News:
Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said this week that Iraq is, indeed, in the midst of a civil war, and that America must acknowledge Iran’s role as a regional power, engaging it and Syria in direct negotiations to help stabilize Iraq.
It's getting pretty bad
When one of Chimpy's biggest rah-rah boys from the beginning of the Iraq debacle steps up and uses the "civil war" phrase in public, one would think that Chimpy would take note. But apparently Rove has the blinders pop-riveted over Chimpy's eyes, so he'll only see what he's pointed at, and he expects everyone else to do the same.
How long until the g0p machine starts smearing Powell? I'm betting it's a matter of hours.
It'll all go back to normal if we put our nation first, but the trouble with "normal" is it always gets worse. ~~~Bruce Cockburn
Honestly,
I don't think Bush even knows what his opinion is until someone writes it in a speech for him.
Ex-military secretarys of state
that hold the respect of the American people should realize that they are more likely to sell a lie and this could likely lead to public support of an invasion of a soveriegn country and removal of secular anti-radical islam opposition in the region allowing a radical islamic nation like Iran to gain the clout we have bestowed upon them causing the same liar to then say we need to acknowledge to power we bestowed upon them.
Powell
Powell is trying to atone for that day at the UN.
Powell is trying to atone for that day at the UN.
Usually I agree with "better late than never" but he COULD have spoken up a LOT sooner.
Powell's got a SHITLOAD of atoning to do.
The Fact that
he has spoken up at all is in itself admirable, and for that he should be praised.
he's too late.
IF he had spoken up BEFORE the Dems had started taking things back -- THAT would have been admirable.
Doing it now is just re-positioning himself politically. Shallow and calculated action. No courage in this statement, no matter how the media spins it.
“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
You have to figure in
the time it took Powell to recover from the realization the the Commander-In-Chimp made an ass of him and had been fucking him over repeatedly for years. Plus, I'm sure Powell had to make sure all loose ends were tied before stepping up and speaking out...He doesn't want his family dying unexpectedly from a stray missle being fired from somewhere (yes I think Bush would stoop to that to get back at critics!)! Powell, after all, is in a very unique and precarious position.
Three years ...
AFTER THE FACT? In my humble opinion, too little, ENTIRELY too late.
The only admirable thing
this liar could do is admit to his lies and expose the rest of the lies. Until he does that he is still an accomplice to this crime. I could care less about what his recommendations to diminish the damage he has contributed to are.
If a financial advisor intentionally gave you bad advice to pad his coffer with commissions off of the bad stocks you bought, I would not go back to the same advisor to get recommendations about how to recover from the financial damage especially if he refused to admit he intentionally gave you bad advice to begin with.
You make
good points Solar. And I agree that if he TRULY wants to redeem himself considering he basically is an accessory to a crime, he should put forth the TRUTH and nothing BUT the TRUTH. And ALL of it.
Praised?
And he has been quite for so long WHY?
Lets not minimulize the hundreds of thousands that have died do to this.
And they thought Saddam was mad.
Nicely put oh bright one, Solar
of course though short attention span America and American news broadcast could never get that across without filling a months worth of time in total discussion.
How blind the blind are for not seeing what is happening and even guessing why.
This is and what should never be, and should never have happened. That is why you have to go back to before 9/11 to find the path to truth. Just look at Chimps face in that school room. He looks like a GUILT ridden little boy whose in for it now, and must follow through or he's dead.
A good idea
if they put a zipper in loose cannon bush's fucking mouth and lock him in an air tight vault.
The democrats shouldn't even touch the Afghanistan/Iraq mess and let the misters know it all that lied and deceived their way into war and made the mess in the first place figure it all out by themselves or hang by their own ropes. And I meant "hang" literally.
The Democrats in the past two congresses are guilty of three things....forgetting all about 12 years where international inspectors in Iraq never found a single clue much less evidence of weapons of mass destruction....believing bush, blair, cheney, and rove's slick trick doctored up intel data in the first place, and....given bums rush time to vote one way or the other about going to war in Iraq.
The Iraqi war would have begun anyway without a single Democratic congresman's vote, because the fascist right wing had a majority vote without them.
The more I pause to study your writings
... the more intrigued I am.

Whole lotta truth encoded there.

Hey, Tom
I wasn't being snide.
Seriously, those fifty or so words of yours could be easily overlooked.
I was impressed that so much truth could be boiled down to such a rich gravey... almost a code!

A SOLUTION TO THE CRISIS IN DARFUR!
www.jeanvaljeanlives.com
This December The Jean Valjean Lives Foundation is proud to
open the Jean Valjean Lives Children’s Sanctuary in Darfur Africa.
The exact location of The Sanctuary is confidential for the safety
and security of the employees and the children.
However, it is located within two hours of Al Fashir.
The first thirty children will move in December 4, 2006.
The former orphanage can house up to two hundred children.
However, at this time The Sanctuary can only manage fifty
children.
The initial group of children are between the ages of four and
eight. With about sixty percent of the mix being female.
The Foundation has hired an in house physician and two
nurses. Along with a nutritionist, four teachers, a security team,
and administrative staff.
The focus of The Sanctuary to be:
1. The Basic Right Of Survival.
A child dies a preventable death in Darfur about every fifteen
seconds. By focusing on immunization of Diphtheria, Measles,
Pertussis, Polio, Tetanus, and Tuberculosis we can prevent a
majority of these deaths.
2. By educating and testing these children for and about HIV and
AIDS we can begin to take the first steps to defeat this particular
epidemic that plagues this region.
3. The Basic Right Of Education.
By providing adequate education to both boys and girls we
create an environment that allows for safe growth and
development.
4. Protection from violence, exploitation, and abuse.
5. Nutrition
6. Water and Sanitation.
As you can imagine that this project has already costs what we had raised.
How can you help?
By sponsoring one of the first thirty children to The Sanctuary.
It cost us $3 a day to provide these basic needs to these children.
Please sponsor a child for one year.(THIS IS A $91.25 A MONTH PAYMENT)
