2. Why do you think Powell left?
Because his beliefs lie more in line with the lying pacifists at
the CIA and State Dept. But as a loyal soldier, he was torn
between his loyalty to the CiC, and his own personal beliefs
against war no matter the circumstances.
Wrong. Powell quit because he was tired of lying for the
Bush-shippers.
He was tired of the lying alright. Tired of getting caught between
the lies coming from State and CIA, and his allegiance to the
President.

Not to worry though. With Rice cleaning up State, and Goss cleaning
up the CIA, things should be running a whole lot smoother in the
future.



You really are delusional.

By the way, Powell's loyalty is to the Constitution of the United
States and therefore to the people of the United States. The oath of
office states:

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution
of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I
will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this
obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of
evasion, and I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the
office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

There isn't one word in there about loyalty to the President or the
necessity of lying for a President.

You skipped civics, eh?
He's a soldier first and foremost. His loyalty is to the
CiC...particularly in time of war.



No, you're absolutely, completely wrong. Reread the oath. The first
loyalty of the Secretary of State is to the people of the United States.
There is NO oath of loyalty to the President.

This is an important point, and you don't get it.

In actuality, he stopped being a soldier when he became Sec. of State.
But in practicality, he was a lifelong soldier.

He presented the evidence that was given to him by intel...just as Bush
did. Since it's your opinion that Bush lied, do you believe that Powell
lied too?



Powell has apologized for misleading statements.

I thought he apologized for being a woman.
