I am of the opinion that Bush made a mistake in not listening enough
to Colin Powell instead of Donald Rumsfeld. Their roles should have
been reversed with Colin Powell as Sec of Defense and Rumsfeld as Sec
of State. I think Powell's military background, including being the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff better qualified him to advise
Bush about going to war. Powell was cautious about it. Rumsfeld was
governed by his massive ego.


Powell was the guy who pushed GHWB to cut off the war in 1991 and not
go to Baghdad.
Our big mistake was not just going home then.


Bull****. Israel would have finished it and it would have been a lot
more of a mess and probably cost us more lives. Powell and GHWB were
right. Our big mistake was electing GWB.
