He says that stuff because he knows he'll never be put on a pedestal like that by mainstream society. He's committed some horrible crimes himself, so he has no moral basis on which to criticize people like Powell.

As much as I hate to say this, his daughter has more humanity in her than then her dad. Liz is at least humane when it comes to war. Rumsfeld and Cheney seems like they did not care. I think Bush cared, but because of his dad and others never admitted to Iraq being a failure. I think we did most of what we set out to do in Iraq, but not finding WMDs was a massive blunder.
There is a time and a place for everything. Bashing Colin Powell before his body is even cold is not the time to do so. Anybody with any degree of class knows that.
I think it’s despicable to say this when he’s dead. It could be said while he was alive. You could tell him how awful he was while he was alive and could hear it. It’s disgusting when someone does, whether you like him or not, and that’s when the poor comments come in. His family has to live with this loss! Furthermore, I’m pretty sure there is an interview with him recently stating this was the BIGGEST MISTAKE he made!!!! Can he rewind time??? I hate talking poorly about DEAD people! I’ll NEVER agree with trump. Never! He has no class or brain cells!
When saying RIP, just say RIP. Don't rip into a person who has passed on. The critique of Colin Powell's war-mongering and blatant lying to the world should've been done before he died. What use is it now. The man is gone.
Use ? Maybe trying to whitewash his legacy? Powell sold out his Honor , Duty and Country , for LIES by a war criminal president and his administration.
Like Trump has the right to criticize anyone!! It doesn’t matter who has passed, you never speak ill words toward that person, like Trump did!! Anything to stay relevant!! He’s a disgrace!!
My best friend who had a six-month-old son and a wife waiting for him in Germany was killed because of his lies! I couldn't give a crap about his family🔥💀🔥
He hopes he's treated as well... Grass will never grow on his grave because the number of people waiting to piss on it. Hopefully history will show just how horrible he is.
Whilst I agree Powell must be remembered for the things he did I do not think public attacks are appropriate immediately after his death. If we cannot find the kindness to hold our opinions for a few days out of respect to the people he shared love with we have little ground to criticise at all. I fight hard for history, good and bad, to be remembered and taught. I also fight hard for civil discourse. These are unpopular stances these days and we are poorer for it. Please, wait just a few days.
Totally agree, politics is made up of opposing views, those in government make mistakes and get things wrong and Colin Powell like a lot of those involved at the time may regret the part they played in Iraq and the history books will document the consequence of his involvement. Powell though was a better person than Trump full stop, he died, people should acknowledge that commentary on his past actions can wait a week or two.
@HTR Productions While he may not deserve respect his loved ones do. Facts do not change for waiting a few days, boohooing grief is ugly on any person.
Hey Anna, I am a fan but I am not feeling you on this one. The man did try to serve with honor, he was clearly mislead by Cheney and Rumsfeld, and later admit that he made a mistake.
The annoying orange dodged the draft, wasn't the son of immigrants, got his education with daddy's help, etc. Colin Powell would have annoyed the hell out of the thin skin, mango man!
You say crazy as if it's not true. Death is a fact. He will be just as dead if his body is still warm or if it is still cold. Why do people use that ad a point to make them seem less compassionate? Would you say that same for the many horrible dictators throughout history?
At least he was man enough to own his mistakes and not blame others. He showed remorse. He was humble. Not a jackass following a jackass and a coward. He was big enough to say he was wrong and not pass the buck. He is a bigger man than orange head. Rest peacefully, Brother Powell.
Powell was a warmonger. Plain and simple. As a Desert Storm/Somolia vet, I refuse to aggrandize or eulogize warmongers living or dead. My heroes are humanitarians, not those who lie purposefully for financial and/or political gain.
I thought Colin Powell was fed lies and didn’t know about it from the likes of Rumsfeld and Cheney. And even you guys are disagreeing right in front of me here. What’s the truth?
He should have done due diligence instead of trusting those scumbags if that was the case. Some people do so little to find out the truth that they are just as culpable as the liars.
@@discocorco Yes, he was part of the Bush administration...DUH! We elect killers to the White House -- of either party! -- but we expect them to govern as peacenicks! SAAAPRISE!!!!
I always enjoy when Ana and Cenk bicker, because it shows how two people with mutual respect can bicker and fight, passionately, even raising their voices at each other, without breaking the relationship. Creativity comes from such conflict.
Can you illuminate the martial and civic qualities of Trump that entitle him to opine on a serious and intelligent policy initiator and problem solver? Powell admitted and disowned his own policy mistakes without hubris. He served his country to the best of his ability. Trump, neither warrior or statesman has not.
