is I like Colin Powell...I think unfortunately he [View All]

[nytemare]

stuck to being a "good soldier", sticking by his chain despite personal and professional differences. The thing here was, Powell had more postitive experience than any of the other cabinet members, including the President. They should have listened to Powell, not the other way around. The aluminum tube thing from him floored me.

He, unlike other members of the administration, was irate over the Abu Ghraib mess. The memo to Gonzales pissed him off. They should have listened to Powell there, as well. I think Abu Ghraib was the biggest screw up of the administration. That is what other countries see about us now.

What a shame.
