Speaking in Pittsburgh last night, Colin Powell said it was time to start bringing the troops home. Under questioning from the press, he said that he regretted that his UN speech endorsing the preemptive invasion of Iraq included incorrect information provided by the CIA.
Powell says he now regrets that speech saying he was given bad information from the CIA. "I regret it. I regret the fact that a lot of the information that I presented that day turned out to be incorrect," he said.Not good enough. Powell bears personal responsibility for pimping intelligence he knew was cooked, doubtful, and not anywhere near enough to support the first preemptive war in United States history. Laying the blame on the CIA is a punk's way out.
