Nawww Wilkerson didn't have an opinion - he said it was all Powell's opinion. Last time I read ole Colin's book - I didn't get the feeling he needed ANYONE - especially an assistant to speak for him on anything.

If Powell thinks these things (which he well might) he will / would say them. He may altho feel that this is the wrong time to try to cause chaos and undermine a necessary military tatic. The Middle East has been a well stratigiized chess game for years - I think we are just seein the "check mate" move.

Yeah it's messy - but war is never nice. Want a nice war?.....go rent a video game. Ya know the term "loose lips sink ships" could be more true now than during WW II.

Colin Powell is a man of integrity - He wouldn't be useing some one else as a mouthpiece.

Lastly it's not just us US citizens that hear this blasting of our sitting president. I know as a voter - when the Democrats are in power I show respect - it's my duty to those who are serving. The democrats really seem to appreciate that - too bad they don't do the same thing.

Dems and Reps all get their turn - it's called voting and the electoral college - no ONE party has the answer - Hitler tried that - it wasn't real popular.........So show some respect and wait your turn.......it'll come back to the Democrats then everyone will be mad at them and the Republicans will head it up again. It's called "democracy" for a reason. We should do a better job at respecting it - both Rep and Dem........and Ind for those who have a wishy washy view on politics like me.........
