All the rats are jumping ship: Colin Powell says he tried to stop the war

Colin Powell who in February 2001 said that Saddam had been crippled by sanctions and was no threat to the United States (as I mentioned in the introduction of my book) and made “made the case for the war” two years later during a speech at the UN Security Council in February 2003, now says he never thought a war was necessary.Powell knew there were no WMDs in Iraq long before the war was launched. He then went before the UN Security Council to make the case for war. Who cares if he spent 2.5 hours trying to convince the president not to launch the war. He lied to the world.More than 3,000 American troops have been killed and more than 500.000 Iraqis are dead. Powell expects us to feel sorry for him because he spent 2.5 hours trying to convince Bush not to go to war? Sorry, he gets no sympathy from me. I’m angry as hell.Let’s hold Powell and the others accountable. Their hands are covered in the blood of innocent people.
