This is the question. Colin Powell has no one to blame but himself. If he
believed in that embarassing presentation of nothing but pure circumstantial
evidence he delivered infront of the whole World when everyone  was waiting
with baited breath for the so-called smoking gun, then at that moment, he
must have been turned into a programmed robot who could not read and
comprehend the material he was given  to present.
I think they made a fine spectacle of him and frankly, I am amazed that he
let himself be the one to go out there and make a fool of himself before the
whole World.
