Colin Powell dies of COVID-19 complications, aged 84

Colin Powell, the soldier who rose to become the first black US secretary of state and serve three presidents, but whose reputation was tainted when he used spurious intelligence to make the case for war with Iraq, has died at the age of 84.

Will forever be linked to presenting knowingly false info about weapons of mass destruction to the UN to justify the invasion of Iraq.

In fairness to him, he later said it was his biggest regret and deserted the Republican Party not long after he left the Bush administration, but being part of the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld years have stained his legacy.

He won't be missed by many left-leaning folk around the world.

A reminder of the not so distant past when the GOP wasn't full of and led by the worst people in America.

 

[spinynorman]

He first came to prominence during Vietnam when charged with investigating the My Lai Massacre and attempted to whitewash and cover it. So continued his disreputable career.

If only we were as forgiving of all war criminals as we are of the western world's political class, how many convicted war criminals could have been forgiven if they had meekly said they regretted it once they no longer held any power.

 

[Gough]

I'd never heard of these guys until I saw an episode of Shetland but read about it afterwards and they were amazing. A life well lived.

 

[Over The Post]

Interesting piece by Scott Ritter, the last sentence sums it all up IMO.

Colin Powell could have been US President, but his loyalty to the Bush family overcame his sense of duty to the nation

Colin Powell could have been the President of the United States. Instead, history will remember him as the man who sold a false case for war to the UN Security Council, in violation of every principle he claimed to stand for.
