Let's be clear that Powell was at the tail end of that dog. From the halycon, Clinton-era days of the Project For A New American Century on through to the start of the Iraq War the Neocons weren't making any secret of their agenda, they simply needed a pretext for war in Iraq. 911 gave them the emotional rationale and military rationale was simply manufactured.
Powell was highly respected on the international stage, but naive - and that was the reason he was chosen for the job.

Well, I choose to believe that he resigned from office when the truth was revealed TO HIM, as a good soldier should.

John M,
Thanks for linking to the editorial from The Deseret News.
I clicked on it already holding the attitude of contempt that I unconsciously seem to keep just for that church, the church of my long, long ago heritage.
I was astonished by the editorial's content and, honestly, by how well it was written (concise, short and clear). A nice find.

Out of frustration, you would think that DMT would just Goggle Hillary's accomplishments rather than whine about how she doesn't have any
Her No. 1 Accomplishment is being a successful and highly respected for the work she did as first wife, Senator, SOS and Presidential candidate
here is a list of other stuff
1. Fought for children and families for 40 years and counting.
After law school, Hillary could have gone to work for a prestigious law firm, but took a job at the Children’s Defense Fund. She worked with teenagers incarcerated in adult prisons in South Carolina and families with disabled children in Massachusetts. It sparked a lifelong passion for helping children live up to their potential.
2. Helped provide millions of children with health care.
As first lady of the United States, Hillary fought to help pass health care reform. When that effort failed, she didn’t give up: Hillary worked with Republicans and Democrats to help create the Children’s Health Insurance Program. CHIP cut the uninsured rate of American children by half, and today it provides health care to more than 8 million kids.
3. Helped get 9/11 first responders the health care they needed.
When terrorists attacked just months after Hillary became U.S. senator from New York, she worked to make sure the 9/11 first responders who suffered lasting health effects from their time at Ground Zero got the care they needed.
4. Told the world that “women’s rights are human rights.”
Standing in front of a U.N. conference and declaring that “women’s rights are human rights” was more controversial than it sounds today. Many within the U.S. government didn’t want Hillary to go to Beijing. Others wanted her to pick a less polarizing topic (you say polarizing, we say half the population). But Hillary was determined to speak out about human rights abuses, and her message became a rallying cry for a generation.
5. Stood up for LGBT rights at home and abroad.
As secretary of state, Hillary made LGBT rights a focus of U.S. foreign policy. She lobbied for the first-ever U.N. Human Rights Council resolution on human rights and declared that “gay rights are human rights.” And here at home, she made the State Department a better, fairer place for LGBT employees to work.
6. Helped expand health care and family leave for military families.
Hillary worked across the aisle to expand health care access for members of the National Guard and reservists—making sure those who served and their families had access to health care when they returned home. And she worked to expand the Family Medical Leave Act, allowing families of those wounded in service to their country to take leave in order to care for their loved ones.
7. Negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
As our nation’s chief diplomat, Hillary didn’t back down when the stakes were high. As Hamas rockets rained down on Israel, Hillary went to the region immediately. Twenty-four hours after she landed, a ceasefire went into effect—and that year became Israel’s quietest in a decade.
plus worked on Climate Change and LGBT rights
is in agreement with almost every issue that Bernie is passionate about
she has the potential to be one of the most progressive people to be elected President since Eisenhower.

The liberal echo chamber seems to be resonating across the whole measure of ST today.
First: whaaa!- there's not enough climbing content.
Second: Whaaa! - people aren't being civil.
Third: Whaaaa- people aren't being civil on the climbing content threads.
Final: Whaaaa- I don't like people that don't think like me, ban them!
Echoooo. Echooo.

If we are going to point to DT and his verbal behavior towards women as an example of a characteristic making a man unsuitable for presidency, we should be calling out people everywhere when the spew this sort of thing. It is UNSUITABLE as an example of what a decent man says.
However, I do hope Melania is realizing that she could do soooo much better in choices of a mate.

the orange turd is in free fall.
Yesterday, the NBC poll showed her with an 11 point lead in a four way race, 14 point head to head.
Maybe a fluke?
Well, today the Atlantic poll shows her up 11 in a head to head match-up.
