Excuse me, But It Is Time Colon Powell Stepped Up To The Microphone & Tell What He Knows...

[Blackhatjack]

... and not leave it to Lawrence Wilkerson to put the truth out there.

Powell will come out of this much better if he will just come clean on what he knows, admit he made mistakes, and ask forgiveness --As He Becomes Part Of The Remedy, Instead Of Part Of The Silent Witness Group.

IMHO Powell was screwed over by Bush, and Powell just took it... and he owes it to his country to speak out NOW and not after Bush leaves office.

1. Powell betrayed the troops.

His continued silence puts more blood on his hands.

[Horse with no Name]

2. Don't hold your breath

His military and civilian record would be shattered--he isn't going to do that. Instead, he is going to cowardly HOPE AND PRAY that the truth doesn't come out in his lifetime.

[BlueManDude]

3. Powell is nothing but a creation of the DC/GOP myth-making apparattus.

You think he'd actually "come clean" about his complicity in this tragedy?

[Virginia Dare]

5. He's always been a Bush apologist, going back to poppy..n/t

[Virginia Dare]

4. Agreed, I have no respect for him, and I never will again..n/t

[H2O Man]

6. It will never happen.

Powell is "one of them," and one with them. He has betrayed this country; betrayed the public that once trusted and admired him; and betrayed the Constitution he was supposed to uphold. A system and/or individual can only produce that which it is part of, or what is part of it. Turtles will give birth to chickens before Powell will do the right thing.

weird dupe

7. He had his moment and failed miserably

If he didn't speak the truth when it mattered before the war I doubt that he would have the integrity to say anything now. He's a coward, and his inaction has led to many, many deaths. I hope that history records him as such. I am definitely not waiting for Powell to come to the rescue.

8. His silence for this long tells me everything I need to know about him.

[Auggie]

9. Ever the loyal soldier to his commander-in-chief...

[Blackhatjack]

10. I hope the posters replying to this OP are wrong, because it would be helpful if he comes forward ..

I think Powell may very well know that this will all end in a huge disaster.

If that is the case, he may be considering an attempt to put space between himself and the coming implosion, by telling the truth about what he knows. A novel concept, but welcome all the same.

[Annces]

11. He is part of Bush team

[AndyA]

12. Most likely, we'll have to wait for his book.

After seeing all the money Tenet is making with his too-late tell-all, Powell might be thinking he needs a bit more for his nest egg.

[conscious evolution]

13. Let him hang with the rest.

He is a traitor to this country and a disgrace to the armed forces.
If he wants to spill his guts,fine.Just don't expect me to forgive him for what he has done.

[Beelzebud]

14. Powell is a company man, til the bitter fucking end.

[The_Casual_Observer]

15. He'd have to admit that he is either stupid or that he lied.

Not too appetizing a choice, better to just say nothing, right?

[Disturbed]

17. Powell will stay silent because he is waiting to be

appointed as Pres. of the World Bank. He was slated for that job but was passed over because he started to become weasly in the last few months as Sec of State. Now that he has proven that he will stay loyal to the Busholini Regime he will get the nod.

16. Powell wants to have it both ways. Wilkerson wants to protect our troops. nt

[Snotcicles]

18. Don't expect squat from that POS or his POS son. nt

19. Who would believe him? n/t
