Colin Powell must be really pissed off

Because Lawrence Wilkerson is doing a lot of talking, all of it bad for the Bushoviks. In his latest remarks to the AP, he gets right to the point.
In an Associated Press interview, former Powell chief of staff Lawrence Wilkerson also said President Bush was "too aloof, too distant from the details" of postwar planning. Underlings exploited Bush's detachment and made poor decisions, Wilkerson said.

Wilkerson blamed Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and like-minded aides. He said Cheney must have sincerely believed that Iraq could be a spawning ground for new terror assaults, because "otherwise I have to declare him a moron, an idiot or a nefarious bastard."
I would say the first two are just cruel attacks on Big Dick but the third is spot on.

Oh, and Wilkerson says he is not speaking for Colin Powell. Which is probably why he says this:
He said Powell now generally believes it was a good idea to remove Saddam from power but may not agree with either the timing or execution of the war.

"What he seems to be saying to me now is the president failed to discipline the process the way he should have and that the president is ultimately responsible for this whole mess," Wilkerson said.
I'm starting to see some brake lights on the buck. It has to stop somewhere.
