Colin knocks Condi off her talking points.
He was Good Soldier Powell in the White House but now Colin is looking to clean up his reputation. As a result he gave an interview in London, critical of the war planning, that aired in time to be thrown at Condi during her Sunday appearences.
He said he advised Bush before the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003 to send more troops to Iraq, but that the administration did not follow his recommendation.And in grand Bushovik fashion, the Wicked Bitch of the West tries to put the blame on the military. You gotta love the way them Bushoviks love up the troops every chance they get.
Rice, Bush's national security adviser during the run-up to the war, neither confirmed nor denied Powell's assertion. But she spent a good part of her appearances on three Sunday talk shows reaching into the past to defend the White House, which is trying to highlight the positive to a public increasingly skeptical in this election year of the president's conduct of the war and concerned about the large U.S. military presence.
"I don't remember specifically what Secretary Powell may be referring to, but I'm quite certain that there were lots of discussions about how best to fulfill the mission that we went into Iraq," Rice said.
"And I have no doubt that all of this was taken into consideration. But that when it came down to it, the president listens to his military advisers who were to execute the plan," she told CNN's "Late Edition."
