This video and the Washington Post article this post is linked to explain how former Secretary of State Colin Powell was fired by the Bush Administration. I've long believed that Condelessa Rice was stabing Powell in the back in her own quest for power. Why do I think this? Because she allowed herself to be the person who took Powell's place.
Vice President Cheney, Andrew Card, Donald Rumsfeld, and other plotted to take down Colin Powell because he was a more popular figure than Bush and the only voice of reason who could have kept the United States out of this mess that is the Iraq War.
But what these people did was apparently set up false intelligence and used Powell to present it. Terrible.
The Washington Post article is a must-read. In it, Powell's reported to have said that the President didn't seem to know why Powell was in what turned out to be his farewell meeting. That's an old trick sociopathic politician and public official play. I've worked for some of them. President Bush knew all along. Bet on it.
