Wasn't a fan of him due to his role in the 2nd Iraq war

He, like many others, was fooled by the false claims relating to weapons of mass disruption. Tony Blair was convinced by a university student’s thesis on the subject. I’m not sure how George Bush persuaded Colin Powell, but I’m sure it looked good. :erm: |

I was once on the same flight as him, just after his tenure as SoS had ended. It was impressive to see the Secret Service in action. At the end of the flight he just vanished. It was like magic!

The war could only be said to be successful on the artificially narrow criterion of removing Saddam. My geography A level was successful on the very narrow criterion of turning up and getting a grade. However neither adventure was successful as soon as the very reasonable demand for more than short term benefits is considered. My geography A level didn’t get me my chosen degree course. The war in Iraq didn’t achieve the reasonable expectation of any war, which is that the situation afterwards should be better than the situation before. |
