I can’t believe I almost forgot. Today is the fifth anniversary of Colin Powell’s pimpalicious address to the UN stating the Bush Administration’s irrefutable case against Saddam and their justification for going to war. Seems like just yesterday, doesn't it?
Since the traditional present for a five-year anniversary is either wood or clocks, I think this looks just about right.

The intelligence community fed Powell horrible intel, it will always be a blot on his record.
"There were some people in the intelligence community who knew at the time that some of those sources were not good, and shouldn't be relied upon, and they didn't speak up," Powell said.
Greetz
The American media should get their share of blame and abuse.
5 Years Ago: When the Press Helped Colin Powell Sell the War
(By Greg Mitchell)
CNN’s Bill Schneider said that “no one” disputed Powell’s findings. Bob Woodward, asked by Larry King on CNN what happens if we go to war and don’t find any WMD, answered: “I think the chance of that happening is about zero. There’s just too much there.” George Will suggested that Powell’s speech would “change all minds open to evidence.”
Oh that "liberal MSM"
The "intelligence community"? Bullshit. This one's on Powell. It was clearly evident at the time that the administration was building its own case and manufacturing its own intelligence outside of the CIA. He decided to put his credibility on the line to shill for the Bushies, and they burned him big time.
