Cry Me a River

Colin Powell's ex-chief of staff said Thursday the former Secretary of State was lied to and manipulated by Vice President Dick Cheney into justifying the US invasion of Iraq.

  Raw Story

Colin Powell knew damned well what he was doing. He squawked about it at the time, but he did it, nonetheless. He could have ‘retired’ honorably without doing it like several other generals did. But he didn’t have the honor.

Which makes him perhaps more responsible than Cheney and Bush, because, considering his position and influence at the time, had he been honorable and quit in protest of the lies instead of just grumping about it behind closed doors, the war may very well have never happened.
