Powell Aide Says Case for War a 'Hoax'

PBS recently aired an interview with Col. Lawrence B. Wilkerson (Ret), Chief of Staff at the Department of State from Aug 2002 - January 2005, addressing some of the skepticism surrounding the pre-war claims made by the Bush administration. Wilkerson claims in no uncertain terms that he "participated in a hoax on the American people, the international community and the United Nations Security Council." This is not the first time that Wilkerson has spoken out against the administration and intelligence community.

Then on the left we have people like Murtha and Kennedy screaming that we should leave, RIGHT NOW GODDAMNIT!!! That's just insane, we can't leave the Iraqis in a worse position than we found them. That would be like walking away from a car stuck underwater with a woman trapped inside. I mean, what kind of man does that?

no it's more like pushing the car, with the woman in it, off a pier then jumping in to save the woman. And then afterwards claiming you shouldn't be responsible or charged for attempted murder for pushing her in because you jumped in to try and save her.

communist irony

ironic that that he was popular with communists, since they are the biggest racket of all, when defined as what the general population thinks is not what is really going on, and that the great communist regimes have slaughtered uncountable lives to give the small, "inside" group power.
