Powell clarifies America's position on preemption.

Powell argues that "our strategy is not defined by pre-emption".

"Above all, the President's strategy is one of partnerships that strongly affirms the vital role of NATO and other US alliances - including the UN," he writes.

At the same time, the secretary of state admits unspecified mistakes committed during Bush's first three years in office.

"It would be churlish to claim that the Bush administration's foreign policy has been error-free from the start," he points out.

"But we have always pursued the enlightened self-interest of the American people, and in our purposes and our principles there are no mistakes."   article

Whew. They finally quit lying.

But was he supposed to admit that there had been policy errors? I mean especially since the head churl seems to keep saying that there weren't?

....hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