These two clucked and burped arguments toward one another without once talking about how the guy they hate has absolutely zero class and is a huge hypocrite. I mean if he thought the wars were so bad, why did he do little to nothing to end it? Powell was just the face people trusted to promote the inevitable. This segment was entertaining but lacked any nuance or depth because they started barking at one another over Progressives who constantly lose and excusing the crassness of a man-child narcissistic simpleton.
I understand he made mistakes, but he admitted to it unlike others. I don't think anyone is perfect, but the ability to admit and take accountability is the key difference. Especially since he can't change anything now. Bottom line is the US states man - Colin Powell is dead. May he RIP
Trump doesn’t care one bit that Colin Powell was a warmonger. He’s dissing him because Powell gave interviews in which he talked against Trump. Don’t give Trump credit for throwing another selfish tantrum.
Trump isn't an honest actor. He's not criticizing Colin Powell for his mistakes on Iraq because the criticism is justified, his criticizing him cuz of some grudge he's holding
Call them as they are, however NOT when someone dies. The people who love that person are in pain and grieving their loss. Give them the space by not critiquing the dead at that particular time.
Still, it is digusting to hear that was Trump's condolence, regradless what Powel legacy is!! There's another time for that, but for now respect his family..... he was a husband, a father and grandfather to someone..... RIP
Colin Powell has throughout his life and military and political careers… carried out himself with DISTINCTION… both in the George H W Bush and George W Bush administrations …he was caught in a TOXIC environment under the junior Bush’s administration… that led him to compromise his ethical standing… it was a HOBSON’S CHOICE dilemma… and as loyalty demands… he followed his orders in the military tradition… “do or die”… because he was brought up in the military…despite this tarnish to his reputation… he is a decorated hero and commands deep respect by all people, at home and abroad… history will always remember him…it is therefore, unfortunate that Trump could be so thoughtless and tactless to pick this sad moment to compare himself to Colin Powell…by SHOOTING FROM THE HIP with his smart comments… as usual no consideration to the family and friends of this GREAT AND HUMBLE MAN… it is certain that Trump will be remembered for his NOTORIETY in the footnote of history… without doubt!
People who don't understand the military can say whatever they want, but I served under Gen. Colin Powell he was a man of honor and he regretted that moment in history.
Ok so we have always known about Colin Powell and his wrong doings especially in my community, but what's the point now? He's dead....Just acknowledge the death and move on.
OF COOOURSE Powell knew it was ALL LIES , Heck ,he admitted it in interviews after the fact . "Worse decision I have ever made " , the United Nations speech , which sold the Iraq invasion to the United States and the World . He admitted that both Cheney and Bush told him to make that speech at the U.N . or resign right there and then . Powell sold out his Honor , Duty and Country, for LIES by a War Criminal President and his Administration .
He was well aware, as Pence was when making such claims. I do commend his desire t o be more mindful when making his political stances public, following afterwards.
@@town_biznessman380 Right . When Powell was out of power and couldn't do squat . He was just trying to Whitewash his destroyed reputation and total lack of Honor .
@Lock him up Lock him up You need to look up the phrase : Duty , Honor , Country means . Powell , in the end , had NONE of that , he flushed that all down the toilet working with and colluding with , a War Criminal President and his corrupt Administration.
He was told to make those statements , I remember how uncomfortable he was speaking at the UN , he knew, Bush pushed him , he was a good man , we all make mistakes , Colin deserves better then this..
Me, too. TYT gets it wrong here. At the time, even the UN believed Saddam had WMDs. So that part was a MISTAKE, not a lie. Also, Powell was against going in, especially without a good exit strategy. He did think taking it to the UN was better in the hopes they could provide a _diplomatic_ solution. But I don’t think he was expecting the script Cheney’s office produced. The big lie was that Saddam Hussein was somehow connected to Osama bin Ladin. That is what Cheney and his goons were trying to sell. Paul knew there was a concern that there because the speech was sent back to the CIA twice to double check. Twice they removed the language that made the tie between the two leaders. So it was a surprise to Powell and to the CIA that Cheney went with his version instead of the version that they had authorized. Frontline interviewed all many involved including Powell who doesn’t discuss that part a lot. But the CIA analyst gives the full story.
Others may have given Colin Powell a good send-off in spite of all his faults but Trump didn't. He took that opportunity to highlight his faults. In the same sentence, he says he expects to get the same kind of send-off. I think he deserves the same kind of send-off he gives others.
