Were trailers full of hot air?

I *do* believe that SH had more than ample warning about an impending US attack, and it certainly wasn't coming from Bush's left wing detractors. Again, you're probably right, but you have to also consider that all the time we wasted, waltzing with the U.N., and Hans Blix, and the rest of the floor show, gave Saddam even more time to move his "stuff". Right. We waltzed. Keep in mind that our own secretary of state recommended waltzing for a couple of months. He could not have done this without your president's permission. If you will recall, it was at that point when Colin Powell, seemed to be at odds with the rest of the administration. Most of the others were in favor of war at that point. Powell, had been the lone holdout for additional diplomatic efforts. While he may have earned a few brownie points, it will be a matter of history, whether his delay may have cost us, in credibility, with those who must find that elusive "smoking gun". Dave So, was Colin Powell thinking for himself (which is why I'd vote for him if I could), or was he influenced by the horrible liberals that everyone keeps whining about here? Be sure to document your response, since I assume you don't have Mr. Powell over to the house for dinner very often. You've got me all wrong on that one. I admire Powell, and would love to see him run for president. But the events, as I stated them, are pretty much true. I don't know if Powell walked a little bowlegged afterward or not, but he seems to be back in the fold. Dave |
