    what you're saying applies to a soldier. it's very true from a private up to a colonel, maybe higher

    but powell was the secretary of state - he wasnt even a soldier in this scenerio

    does the secretary of state, a LEADER, have the responsibility or right to knowingly mislead us into war? -> NO!

    all below have the responsibility to follow orders under *the assumption* that those at the top have acted morally

    a secretary of state (a civilian role) NEVER has the right to midlead the public into war, not ever - i'd go as far as to call it treason

    powell failed them completely

  4. In July 2005, Powell joined Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, a well-known Silicon Valley venture capital firm, with the title of "strategic limited partner."

    i bet Powell finds 'conclusive evidence of a shortage of tech workers', requiring an increase in H-1bs - lol

    his proven fact fabrication skills will go far out there

    Probabbly find him at verizon or some HF I imagine.

  8. the media elevated Powell to a status he did not deserve. it turns out that he was of marginal intelligence and lacked real courage. a truly sad story in mainstream media social engineering.