I'd like some data backing up what you've said about Powell. Powell's doctrine included war as only a last resort. That's not being a war monger. I also though that Powell, in his speech to the United Nations about WMD in Iraq, was relying on data provided to him that was represented to him as being reliable. That data proved to be completely bogus and there were at least two notable persons, Mohamed ElBaradei, then Director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Scott Ritter, a UN weapons inspector, who said as much. Mr. Ritter was much more blunt than Mr. ElBaradei but Mr. Ritter didn't hold such an esteemed position. Mr. Powell mistakenly trusted the data but I don't think it's accurate to say he "knowingly" lied about it Finally, didn't Cheney admit that it was he who authorized "enhanced interrogation" a.k.a. torture? Powell wasn't perfect. No one is. I think you're mischaracterizing at least his term as secretary of state. Can you provide documentation to back up these claims?
I am no Republican. I vehemently disagree with a truly astounding number of things that they stand for. But, I’m not a Democrat either. This sort of thing is why I am an independent and shall always be independent. It is distasteful to piss on a man’s grave when his body isn’t Even in the ground yet. It’s just not done. Colin Powell was no saint. But, it cannot be denied that he did inspire many people to strive for success. He was not perfect. Nobody is. To refrain from criticizing him and from listing all his mistakes when he died is not holding him up on a pedestal. It’s just simply reverance for the dead. Go after him while he’s alive like that Iraq veteran confronted George W bush. Excoriate him while he has the ability and the means to defend himself or answer for his misdeeds. Lay bare all his sins for all to see if you must. But, once a man dies, some respect ought to be afforded the fact that human life has ended. To do otherwise is tantamount to going up to a sick person in a hospital bed and physically assaulting them or torturing an invalid. The tendency of so many people on the left to do this sort of thing turns a lot of people off and sends them into the arms of those who do not vote in their best interest and the country as a whole suffers for it. Peoples morals and values matter. They just do. You may not agree with them, you may not share them, but, it does not mean that they are not valid and that they are not there.
@@TheJapan38 Colin Powell didn't gather the intelligence himself. It was provided by the CIA and other intelligence agencies. He made his statements based on false information he was given.
That response by Trump is disgusting and anyone who agrees with that statement is disgusting. My mom always told me "If I don't have anything good to say, keep my mouth shut" and that statement definitely holds true in every form here.

In the end, Colin Powell admitted his mistake concerning the Iraqi War & owned it. Whereas Bush & Cheney still believe it was the right move to make.
As much as I hate to say this, his daughter has more humanity in her than then her dad. Liz is at least humane when it comes to war. Rumsfeld and Cheney seems like they did not care. I think Bush cared, but because of his dad and others never admitted to Iraq being a failure. I think we did most of what we set out to do in Iraq, but not finding WMDs was a massive blunder.
There is a time and a place for everything. Bashing Colin Powell before his body is even cold is not the time to do so. Anybody with any degree of class knows that.
Not a privilege afforded to murderes and war mongers responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians .
Funny how both Ana and Cenk didn't mention that, or Donald's hypocrisy and projection.
Hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians don't care. Learn from history or doomed to repeat it again
@@geniousgeorge4973 At least let his wife and family have a second to mourn.
That only applies in person.
He's such a hippocrit and an evil man. Get him gone.
I think it’s despicable to say this when he’s dead. It could be said while he was alive. You could tell him how awful he was while he was alive and could hear it. It’s disgusting when someone does, whether you like him or not, and that’s when the poor comments come in. His family has to live with this loss! Furthermore, I’m pretty sure there is an interview with him recently stating this was the BIGGEST MISTAKE he made!!!! Can he rewind time??? I hate talking poorly about DEAD people! I’ll NEVER agree with trump. Never! He has no class or brain cells!
Trump couldn't say that crap while Powell was alive, Powell would have beat his ass!
Colin Powell made mistakes, but at least he owned up to them!
Sure he did 🙄 u know him personally 😂
When saying RIP, just say RIP. Don't rip into a person who has passed on. The critique of Colin Powell's war-mongering and blatant lying to the world should've been done before he died. What use is it now. The man is gone.
Use ?
Maybe trying to whitewash his legacy?
Powell sold out his Honor , Duty and Country , for LIES by a war criminal president and his administration.
Like Trump has the right to criticize anyone!! It doesn’t matter who has passed, you never speak ill words toward that person, like Trump did!! Anything to stay relevant!! He’s a disgrace!!
To me it is just about human decency. Whether you liked him or not, he had a family that loved him. That is what I have a problem with.
