The left has dragged out aging (83 years) Colin Powell, South Bronx boy who made it in the US Army and politics, rising to Secretary of State for George Bush (the kid) but who always seemed to be elevated to positions just above his punching ability. Powell’s ties to the disastrous Bush (junior) and the evil Cheney administration are legend. But Powell’s critique of the present administration has has no validity. Powell would be wise to keep criticisms of the Trump team to himself, lest we are reminded again about his lies to the American people regarding “WMD which caused so much loss of life and treasure for the USA. In fact, with his history of duplicity how this man has the chutzpah to criticize Trump at all—is itself a remarkable feat.
Recall that it was Powell who in his now infamous lie-filled, plagiarized speech to the UN Security Council of February 2003 laid out “proof” of Iraq’s biological and nuclear arms—WMD. All his proofs were of course made up out of thin air. It was Powell’s speech —supposedly from a senior member of the Bush cabinet with gravitas, honesty and courage to tell the truth—(all scarce in the the young Bush character) that helped turn the tide for invasion and the disastrous Bush-Cheney IraqWar. Those events of the Bush years were ones which truly needed Congressional oversight and criminal investigation and yes impeachment. But the Democrats of those days were silent and compliant with the truly dumb and evil team of Bush/Cheney. The weak Democrats all voted for Bush’s disastrous war.
At the UN, Powell knew the truth —there were no weapons of mass destruction—but did not have the courage to stand up against the kid Bush . He “took a knee” for Bush junior’s death dealing war
plans and caused the demise of untold thousands and the desolation of wide swaths of the Middle East for which we are still paying dearly. . It was and remains the worst foreign policy decision ever made—or near enough to it. (And there were so many.)
How Powell could show his face in public after his long ago UN performance says something about Powell’s understanding of the US public ability to absorb and then forget lies and the hypocrisy of the left who set him to this task
The left. so consumed and debilitated by “Trump derangement syndrome”’is clearly and hypocritically attempting to refurbish and recast this truly “bad playe of the past into a paragon of virtue so as to use him as a cudgel against the President.
They hypocritically forget history.
