18. He betrayed the troops
My husband and I did not believe or trust Bush; but when Colin Powell spoke in front of the U.N., we felt there must be some truth to the nuclear weapons threat. How could someone in the military send his fellow soldiers and Marines into battle unless it was the last resort and totally necessary? At the time we watched Powell speak, our 19 year-old Marine son was 20 miles from the Iraqi border. I was terrified of him going to war but could not believe Powell would betray the troops. I have nothing but contempt for the man, and I agree that history will pass judgment on him in a harsh way.

Thank you for starting this thread.
