People need to change the sources their learning from. I was military intelligence during this time and there WERE WMDs in Iraq, don't kid yourself. Did we find all of them? Was it just used as pretense for ulterior motives? Maybe, but they were there, we did find some and there were likely more that were moved from the known locations before we checked.

Ofcourse the US knew Iraq had chemical weapons, coz they sold it to them back in the 80s.

Saddam Hussein didn’t have a weapons of mass destruction program when the US invaded Iraq in 2003. But the country, in many of the same places now controlled by ISIL, had scattered stockpiles of chemical weapons dating back to the Iran-Iraq war. The US has never revealed the full extent of these stockpiles—in part because they were made with US designs and assistance.

Artillery shells with mustard gas would seem to say that they (the Iraqis) did, indeed, have WMD's...

Reports from the people they used the WMD's on would seem to indicate the same.

Known quite a few Kurdish who have told me the truth about the Iraqis and the region. One group, this going back to early 2000's just about the Iraq War 2 told me we have it all wrong when it comes to the region.

They said Kurds have no problem at all with the Iranians, they treaty minorities with respect, a decent people in the region.

They did not say the same about Arabs, specifically Iraqi Arabs of Sunni leaning. One guy told me how the Arabs had murdered everyone in a village near him. They were treated like dirt by the then ruling Arabs. Another told me how the Iraqi security forced had rounded up his father and dozens of other innocent Kurds, forced them into a shipping container and set it on fire killing everyone inside. He said the Saddam regime did this to Kurdish men for fun.

Holy smoke how horrendous a regime was that of Saddam Hussein. If Colin Powell assisted in ridding the region of this monster and the associated regime then hats off to him

Fox news's John Roberts is now getting the stink eye about Powell being vaccinated and contracted anyways:

Fox’s John Roberts Slammed For Deleted Tweet Claiming Death of Colin Powell Raises ‘New Concerns’ About Vaccines

Fox News anchor John Roberts faced intense criticism for claiming on Monday that Colin Powell’s raises “new questions” about the coronavirus vaccines.

“He was fully vaccinated,” the family noted. Powell’s death prompted an outpouring of grief throughout the world of politics and the media. Roberts, however, took note of the fact that Powell had been vaccinated, in a tweet that has since been deleted.

“The fact that Colin Powell died from a breakthrough COVID infection raises new concerns about how effective vaccines are long-term.”

Roberts’ tweet made no mention of the fact that Powell suffered from multiple myeloma, a kind of blood cancer that weakens the immune system. It also made no mention of the fact that coronavirus vaccines have never been said to be 100% effective in preventing death, particularly for an 84-year-old man with cancer.

His comment also came shortly after Fox & Friends co-host Will Cain commented on how Powell’s death will lead to “conversations about the fact he was fully vaccinated, according to his family and he died from complications from Covid.”

Before Roberts’ tweet was deleted, he was slammed for leaving out the crucial context regarding vaccines. He was also accused of fueling Fox News’ vaccine skepticism.

The news media are so dumb. The pharmaceutical companies themselves say the vaccines deteriorate quickly over the months.

Fully vaccinated never last more than 6 months in anyone, regardless of which injection they received.

Anyway these are not vaccines. Vaccines don't have a 20 to 50% failure rate within 6 months of receiving the injection.

"This is a simple, basic proposition: If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in an ICU unit, and you’re not going to die," Biden said.

Trumps singing from the same hymn sheet in the vaccine department.

Hence the fake credit he keeps on claiming in spades where the vaccines are concerned.

84 year old men with multiple myeloma inevitably end up in Hospital ICU, COVID 19 or not.

Unless you are being treated for blood cancer? Perhaps? No?

And the old scumbag liar keeps talking as if he has credibility in our minds. Truly out of touch with reality.

My wife works in a nursing home here in Colorado and what is messed up 2 weeks ago there was a lady that was 92 years old and had cancer in her throat and covid at the same time and she went to the doctors office and they still gave her radiation treatment and she died of covid like 3 days later. Why would you even treat someone of that age with radiation that had covid at the same time? Why not cure the covid 1st and see if they live then deal with the radiation later.

