Idk man. I feel the same as you. First black Secretary of State, desert storm, but then operation iraqi liberation… signed off on the claims of wmds when it was bullshit. At least he didn’t compromise for his party in 2016.I don't know how to feel about Colin Powell. Was he a good guy, wasabi?
He's one of the biggest warmongers of the post WWII era. Pure and simple, he was scum. He has just as much blood an his hands from the Iraq War(s) as the Bushes, Clintons, Biden, and Cheney.I don't know how to feel about Colin Powell. Was he a good guy, wasabi?
He had blood cancer too, I'm sure that was a factor in the COVID getting him despite the vaccine.RIP. Scary that you can be vaccinated and still get and die from it. 99% of the residents at work got the vaccine, and 77% of us employees, but, outbreak disaster is still a threat and will remain so for the foreseeable future...

Any other health issue , or covid claimed all the credit . It’s seem they are giving a lot of the credit to covid with serious health conditions , like the person had cancer for years, but the dead is covid related so they get added to the covid stat numbers .
Also another thing that I was wondering the other day, grocery /retail store offering cash backs on debitcard payment when you paid at the tilt , does that count towards their total revenue, when they reports to the numbers at the end of the year .
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing here, I don't know anything about it, but I'm wondering if you think these people are inherently bad people, or trying to do the right thing but getting it wrong, or something else?He's one of the biggest warmongers of the post WWII era.

Horrible people who intentionally lied us into these wars to enrich themselves and the interests that got them elected.I'm not agreeing or disagreeing here, I don't know anything about it, but I'm wondering if you think these people are inherently bad people, or trying to do the right thing but getting it wrong, or something else?
Fair enoughHorrible people who intentionally lied us into these wars to enrich themselves and the interests that got them elected.
Pinball tables in grocery stores pay out on tilts? Why didn't GregN ever tell us about that? I feel betrayed, Greg!when you paid at the tilt , does that count towards their total revenue, when they reports to the numbers at the end of the year .
But he didn't like Trump so we should give him a pass on the hundreds of thousands of deaths and countries destroyed.Horrible people who intentionally lied us into these wars to enrich themselves and the interests that got them elected.
I guess I've given him more benefit of the doubt based on his answers in interviews since. I don't think he intentionally misled people on selling the Iraq war. He was used to help sell it, and he should have been more careful. He expressed regret since. I saw him as a generally honorable and smart person.Horrible people who intentionally lied us into these wars to enrich themselves and the interests that got them elected.
Then you're incredibly naive.I guess I've given him more benefit of the doubt based on his answers in interviews since. I don't think he intentionally misled people on selling the Iraq war.

He didn't come across as a warmonger. That one event did not seem to fit with the rest of his career, which is why I gave the benefit of the doubt on what he says.Then you're incredibly naive.

I'd echo this.... Real mixed bag. (negative overall imo, because he bought into a lie and signed off on spending billions of dollars turning brown kids into skeletons.)Idk man.
