In order of importance...
Poor Colin. He ranks lower than the prince of Saudi Arabia. If I were him, I'd resign in protest - that is, if I had any integrity or dignity left. Powell sold what little he had when he went to the UN.
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell learned about President George W. Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq after Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States had already been informed, journalist Bob Woodward said on Sunday.Woodward, author of a new book entitled, "Plan of Attack," said in a CBS' "60 Minutes" interview that Bush told national security leader Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld first about his decision to go to war in January 2003.
"He told Condi Rice. He told Rumsfeld. He knew Cheney wanted to do this. And they realized they haven't told Colin Powell," said Woodward, who described Powell as being opposed to the war.
But before Bush called Powell to the Oval Office, he gave Cheney and Rumsfeld permission to inform Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan about his decision for war. They even showed him a top-secret map of the war plan, Woodward said.
"They describe in detail the war plan for Bandar," he told "60 Minutes" reporter Mike Wallace.

For every one of you right wingers who say the Saudis don't make our policy or hold unelected office in this country...
Bandar Bush knew before the SECRETARY OF STATE about our war plans with Iraq
My ulcer is kicking in again!

Looks like Harry Belefonte was right. Do you think that Colin's Christmas grab bag gift from the White House was a shoe shine box?

Adaplant, that was the funniest thing I've seen in a week.
Everyone should have figured out by now that Condi and Colin were stooges put in by the cynical neo-cons because they thought no one would go after them since they were black, no matter what the neo-cons told them to do. And that was right (see Novakula's insinuation that Richard Clarke was a racist that hated Condi).