And remember, on June 22nd US president Joe Biden told the world on CNN, that if we get vaccinated, we will not contract Covid19....period.

Worst president ever.

Just because you don't want to take a experimental vaccine that's not even completed its studies, doesn't mean you are ANTI Vaxxx, you clown

I think one could likely root around in many countries, if one had access to certain installations and facilities, and find some trace of WMD or R&D to develop highly efficient and effective solutions for killing people.

The problem was, and maybe this was not Colin Powell's role in the game back then, why was invading Iraq due to finding some mustard gas or serin or traces of un-enriched uranium in any way a coherent, strategic and justifiable response to a collection of Saudis , funded and trained by parties operating in Afghanistan, hijacking US planes.

At the end of the day we can all debate what does or doesn't constitute WMDs till we're blue in the face, but someone in command needed to put their thinking caps on and connect the dots much better than was done when deciding to invade Iraq. NOTHING I've ever read or heard indicates that Sadam Hussein was in any way cooperating or mutually planning operations with Al-Qaeda. Maybe I just haven't done my full homework, maybe there is intelligence somewhere that illustrates the Iraq + Al-Qaeda linkage, but if so, there's been a very poor job of presenting that evidence to the public and making a case against Iraq that demonstrated MOTIVE and CULPABILTY for what was done on 9/11, not just some circumstantial clues (in my best George Bush voice) "Well Saduum sure doesn't like the US, and he had at one time a chemical weapons program .... and Iraq is in the Middle East...meh let's just take 'em out....to be sure you know"

I have respect for the man Colin Powell was prior to 2003-ish, but in the years that followed, for whatever reason, his name will be linked with one of the most flawed and ill-advised military campaigns in history.

Im not a doctor ColoradoTemplar.

Those would be questions for the oncologist and/or ear nose and throat specialists.

Off the top of my head maybe they had to quickly treat the cancer so it did not spread.

Unfortunately 92 year old ladies in nursing homes pass away mate.

As to the side effects of radiotherapy, apparently those usually peak up to two weeks after treatment, depending on the area of the body that has been treated.

He was a soldier.
That explains the weapons of mass destruction.
Does not excuse it but it explains it.
Take note he died of Covid and not any of his underlying health conditions.
From the information seen on this site
points to him being pond scum.
totally random apple is totally orange really
as paul harvey likes to stay now for the rest of the story

“The FBI made a call directly to Kamala Harris, and she told them they’d have to spin the death to make it appear as if he died from Covid,” our source said. “The FBI is a tool of the Deep State.”

See if his flag is wrinkled like B1's.
We all know what that means

The day he dies? why?

To make some weak ass point that's been discussed ad nauseum over the past few decades??

As I said. Decorum apparently isn't a thing.

I expect that the same sorts of things will be said when Bush shuffles off this mortal coil. When Hillary does. When which ever bogey man does.

Doesn't mean it's right.

I suppose when Bill Clinton takes a dirt nap, we shouldn't bring up a blue dress?

I'll answer that with my own question: what good would it do to bring it up? Do you think there is anyone left on the planet that hasn't heard about Monica Lewinski and her blue dress? When Bill Clinton dies, do you believe that talking about that incident will somehow harm him? Do you think he will be able to hear you? Maybe you think dead guys can read Internet forums?

I don't, and I certainly have no intention of mentioning it. If you want to appear hateful and petty, please be my guest.

Kamala Harris asked the medical examiner to say a fully vaccinated Colin Powell died of Covid-19?

That makes her smarter or dumber than her boss, Joe? I wonder...

Former Surgeon General blames unvaccinated for Powell's death.

a reply to: ColoradoTemplar

What is interesting is their criticism of pointing out Powell was vaccinated uses the same logic that many have been pointing out when questioning the severity of covid policies and mandates.

They note that Powell was 84, had blood cancer, and that vaccines don't prevent you from catching covid. In other words, he died if old age with covid, not of covid. So why do we have society locked down again?

I think bad, evil and immoral people should be called out in life and in death. Everyone dies at some point. Why would I feel remorse for evil people leaving this earth? Bill and Hillary are both scum. Colin Powell participated in a huge deception to the people in this country that changed our lives forever for the worse.
