Powell's "Half a million troops" is telling. It means he absolutely knew the kind of commitment the US would need in Iraq. But at the same time, the gov't. was trying to convince the US public that Iraq would be a cakewalk, that it would require only a modest commitment of the US Armed Forces. Gen. Shinseki has crucified by the Administration for claiming those very same numbers in public.
I wonder if Powell would have been as forthcoming as Shinseki.
From Lt Col. Kwaitkowski's "New Pentagon Papers": "From May 2002 until February 2003, I observed firsthand the formation of the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans and watched the latter stages of the neoconservative capture of the policy-intelligence nexus in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq..." (cont)
"I saw a narrow and deeply flawed policy favored by some executive appointees in the Pentagon used to manipulate and pressurize the traditional relationship between policymakers in the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies." (cont)
"I witnessed neoconservative agenda bearers within OSP usurp measured and carefully considered assessments, and through suppression and distortion of intelligence analysis promulgate what were in fact falsehoods to both Congress and the executive office of the president." - Lt Col. Karen Kwaitkowski
ONE QUESTION? WAS THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION...WELL JUST THE LOSS OF LIFE WORTH IT? COME ON YOU SONS OF BITCHS! OVER A MILLION IRAQIS AND GOD HOW MANY SOLDIERS? I MEAN HOW MANY LIVE WILL IT TAKE?
I have an exceedingly hard time believing this man. He reminds me of a criminal conspirator, who - facing insurmountable evidence - does everything to minimize his own culpability (while placing it on others) in the re-living of the crime (even painting himself in heroic terms). It's a lie. The idea of Bush running ANYTHING, let alone the Iraq War, is not credible - the same Bush, who, in the last 2 years of his 8-year "reign", completely checked-out, put it on auto-pilot as the economy crashed?
Why are people surprised at Colin Powell? After all he tried to cover up the Mai Lai massacre during Viet nam. He is nothing but a professional opportunist who has absolutely no morals like many depraved military officers I came across!

