"I wish I had not been involved in it," says Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a longtime Powell adviser who served as his chief of staff from 2002 through
2005. "I look back on it, and I still say it was the lowest point in my life."
George actually did call the Secretary, and said, 'I'm really sorry to have to tell you. We don't believe there were any mobile labs for making
biological weapons,'" Wilkerson says in the documentary. "This was the third or fourth telephone call. And I think it's fair to say the Secretary
and Mr. Tenet, at that point, ceased being close. I mean, you can be sincere and you can be honest and you can believe what you're telling the
Secretary. But three or four times on substantive issues like that? It's difficult to maintain any warm feelings."

Im not sure what do make of this. We know that a quotes from a Tony Blair speech came from a college paper. I would like to hear from Powell
himself on the matter.
Was the faulty intel one of the reasons Powell left the Whitehouse?
Didnt anyone else find the logic behind the war flawed?
The Bush admin never said how/why Iraqs supposed WMDs were any worse then existing WMDs in other hostile countries?
Onto a more important point.
Are Col. Lawrence Wilkerson actions politicaly motivated ?
Its diffcult to say for certain but given that he didnt criticize Powell or the Bush admin Im inclined to say that his actions arent politicaly
motivated.
Having said that perhaps he is making more modrate and relvant criticsms of the Bush Admin.
For some reasons this topic is of great interest to me perhaps members who watch the relvant program can help get to the bottom of this matter.
