Telegraph | News | Powell admits his Iraq WMD claim is 'painful blot': "Asked whether he had put loyalty to the president above his own judgment, Mr Powell said he had not: 'Loyalty is a trait that I value and yes, I am loyal. And there are some who say, 'Well, you shouldn't have supported it. You should have resigned'. But I'm glad that Saddam is gone. I'm glad that that regime is gone.'"
What a piece of shit degenerate. He still can't bring himself to grow a pair. Blaming underlings, when he is a god damn "General". "Who would have knew what the war would be like?". You asshole, millions od demonstrators around the whole tried to tell your dumb uncle tom ass that you were a tool, and were being used to open the gates of hell, you fucking bitch.
I apologize to all female dogs who may be offended.
Whoa, Refugee. Such language. Let me put my following comment in context. I HATE war. I hate THIS war. I hated the Vietnam war also. The brother of my very best friend in high school was killed in Vietnam a week after he got to Vietnam by what turned out to be "friendly fire." After he died an army representative came to her house and told her family that her brother could have gotten an exemption because he was the sole surviving son in the family. The family never got over Rufus's death-even to this very day. I spent a lot of time protesting the war. Not ony were war protester's killed at Kent State [your alma mater], they were also killed at Jackson State, an HBCU. So a lot of blood was shed in the States trying to end that war, and some blood is going to be shed in attempting to end this war.
ReplyDeleteBUT-with all this said, I got a negative vibe re: your rant against Colin Powell. Yes, he should have more courage and fortitude in saying he was lied to and he subsequently lied to us. But it is hard to fight the machine. Those that do generally meet an untimely death. And he more than anybody else knows this. So he's probably not ready to die yet. Very few of us are.
I know this is old school, but I had a teacher who used to say that we can disagree without being disagreeable. But ultimately, we all have to say what we say in the way we want to say it. But as I have probably said somewhere before, words are very powerful and once they go out into the atmosphere we cannot take them back and we have to answer for each and every word we say.
PEACE.
Only ONE negative vibe, damn, I'm not trying hard enough I guess.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your comment, I'm not sure I get what you are trying to say?
I should take it easy on uncle Powell?
He's not ready to die yet? LOL! Oh really? Since when is a GENERAL, not ready to die for what he believes is right and true. Especially a general who has just found out he has been betrayed by his country, and his commander in chief? A general at the END of his career. Those kids you spoke of that died at those two colleges for the end to the crime against humanity that was the Vietnam war, shitted out more courage, and honor than this asshole will ever know. Guess, what, they weren't 4 star Generals, nor did they SWEAR to protect the constitution against enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC. GENERAL UNCLE POWELL disgraces ALL military men and women that serve(d). He is the epitome of a TOOL!
"It is hard to fight the machine" Especially when you aint trying, TexAD.
Especially when your a tool for, and a cog in that very machine"
Are we even talking about the same COLON Powell? Do you know how much blood is on this man's hands? Don't you remember how we got into this war in the first place, because of his lies, and auntie rices lies.
And if you think, that I believe that he just now found out that he was lied to,(as it seems you do) then you must take me for a fool. That bastard KNEW what the hell he was doing!
What he is doing now is trying to save what remaining face he has left, without crossing his bosses to the point they won't consider him for a permanent spot on the Carlye Group, unlike his current unofficial position.
"words are very powerful and once they go out into the atmosphere we cannot take them back and we have to answer for each and every word we say."
Something you should have emailed to your uncle powell, before the UN address. His words were the launchpad for murder. My words are the expressed outrage against the men, women and CHILDREN he helped to murder.
Sheesh.
I guess what I'm saying is this: My 30+ year old daughter's name is ERIKKA, named after Erica Huggins, a former Black Panther in California, whose husband John Huggins was murdered because he was set up by Ron Karenga and an organization called US. Karenga is the originator of Kwanza, and was purported to be an agent provacateur of the government during the height of the Civil Rights movement. I've seen them come and I've seen them go-but I'm in this for the long haul. There is history and HIStory-I'm like the griot in Africa-I'm here to tell the real HISTORY.
