Powell also said that Iraq is indeed in a civil war and that the solution is an Iraqi political solution, not U.S. military force. Considering that he has more military experience in his toenail than Bush and Cheney combined, maybe it's time someone actually listened to him.

Who elected this clown anyway?

Originally Posted By jonvn Good, you can claim online you voted for him. Meanwhile, people don't admit to it in person.
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA <Funny Saddam Hussein had twelve years to think about that too.> Right. But Suddam Hussein was an idiotic dictator with no care for human life. It takes more time to convince idiots to do something.

Disgusting.
