Heckuva job, Emily. This makes Emily a top candidate for that White House Press Secretary gig...surely, it puts her toward the top of the list of likely Bush Supreme Court nominees. "She's a good man," said Bush.

I thought he never got along with Bush, the person who hired him? That he hated Bush and undermined him whenever he could?

I was watching this interview the morning it happened and it sent a shiver down my spine. This little clip does not give the whole context, Powell was spilling beans on the Bush BS and a staff member loyal to the Bushinistas tried to shut down the interview.

This is quite extraordinary. It makes me endlessly angry.

Powell has more credit for acknowledging he and other were misled by the US intelligence community. It is rare for a politician to say he was misled and that the war was in effect created by Bush and his immediate circle. If only Obama listened to him and not the henchmen Bush employed and Obama has kept in position.

Wow! Doesn't sound like the bush admin. I know of.
Powell's stupid ass trying to get out of answering why he went in front of the world and INTENTIONALLY LIED in order to invade Iraq, cause the creation of millions of refugees, and deaths of hundreds of thousands. Fucking bastard.

The information Mr. Powell resented to the UN about WMDs in Iraq was false. He was mislead and that was why he resigned. Thats what you call a man of integrity. A friend of the Bush family -- and they totally fuck'ed him.

I knew that what he was saying were lies when he was saying them. There is no way he didn't also know.

Ammm! I don't think so. Based on the intelligence briefing of which I'd consider as a reliable source was very convincing. Furthermore he's acting under direct orders from the commander in chief. Naturally if he was lying he'd try to defend his actions. In this case he just resined. Case in point George W. still says that invading Iraq was the right thing to do.

I was told we were to invade Iraq more than a year ahead of time. Why would Powell not know if I did? I knew at the time it was fabricated. Furthermore, the downing street memo proves that was the case. The intelligence agencies themselves are the biggest liars on the face of the planet. When Joe Wilson attempted in good faith to correct the false allegations of Iraq aquiring uranium from Africa, they retaliated against him by exposing his wife's cover as a CIA agent.
