Colin Powell: A Failed Opportunist
But there is another, less flattering explanation that fits with the evidence of Powell’s life story: that the outgoing secretary of state has always been an opportunist who consistently put his career and personal status ahead of America’s best interests.
I have nothing. Nice to say. The article should speak for us as a nation unified behind good morals and a just people for the world we are domineering over for the ruling classes benefits.

I'm fairly sure BAR will have comments on Powell also, which I'll post this weekend. I specifically posted this as the new news it is because of the date it was written by the late Robert Parry in 2004. With hopes people who come to read it will get a sense of its relevance to the group narrative as the MSCM will, and have been already, as Robert Parry correctly exposed, glorify a man that had "consistently put his career and personal status ahead of America’s best interests." As scores of people around the world have been murdered due to his illegal and unethical actions. Billions of our tax dollars spent on these crimes and manufactured wars. In regards to the middle east, the birth of what we have created over the past 20 years beginning with the Iran -- Iraq war, which will be a lost knowledge to most as the Iraq hearing will be the primary narrative the MSCM will use to cover his earlier crimes. No one will expose Powell to the likes Parry has spelled out. He'll be a glorified monster.
Is it correct to describe & excuse Powell's behaviour as simply another case of Uncle Tom syndrome or is that a slur on BLM? Time will reveal
Even down here in backwater Australia, Colin Powell's name will be long linked to the gross lie of WMD. - Just another Yank who was allowed to fuck the people of the world in order to promote US piracy thus making the whole nation guilty of crimes against humanity.
