Colin Powell's Aid Speaks Up

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell's top aide has accused Cheney and Rumsfeld of creating a "cabal" that has hijacked U.S. foreign policy.

He also said that Bush was "not versed in international relations and not too much interested in them either."

He added that the administration "made decisions in secret, and now I think it is paying the consequences of having made those decisions in secret. But far more telling to me is America is paying the consequences."

I say that while many Americans could have been fooled the first time, how could all of this not have been painfully, achingly, and torturingly obvious to all but the most diehard party-line followers. America has been robbed, raped and ravaged by this administration and most Americans alive today will not live to see it recover.
