13. Is he blaming lower level employees?
Wasn't it reported that he didn't want to present the "garbage" to the UN?

12. But it might affect some of Bush's remaining support...
it's different to some that it's coming from his lips. Of course, we knew it already.

17. How nice!! The Powell's and the Bush's
have a lovely dinner together recently. GAG!! He is a traitor to his country and his race. He can not say anything bad about Bush ever which means he does not tell the truth about anything.

That's good news.

20. I am glad I watched the dateline special on NBC instead
of this crap. At least they were honest about the federal response to the hurricane disaster.

27. That was the network plan. Cut into viewership that would potentially
hurt the Chimp.

Rove still has cards to play.

23. Okay then, like he isn't even very good at reading tea leaves
Trying to save his already soiled reputation.........like who would of guessed. He says "I didn't know?", that should be an indication he is not even qualified then......

He is such a psychopathic liar that he thinks he has to tell more lies so he can tell what he feels might be his truth........retired government servant desires recognition, how nice :puke:

24. That was pretty smart...
He admitted he was wrong and feels bad for peddling lies... awww, so sad. This "heart-felt" and emotional admission proves "HE" had nothing to do with the lies, it was some nameless person who he was quoting. That poor ex-national security advisor was duped, how tragic. He of course doesn't understand how intelligence is gathered and he has no freinds who'll tell him the truth, he's just a patsy. But, this interview was pretty smart. He can sense the change in the winds from the people and he wants to get out from underneath the hammer as it drops on the administration. He didn't betray his master but he also didn't get stuck with the perception of guilt. Pretty smart there Colon. Isn't it ironic that they'd use Colon to pass off the line of shit... and you can't blame the asshole for doing his job.

28.  He is disturbing. A nearly psychotic quality of credulousness..
Acknowledges that the Iraq misinformation mission was " a black mark" Acknowledges also that it doesn't bother him. Indeed, nothing seems to bother him.

The gullibility and certitude is compounded by military culture... which Powell embraced big-time as a way out of the So. Bronx. Puts one in mind of Werner Von Braun ( "As long as it goes up who cares where it comes down?").

Most bizarre note in interview: Powell's recent dinner with Bush and Laura.... and the surreal manner in which Powell described it. Jesus, what a foursome that must have been.