i remember in march 2003 accepting that all the hype about WMD might be true. but i never for a second agreed that this justified the invasion of another country and the inevitable killing of many innocent people. waging wars of aggression is always a crime, whether good excuses or not.
At the time, I figured Colin Powell was on the level. I felt the whole WMD push was bogus, but if Powell says it's true, I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. For awhile. But the arguments against it were too strong.
This interview is a perfect exposition of the danger of having military men in positions of influence. They will expend ENORMOUS amounts of energy trying to make "the pieces fit" no matter how impractical or unnatural. It's the military mindset of "doing your job as ordered". We need a system (people) who are more based in REALITY and PRAGMATISM. We need a whole change in priorities.
I'm a mexican that has always lived in Mexico, to this day. In my country, everyone knew that it was about the oil, from the very beginning. No one believed that there were any WMD in Iraq. Not in Latin America, not in Europe.
So, my question is: Why mots americans believed that lie?
@shanaqbaimuru Speaking as American, I can say it's because most of us still want to believe that this is the same country that revolted against the King of England in order that we could live free. We also still have a lot of family members who fought the last "good" war, WWII. We delude ourselves TODAY thinking this is still the same country, but it's NOT. We don't even follow our own laws. This government has been hijacked.
Wilkerson is lying. He didn't write up his resignation; he didn't have the guts or the foresight. He's just trying to save face by "ratting" ten years after the fact. I hope it lets him sleep at night.
@SonofNewo Yeah he's not pulling the wool over my eyes either. I wonder what nightmare was coming his way that would make him have to go public with this?
@elbowbiter1 Possibly, I like to think that he was going to be made into a fall guy for some up coming conspiracy or that he fucked up somehow and made some one's "Disappearance" list. Either way... If we held this clown up to the standards of the Nuremberg Trials... this guy would be facing severe jail time for what he freely admitted in this interview. May he live to see his children and grand children die screaming like so many Iraqi grand parents surely have because of his complicity.
@elbowbiter1 I don't agree with that at all. There's no conspiracy involving this lifetime bureaucrat, I don't think. He's just trying to rationalize his failures after-the-fact. He's no hero, but he's no villain either. He's just a bureaucrat embarrassed by his complicity, trying to remain relevant and trying to salvage his reputation by "ratting out" his former superiors in the most wimpy of ways. He's not even really a whistleblower, although he no doubt wants to be seen that way. Pathetic!
@SonofNewo Oh I don't believe in hero's and villians. I do believe however that this guy is partly responsible for aiding those that committed a war crime (an accessory). A war of aggression to make rich people richer and enslave a nation to steal it's oil. There is no difference between this guy and the germans that worked the bureacracy of the gas chambers. They did time... this guy is no better (or worse). If you do the crime... you do the time. Where's your disagreement, I can't see it?
@SonofNewo Oh, I see where the disconnect might be then... would you agree that the invasion of Iraq, technically speaking, was a war crime? If so (and it was) did this gentleman not have knowledge of potential illegal war mongering? Does he not admit to participating in the preparations of a presentation that played a big part in swaying a nation to commit a war crime? Did he speak up when the WMDs didn't surface? He then can be charged as an accessory (after the fact, at best) to a war crime.
@elbowbiter1 He could probably be charged with something, but I don't think he was involved in a conspiracy, if that makes any sense. Or if he was involved, it was due to his own cowardice and incompetence.
Powell made $14.6 Million a year on the board of Aol. His son, head off the Fcc allowed Aol to merge with TimeWarner creating the largest media monopoly in the world. Michael now makes big bucks being a "defense" consultant.
This confirms everything the "conspiracy theorists" said at the time and since. It also syncs with Daniel Ellsberg writings about how the intelligence agencies guide government policy.
this guy is a corrupt jerk who lies all the time! He never felt bad about anything. He is doing his work of disinformation. 9/11 was orchestrated by CIA
@ScottishAtheist Even despicable Alex Jones sometimes hits the truth. Ever seen WTC7 crumble like a planned demolition? It´s beyond my physical understandig (I am a physicist after all.) How a symmetric collapse like this should be caused from a unsymmetric fire distribution and only one central column giving way. It´s totally unnatural.
Hush up now troofer... everybody knows that there is absolutely no historical evidence for any gov't through out history ever conspiring against and murdering it's own people for political and economic gain. It is pure fantasy to think that the world is run by anything BUT nice fluffy bunny lovers and altruists. Come on, grow up and get real only poor INDEPENDANT desperados do things like this. Now, hold my seat while I continue to vote and watch reality TV.
@elbowbiter1 Being a german I know a very fascinating story that shurely is just a "conspiracy theory" and some german regard it as such (and get jailed for it): 6 million so called Jews (genetically there is no such thing as a Jew btw.) were killed on behalf of the germans being racist. Many hundred tausends of them where fellow germans even nationalist that woke up some day being ousted from their homes. So YOU tell me there are no conspiracies that killed their own people and even blood?
@pcuimac Well if you are going to believe in the Haulaucaust... then you must also believe that 9/11 was an inside job! I don't believe in conspiracies. No sane person actually believes that groups of people conspire against each other. Ok, poor and middle class people do because they are unwashed plebian morons. The ruling elite on the other hand have never, and would never, stoop so low as to consolidate their power through extortion, theft and bribery. FYI, The rich are angelic human beings.
there's a clip of colin powell on you-tube talking in Feb 01 about how saddam has no WMD's, and that he was "unable to project conventional power against his neighbors", if powell knew in 2001 that saddam had no wmd, then he must have known in 02/03 he had no wmd! how do you go from having no WMD to having them in the space of 1 year ? add to the fact Saddam couldn't trade with anyone at that time.
As a German, I am really happy, that Joschka Fischer was German Secretar of State at the time: "I am sorry, but I am not convinced" was a very appropriate reaction to Powell's presentation, and I know, a lot of other German politicians would not have had the guts to publicly say that.

