Still an Asshole

And still a liar.

“I, of course, regret the U.N. speech that I gave,” he said, “which became the prominent presentation of our case. But we thought it was correct at the time. The President thought it was correct. Congress thought it was correct.”

In a February 2003 speech to the U.N. Security Council, Powell alleged that Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction from inspectors and refusing to disarm. However, after the U.S. had invaded Iraq and overthrown Saddam Hussein, no weapons of mass destruction were found.

“Of course I regret that a lot of it turned out be wrong,” he said.

  Raw Story

"Turned out to be" wrong.

The President may have thought it was correct because the President was an idiot. Congress may have thought it was correct, because nobody tells Congress anything, which is apparently how they like it, and they were all too eager to abdicate their responsibility. But the record shows that Colin Powell knew it was bullshit when he said it.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
