Colin Powell joining the Reality Community?
Oh look, apparently Colin Powell is finding his small shriveled up conscience since leaving office. To bad it wasn't before he did his little lying shtick at the UN on Feb. 2003.
"So whenever I get orders I take my conscience and cram it into a little box, kinda like this."-Colin Powell(paraphrasing)

U.S. forces 'losing' in Iraq, Powell says
WASHINGTON: The former secretary of state Colin Powell said Sunday that badly overstretched U.S. forces in Iraq were losing the war there and that a temporary U.S. troop surge probably would not help.Continue:
In one of his few commentaries on the war since leaving office, Powell quickly added that the situation could be reversed. He recommended an intense coalition effort to train and support Iraqi security forces and strength in the government in Baghdad. Powell was deeply skeptical about increasing troop levels, an idea that appears to be gaining ground as president George W. Bush weighs U.S. strategy options.
"There really are no additional troops" to send, Powell said, adding that he agreed with those who say that the U.S. Army is "about broken."
