I do remember Colin Powell going over, in great detail before the UN, a video of trucks supposedly hauling WMD's. If, indeed, he was duped into that deductive reasoning by someone else, then he did the right thing to resign. It would be justified to call him an idiot.

Afghanistan will never be stabilized - never, ever, ever irregardless if we hadn't gone into Iraq. We'll be fighting and dying and spending trillions in Afghanistan well into your grandchildren's adult life if someone doesn't get the message to cut our losses and get the hell out of there.
