[Marxism] Alma Powell says Bush used Colin to sell war

[Fred Feldman]

Yes, yes, Powell is not my hero, either. Also former CIA chief George
Tenet is telling people he wishes he had never taken the Medal of
Freedom from Bush as he was being escorted out the door.  And Rumsfeld
is trying to buy off the generals by allowing the army a budget
increase.  The bush string may be running very thin.

Powell's wife says Bush used him
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell's
wife says in a new biography that President George W. Bush used her
husband to sell the war in Iraq. 
I
n "Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell" by Karen DeYoung of the Washington
Post, Alma Powell describes the administration's treatment of her
husband as callous. 
"They needed him to do it because they knew people would believe him,"
Mrs. Powell said. 
Powell, the first black secretary of state, gave DeYoung six interviews
for the book. He told her he never considered resigning even though he
had disagreements with the president about the 2003 invasion. 
"I supported him," he said. "I can't go on long patrol and then say,
'Never mind.'"