@nilbud Lets not forget that Scott Ritter who was a UNITED STATES MARINE and UN Chief Inspector of Weapons in Iraq, led a team of 4500 Arms Inspectors in Iraq and knew Iraq had no WMD's and were not a threat! They marginalized him and what he had to say to advance their agenda!
@nilbud You could tell he was lying at the UN and he was very uncomfortable with it. I was kind of laughing so much it was transparent. He was pushed around by Bush advisers I'm sure. But still, he should have said no.
Millions of Americans lost all respect for Colin Powell based on his deception at the UN. When we says he was misled, he is correct but he is much more intelligent than he pretends. He was misled and he went along with it and misled the American people. I no longer trust a word out of his mouth. He played a major role in the carnage that followed his UN speech. Good riddence to Mr. Powell.
Please...please...the next time you do a series of these kind of excellent interviews..please list #1, #2 after each video..it keeps us on track. Thank you.
I didnt't tell my superiors how i felt about the whole business, I didn't resign when i felt everything didn't make ANY sense, but i am here now yapping about the whole affair after it is ALL SAID AND DONE...to say WE ALL F>>D up because none of us had the balls to say...THIS IS NOT RIGHT...SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE,.... well booooo Hooooo ... tooo little tooo late ahole .... but let's cheer for this guy b/c he's among the 1st high rank to make noise... I guess... be it true or not.
@dangermous1968 Couldn't have said it better myself ….. I suppose he was a victim of human nature maybe …. How many of us would have the gaul to not just pull out of an active crime in the heat of the moment, but also, either stop it or speak against it there and then while the crime is progress out fear?
I also agree it's major cop out to plead ignorance by coercion and then testify after the fact BUT like you said, true or false, it either vindicates or gives piece of mind I guess.
@wabfunk what is interesing is that if little you or me were caught as part of a heat of the momment crime , we would be indicted as cohorts, or as guilty as the person that commited the crime, ......however in this case , many have died, billions if not trillions have been wasted, and nobody says a word axcept for this guy...who makes noise on this YT channel with a couple hundred watching his downfall.
Ok, all together now ... USA USA USA ... Sorry, it's what I'm use to hearing when the smell of shit is in the air. No offence to the Americans that are wide awake.
Probally two more george bush style wars in south america and two more in africa before the united states is contempt in not being number 1 anymore, it goes china then india, and after a while the united states will calm down from hitler mode and start acting like germany or france.
@Redfingers You clearly still have a lot learn - especially when you say:-
"My only question is whether this was pure negligent incompetence or deliberate negligence."
This series is to SHOW YOU that the whole thing was preconceived. At some point you NEED to understand that it has nothing to do with "pure negligent incompetence or deliberate negligence." THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. All hey wanted was world support and they got it, unfortunately cos the us took the bait hook line and sinker.
i would say deliberate deception. I know there are a lot of people who think politicians are "incompetent". It's a laughable idea, no offence. They know well what they're doing, at every single step.
bc if it was regular negligence that means the people were just incompetent, if it was intentional then,WHOA HEY, ur calling people evil, and "everyone knows" u must be some sort of left wing nut, right, to suggest MAYBE there were people in power who abused it (like it would be the first time in history)
@Redfingers Indeed, what is surprising is that the American people, decade after decade continue to elect this rich cocksuckers that do not care about but power and profit. It is time for another American revolution.
@Redfingers He is right about Colin Powell's rep - he really was consider The Last Honest Man in the gov't., let alone the Bush Administration.
But I suspected at the time that something like this was going to happen, based off the the way the Administration and State Dep't. seemed to work at cross purposes.
Powell's "Half a million troops" is telling. It means he absolutely knew the kind of commitment the US would need in Iraq. But at the same time, the gov't. was trying to convince the US public that Iraq would be a cakewalk, that it would require only a modest commitment of the US Armed Forces. Gen.

As an American, Colin Powell's UN presentation, retrospectively, was probably the most embarrassing foreign policy event in American history.
It is absolutely unacceptable that it took us this long to realize just how utterly ridiculous that entire charade was.
My only question is whether this was pure negligent incompetence or deliberate negligence.

@Redfingers Powell lied to the UN beacuse Pearl and the horseman of death were standing behind him and making sure he would lie to the UN.

@Redfingers exactly, you hit it on the head!!!!
bc if it was regular negligence that means the people were just incompetent, if it was intentional then,WHOA HEY, ur calling people evil, and "everyone knows" u must be some sort of left wing nut, right, to suggest MAYBE there were people in power who abused it (like it would be the first time in history)

@Redfingers Indeed, what is surprising is that the American people, decade after decade continue to elect this rich cocksuckers that do not care about but power and profit. It is time for another American revolution.

@Redfingers He is right about Colin Powell's rep - he really was consider The Last Honest Man in the gov't., let alone the Bush Administration.
But I suspected at the time that something like this was going to happen, based off the the way the Administration and State Dep't. seemed to work at cross purposes.

Wilkerson is great, but keep in mind he never resigned, he wrote the letter, he knew this was screwed up but stayed.
