Reply #11: I don't hate colin powell, BUT.. [View All]

I don't revere him either. The UN debacle of him holding up the infamous "vial" and hawking the Iraq war is still a too vivid, recent memory for me.

I remember thinking he looked like a deer caught in headlights and that was disturbing to me. He was a respected military voice that could have been THE voice of reason during that awful time and he miserably failed.

Has he tried to redeem himself, yes. Does it change the outcome of an illegal and immoral war that has claimed the lives of so many, NO.

I'm happy and content over the results of the recent election, but not so much that I am willing to forget or forgive the hands on involvement of colin powell. Too many people are dead or left forever devastated by the supported actions of those in office at that terrible time, and I just can't resolve that in my mind.
