Michel, right on the money, unfortunately. While I do appreciate Mr. Powell for his military service, he did also do a great disservice for the military by allowing Cheney and Rumsfeld to railroad him into lying us into Iraq. The cost and toll in blood and treasure is insurmountable and has lead to the rise of ISIS and even more dangerous ideologies in what is the powder keg of the Middle East. His apology, I'm sure, did resolve his conscious somewhat, but I can't imagine how he must have felt about the monstrosity of his decision initially. May he rest in peace.

Funny how FAUX news wants us all to focus on anti-vax paranoia and sweep Colin Powell's lies about the Iraq war under the rug since that is what made them a shit-ton of money.
