Powell

Salon via Digby:

Secretary of State Colin Powell has privately confided to friends in recent weeks that the Iraqi insurgents are winning the war, according to Newsweek. The insurgents have succeeded in infiltrating Iraqi forces "from top to bottom," a senior Iraqi official tells Newsweek in tomorrow’s issue of the magazine, "from decision making to the lower levels."

[. . .]


Any respect I had for Powell went bye-bye a long time ago. He knew what invading Iraq would entail and he knew the White House lost any grip they had on reality when they decided on war. He should have resigned when he realized he was being played for an Uncle Tom stepandfetchit by President No Nuts.
