Colin Powell is so full of Orwellian bullshit...
it's amazing his head stays on straight:

""Because a large military presence will still be required under U.S. command, some would say 'Well you are not giving full sovereignty'. But we are giving sovereignty so that sovereignty can be used to say, 'We invite you to remain'. That is a sovereign decision," Powell said. "

hmm... and if that sovereignty is used to "invite" us to LEAVE??? Then what, Colon??? :shrug:

1. I always know the chimp feels threatened when Powell and Hughes
take the stage. He is spending all that money and his support for the war is going down, his approval rating is going down, and those who are concerned about the direction this country is heading is going up.

He is feeling vulnerable. YEAH!

2. Also,
if we stamp out the resistance, there will be less resistors, therefore--more in support of the U.S.


Up is down...

4. Powell is clearly out of the loop.
He has ZERO credibility since the Woodward book.

When I see him on TV now, I don't even listen to what he says.

I just shout at the TV, "But what does the Saudi Ambassador think?"
