Prior to his tenure as Secretary of State for President Bush I really had respect for Colin Powell.  He seemed like an intelligent man who could make decisions, even the tough ones, without letting politics rule the day.  Well, it turned out I was utterly and completely wrong about Colin Powell.  He ended up being weak and downright worthless.  Sure, I get that he was just one man in the middle of an administration that was totally allied against him, but that means he should fought to be heard or resigned rather than perpetrate a lie in order to get President Bush political approval to take our country into the disaster that has become Iraq.  Since leaving the Bush administration, Powell has done nothing but bitch and moan about what his former boss has done and continues to do.  I, for one, am sick of it.  He had his chance, now he just sounds like a hypocrite.
