...General Powell should have done that twenty years ago. ...he puts his sterling reputation, as a citizen and a soldier, on the line to lie to the world about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (that STILL haven't been found) for his heinous republican colleagues... ...(and since it's been revealed that he suspected there were no such weapons to be found in Iraq before he ever went to the United Nations to say that there were, he has to be held responsible for his part in that)... ...and after he goes on national television a year later to announce how much of a mistake he had made, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld and whoever else (who weren't fit enough themselves to even shine his boots) decides to assign General Powell as ambassador to IDontGiveAF@ckAboutYou-istan, or some god-forsaken exile someplace far beneath his stature and station, because they felt like he had "betrayed" them... ...the irony? One of many I'm sure, but the one foremost in my mind right now? ...even after all this time...he's probably still more respected and well-regarded than even the president he "sacrificed" himself for... Honorable men and women are always honorable men and women.
I've been saying that about most Republicans and Christians for a while. They may be pro birth, but they in no way are pro life.
