Late-breaking Conscience from Colin Powell?

posted by drew

Regarding General Colin Powell's devastatingly effective endorsement of Obama, one might ask, to what extent is the power and passion of the general's public statement related to regret at being used by Bush and sacrificing his integrity at the United Nations in February of 2003?

In 2003 Powell testified at the U.N. as the character witness for George Bush's War-Based-on-Lies. In 2008 Powell appeared on "Meet The Press" and lacerated McCain like a skilled courtroom lawyer.

Obama was launched as an anti-war candidate, whereas McCain has championed the invasion of Iraq.

Is it possible that General Powell's conscience is haunted by the thought of several hundred thousand murdered Iraqis?

"Thank you for the exceptional contribution you made to the development of the Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium. It's hard to imagine the direction we would have taken and the end we would have arrived at had you not crossed our path however many months ago. It isn't just the information you shared with us about Thomas Berry's work; it's the way you have internalized it and woven it into your own soul that made it so potent, and in the end, caused us to revise the entire Symposium based on the principles he identified and that you shared so eloquently. Your work with the interviews was nothing short of inspired. In addition to helping us connect with the right people to use, your skill both in creating thoughtful questions and then engaging the interviewees was masterful. Drew, you have been a team player par excellence. It was a privilege and pleasure to work with you."
