Are you talking about the same Colin Powell that got in front of the UN
and swore up and down that he had incontrovertible evidence of weapons of
mass destruction in Iraq?

he is the best asset this administration has (had?).

That's probably true. Damning with faint praise though.

It certainly was not his best moment and it did indeed diminish is stature
somewhat. But the circumstances at the time backed him into a corner.

I am willing to cut him a little slack because I believe he thought by doing
the UN thing he could regain some influence and head off some of the other
disasters he saw looming. Too bad he was wrong.
