Colin Powell 17 Years After Lying Us Into War: ‘Boo Hoo. It’s Someone Else’s Fault’

by | Jul 20, 2020

Will this most political general’s self-promotional PR tour ever end?

You are a guilty war criminal, Colin. It’s not just your obituary. Your gravestone will say so too. And for all of the rest of human history you will be known as the useful tool who knew he was lying but went ahead anyway, killed one million people, turned the entire Middle East upside down and got the entire-damn 21st Century off to a bad start. Forever. Always. Guilty.

So go ahead and shut the hell up right now and just be thankful that the “law” in this country doesn’t apply to you and you get to die near family in your giant mansion instead of in a Supermax cell where you belong.

Now, go back to ignoring all these veteran suicides you caused and pretending they are someone else’s fault too.
