when there is nothing between the ears, fantasy fills the void very effectively

Bush may not be the brightest light but he knows that Cheney is the the only thing standing between him and getting his head shot off like the last guy who had a Haliburton Vice President did. Did you notice that when Bush spoke to the 9/11 Commission he had to take Cheney with him? That was to make sure no one could claim that he had said something he wasn't supposed say, like maybe, "Well, yeah, Cheney was in charge of the whole thing."

I once had great respect for POWELL, but not any more I read his book and thaught it was great, NOW pOWELL TO ME is just another KISS ASS lap-dog suck-up REPUBLICAN that has no morals, just another RUBBER STAMP REPUBLICAN. H.D.C.

"He didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know. I never believed it."

If Powell is suggesting Wilson needn't have bothered, then I respect Powell all the less - if that's possible.

Powell and Tenet are as guilty as Bush and his cronies for the lives lost, how can they be made to repent for their crimes, I suggest exile to Iraq, or some other war torn country. They have no shame , they will live comfortably on their pensions, so will Bush.

You would think Powell as a Military man would have objected in strong terms because he knew our troops were being putin harms way for poorly defined and unjustified reasons. His failure to speak out 3 years ago shows his lack of character . He needs to swing from the same tree as Bush and Cheney and the rest of the Neocon bastards.

Listen up soldiers, your commanding officers have spoken. The war's a sham. Lay down your arms.

so many issues regarding irak and we are still there fighting. In war there's allways loss of life. what would it take to end american participation in that area ?

What shocks me the most is how candid Powell is to say he went along with the lies. I thought he really believed in this Administration's allegations, but it seems he knew all along they were lying. That's even worse because it shows that Powell did not have the courage to stand for his ideas.

OIL OIL OIL OIL OIL.
Did I mention HUGE profits and OIL? Bush isn't the sharpest tool in the drawer, but he is the king of the new generation of robber barons. Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. We've managed to bring back the era of giant corporations making huge profits based on some yellow journalism and a willing and ignorant public. Cheney is just one of Bush's peers, except clearly a few notches higher on the evolutionary scale. Neither of them need fantasy, they just need potential profits to motivate themselves and a greedy or insecure public. Remember that the war would pay for itself? Clearly it did- if you have the right stock options.
