"NOYB" wrote in ink.net: So any President who "starts" a war is wrong? If the war is based on falsehood or illegality. So which wars were based on falsehood and illegality? And *specifically* what were the falsehoods and illegalities? Any that aren't declared by Congress are illegal. Read your Constitution. As far as falsehoods, the Colin Powell report to the UN is a good start... Holy crap........and I thought this all ended after Bush overwhelmingly won re-election. It was also investigated by a bipartisan committee. The left now wants to do it all over again. Sort of like the movie Groundhog Day.........waking up every day to the same old crap and BS coming from the left. 1. I'm not on the left. If you'd been paying attention, you'd realize that I know Krause is just as stupid as you are. 2. Why do you think Powell left? Because his beliefs lie more in line with the lying pacifists at the CIA and State Dept. Colin Powell a pacifist? I'd like to see a quote from one member of the armed forces with a rank higher than "Latrine" making THAT charge. Post it right here, he who demands attribution: You don't need a quote. A quote is nothing more than someone else's opinion (of which, I can find plenty calling Powell a pacifist if you insist). Instead, I'll give you facts: Remember the 1983 bombings of the US Embassy and US Marine barracks in Beirut by Hezbollah? The senior military assistant to Defense Secretary Weinberger was none other than Colin Powell...who lobbied Reagan *not* to retaliate. Was Hezbollah ever punished for that? Fast forward to 1990, when US forces were gathering in the Middle East to protect the Saudi Oil fields and toss Saddam out of Kuwait. Do you remember who was pleading with the President for "economic sanctions to have a chance to work"? I do. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff... Colin Powell. But since you were asking for the name of a member of the armed forces who might consider Powell a pacifist, how about Schwarzkopf? He called Powell a "political general", and pretty much stated that is was Powell who convinced Bush 41 to not completely destroy the Iraqi military (specifically the Republican Guard) as it retreated. |
