“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” — Colin Powell
(I had a lot more respect for the man prior to February 5th, 2003, when he – essentially – lied to the U.N. Security Council. The so-called satellite photo “evidence” of Saddam’s “Weapons of Mass Destruction” were grainy, 1960’s era – Cuban Missile Crisis – “quality”. Our satellite capabilities in 2002 and 2003 were far superior to what he presented as “proof”. And, that’s not even the half of it. The man was much too smart to have been duped into doing this, so he must have been complicit in the deception that resulted in an illegal invasion and lengthy occupation of a sovereign nation, that resulted in so much death all around, and blew up our National Debt. How soon we forget. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

I had high hopes for General Powell, however, I think he fell in with a gang of thugs and didn’t know how to get out without being trashed.
Remember Mafia rules: You can be fired, you can go to jail, or you can be executed; but, you can’t quit.
Yep, lwc. They definitely GOT to him! Too bad. — YUR
