Colin Powell: Why does he look guilty and miserable?

Have any of you noticed that since the Iraq War started, Colin Powell's face looks guilty and miserable?

His biography documentary on A&E (Colin Powell: A Soldier's Campaign) portrays him as a man of honor, principle and integrity. If that's true, then is he suffering from the GUILT of knowing that he has been serving evil forces that preside in the chain of command above him? Does he feel guilty and distressed because he knows that his superiors are part of a criminal syndicate network that's hijacked the US government and started wars and sacrificed American lives for profit, power and conquest?

Could that be eating him up? Is that why his face looks so guilty and miserable nowadays? Why doesn't he just quit?

Speaking of the Iraq War, during the run-up to it, Colin Powell went on TV and explained to the American people why Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and why we had to invade Iraq. Why would a man of "honor, principle and integrity" (according to the A&E biography) deceive the American people like that? Did he have a choice? Does he feel guilty for lying to the American people on TV, and campaigning for a fraudulent war that cost many lives?

What do you all think of Colin Powell anyway? Is he a role model for black people? Or is he a sell out? Is he really a man of honor, principle and integrity, as the A&E program claimed?

Below are images of guilt on Colin Powell's face.

pxxxxk is a war criminal pure and simple hang him high

So this must be your agenda Euro as you basically made the same post about Bush.
Thats cool, obviously you can post whatever you want here but at least try and mix it up a bit.

As for your post on Powell.. Stress, tension, getting older, inset any one of 10000 other natural things will age someone.

In the picture he looks like he is trying to remember the lies he told years back..

...watching his country go down the tubes thanks to the incompetence of the administration he twice defied his party to support.
He even hinted recently at Republican racism. The man made four stars and Sec State working for those racist Republicans. imagine how far he'd have gone working for the progressive Democrats.

I remember his little speech in the UN where he held up a little vial of something... I thought whats that? Is that the proof? I can't remember him showing any proof of what that was supposed to be, just that it seemed like a prop. Now we know it was. Do you think he knew too --- at the time?

"The Proof"

Maybe he's just extremely physically and mentally exhausted from spending and entire lifetime in constantly demanding, high-stress and time-consuming career/positions of extreme responsibility? I don't know...just a thought.

Not seeing any guilt in that picture?
looks more like bewilderment or confusion . Maybe he mistook the cameraman for a truck carrying WMD's?
Or just cant remember where he put his reading glasses. They are up there Col ^

and in the end it turns out he was the affirmative action poster boy for the republicans in power who was used to feed lies to everyone on the world stage at the UN about Iraq having mobile trains producing nerve gas & Iraqi false links to a non existent terrorist group, al qaeda, whose founder & leader Bin laden was never even wanted by the FBI for 911 and even the Vice President said "we've never made the case" he was wanted which resulted in hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians dead & a perpetual war on an ideal, terrorism, on USA soil stripping away the freedoms he swore to protect from his fellow citizens which now can be treated as enemy combatants, imprisoned or killed through military drones strikes without due process or the Geneva conventions rules of war..

yeah, thanks for the job as a foolish tool.

no wonder he is depressed.

EVERYBODY thought Saddam had WMDs. The Russians warned us. Europe thought it. Democrat senators stated it was common knowledge. Iraqi generals were so sure they had stuff they were asking about situational useage. and there were lots of stories at the time that they were trucked out to...Syria. maybe that's one reason there's so much hesitation to get into that mess?
it wouldn't be hard to hide, say, a truckload of WMDs in a country the size of California.

Saddam's WMDs were considered common knowledge. Gen Powell didn't need to do a whole lot of convinvin'.

can't believe we're still having this debate.
