Great American, despite the run-up to Iraq bullshit which he regretted. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 10/18/2021 2:37PM

Big loss for his family and country ** -- WaxHoo 10/18/2021 09:15AM
That really stinks :>( Should he lie in State at the Capitol?** -- Tuckahokie 10/18/2021 08:46AM
Bipartisan honoring of a public servant would be a nice change. ** -- hokie in cville 10/18/2021 09:48AM
Yes ** -- 06 Hoo 10/18/2021 09:06AM
If only xe had been vaccinated... ** -- ResistHoo 10/18/2021 08:36AM

Okay, internet tough guy. ** -- ResistHoo 10/18/2021 1:02PM
Only shitbags like wax can make remarks like that ** -- HokieDan95 10/18/2021 10:11AM
Then why not call out this one? -- DTsBicep 10/18/2021 1:04PM

Throwing your lot in with Blah - sounds like a winning move. ** -- ResistHoo 10/18/2021 1:02PM
An appropriate figure for our times -- Fuzzy Dunlop 10/18/2021 08:24AM
He spent a lifetime respecting the chain of the command. -- hoolstoptheheels 10/18/2021 08:43AM
That's one way of putting it -- Fuzzy Dunlop 10/18/2021 08:48AM
As in a soldier obeying an ill-advised order. IMO, Powell was a soldier -- hoolstoptheheels 10/18/2021 09:08AM
Perhaps without his strong leadership the ill-advised order may have -- Tuckahokie 10/18/2021 09:11AM
Perhaps if he had resigned we would not have gone ** -- 81_Hokie 10/18/2021 09:15AM
Not a chance. I used to argue that Bush would go right up to his deadline -- hoolstoptheheels 10/18/2021 09:33AM
That sounds like a big stretch 81 ** -- Tuckahokie 10/18/2021 09:17AM
I'm not sure how things would have been different with the execution of the -- 81_Hokie 10/18/2021 09:26AM
That's the first war's vote count. 2nd war's authorization was 77-23 -- JohnHoo2 10/18/2021 10:16AM
Yep, see below. damned old memory and work causing hurried googles. ** -- 81_Hokie 10/18/2021 10:37AM
IMO, not a chance in hell. Not with the mood the country was in at that -- hoolstoptheheels 10/18/2021 09:37AM
Just to be perfectly clear, I was talking about the more recent Iraq War ** -- Fuzzy Dunlop 10/18/2021 09:41AM
That’s what we are talking about. ** -- hoolstoptheheels 10/18/2021 09:43AM
You sure everyone is? 81 is talking about Stormin' Norman upthread ** -- Fuzzy Dunlop 10/18/2021 09:44AM
Yep, my bad. I was remembering the UN presentation, etc. and conflated that -- 81_Hokie 10/18/2021 09:49AM
Powell was the guy standing before the UN Sec Council talking about -- hoolstoptheheels 10/18/2021 09:56AM
Yes, see below... right scenario but blew the Schwartzkopf reference ** -- 81_Hokie 10/18/2021 10:36AM
I can actually help with that! -- Fuzzy Dunlop 10/18/2021 09:54AM
So it's more or less as I recalled but I blew it with the Schwartzkopf -- 81_Hokie 10/18/2021 10:34AM
Fair enough...I'll downgrade to a somewhat of a stretch :>) ** -- Tuckahokie 10/18/2021 09:30AM
Can we trash him tomorrow? Jeez.... ** -- Tuckahokie 10/18/2021 08:51AM
Fair - I'll hold off until tomorrow -- Fuzzy Dunlop 10/18/2021 09:00AM
He wasn't perfect, but he tried to be the best he can be. ** -- Blah 10/18/2021 08:44AM
We humans don’t get to be perfect. ** -- hoolstoptheheels 10/18/2021 08:46AM
Yep, but he always tried to better himself. ** -- Blah 10/18/2021 08:50AM
And in the world of politics, was refreshingly honest, including about his -- hoolstoptheheels 10/18/2021 09:09AM
He would have had my vote had he run. A truly great American no matter -- graycalhoo 10/18/2021 08:21AM
That stinks. -- fphoo 10/18/2021 08:17AM
Very sad. He was a good man and great leader who stood on principles. -- CMUHoo 10/18/2021 08:15AM
Dang. At one point, he was my favorite to run for President. ** -- HoosWillWin 10/18/2021 08:13AM
Yup. Would’ve made a good one. ** -- SixerHoo 10/18/2021 08:15AM
Yeah. After the WOMD issue, I became -- HoosWillWin 10/18/2021 08:17AM
A good man compromised by a dishonest administration. ** -- SixerHoo 10/18/2021 08:18AM
Yep. ** -- HoosWillWin 10/18/2021 08:30AM
Oh crap. That’s terrible news. One of the last good Republicans. ** -- WahooRQ 10/18/2021 08:11AM
