So has Chrmn. of the Joint Chfs. you are saying that he had no influence ?
Yes Bush 41 was POTUS and Bush was and is (still) culpable for that slaughter as well but to say Powell is blameless is being willfully blind. If Bush 41 did not want to finish the R. Guard and Powell thought is was necessary then Powell should have resigned and put that failure clearly on Bush 41.
Powell does not get a pass. Leadership and power come with responsibility.
