The Speech That Should Not Have Been

@ 11:54 AM (36 months, 17 days ago)

Not only is buyer's regret settling in among some American voters who pulled the lever for Bush/Cheney last year, but it appears also to be happening among some former Administration officials as well.

A former aide to Colin Powell says that Powell's speech before the UN on Iraq's alledged WMDs was the lowest point in his life and he regrets his involvement in it.

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson says "I wish I had not been involved in it.  I look back on it, and I still say it was the lowest point in my life."

Hmmm...I'm glad you've come over to the reality-based community, Col. Wilkerson.  Maybe next time you'll remember to stay away from the kool-aid.  And maybe you'll remember it's more important to serve the interests of the American people; not the President (especially when he's wrong).