My best friend who had a six-month-old son and a wife waiting for him in Germany was killed because of his lies! I couldn't give a crap about his family🔥💀🔥
Wah! Wah! I'm not the center of attention! I'm Donald Trump! Wah! Wah! What a jerk! So
He was lied to and repeated what he was told. Check that story again
They mentioned that yesterday. Check that story again
He hopes he's treated as well... Grass will never grow on his grave because the number of people waiting to piss on it. Hopefully history will show just how horrible he is.
He will only criticize someone who doesn’t Louie him or agree with him. He’s a louse. Respect the dead.
You can't trust someone who cant even say I'm sorry for your loss
Whilst I agree Powell must be remembered for the things he did I do not think public attacks are appropriate immediately after his death. If we cannot find the kindness to hold our opinions for a few days out of respect to the people he shared love with we have little ground to criticise at all. I fight hard for history, good and bad, to be remembered and taught. I also fight hard for civil discourse. These are unpopular stances these days and we are poorer for it. Please, wait just a few days.
Totally agree, politics is made up of opposing views, those in government make mistakes and get things wrong and Colin Powell like a lot of those involved at the time may regret the part they played in Iraq and the history books will document the consequence of his involvement. Powell though was a better person than Trump full stop, he died, people should acknowledge that commentary on his past actions can wait a week or two.
What about the " civil discourse" that led to the deaths of a million Iraqis.
@HTR Productions While he may not deserve respect his loved ones do. Facts do not change for waiting a few days, boohooing grief is ugly on any person.
Collin. Powell took the fall for his President
And he never said " i am perfect " that would be TRUMP.
Typical narracist behavior.
Hey Anna, I am a fan but I am not feeling you on this one. The man did try to serve with honor, he was clearly mislead by Cheney and Rumsfeld, and later admit that he made a mistake.
The annoying orange dodged the draft, wasn't the son of immigrants, got his education with daddy's help, etc. Colin Powell would have annoyed the hell out of the thin skin, mango man!
Let's Go Brandon 👍
Trump never asks, "for whom the bells toll", because everything it's always about "him".
I can hardly wait for the bells to toll for Trump 😄.
At least let his body get cold. That's what compassionate human beings do. Have you ever heard of that. You can talk crazy about him tomorrow
You say crazy as if it's not true. Death is a fact. He will be just as dead if his body is still warm or if it is still cold. Why do people use that ad a point to make them seem less compassionate? Would you say that same for the many horrible dictators throughout history?
Nah. . . He didn't wait for real confirmation to kill millions of people, he deserves nothing.
May God forgive you TRUMP for your immense jealousy ohhhhhhhhh and your BIG MOUTH!!!!! Rest In Peace Mr Colin Powell🙏🏻
At least he was man enough to own his mistakes and not blame others. He showed remorse. He was humble. Not a jackass following a jackass and a coward. He was big enough to say he was wrong and not pass the buck. He is a bigger man than orange head. Rest peacefully, Brother Powell.

_Hope that happens to me someday_ Only Trump could make someone else's death about himself within 12 hours of it occurring lol
I hope it does too -- someday soon.
That's the thing that was truly disgusting. I don't care about Powell, but Trump trying to hijack the occasion is just gross.
Powell was a warmonger. Plain and simple. As a Desert Storm/Somolia vet, I refuse to aggrandize or eulogize warmongers living or dead. My heroes are humanitarians, not those who lie purposefully for financial and/or political gain.
I thought Colin Powell was fed lies and didn’t know about it from the likes of Rumsfeld and Cheney. And even you guys are disagreeing right in front of me here. What’s the truth?
He should have done due diligence instead of trusting those scumbags if that was the case. Some people do so little to find out the truth that they are just as culpable as the liars.
You the man with intelligence., thumbs up to you.
Remember though, he was AGAINST the war in Iraq. He should have quit at that point to maintain his reputation.
Yeah, he still lied, a million people died. You can't argue with those facts.
@@discocorco Yes, he was part of the Bush administration...DUH! We elect killers to the White House -- of either party! -- but we expect them to govern as peacenicks! SAAAPRISE!!!!
Trump is the perfect example that you cannot polish a turd & present it as a diamond
What an uncaring thing to do . He is just a jerk.
People have made this complex when it isn't. Colin Powell was a SOLDIER. So point blame wherever...but is it really him at fault?
They know but they are closeted racists practicing their American tradition.. throwing dirt on black people to cover up the faults of white people..
I always enjoy when Ana and Cenk bicker, because it shows how two people with mutual respect can bicker and fight, passionately, even raising their voices at each other, without breaking the relationship. Creativity comes from such conflict.
Can you illuminate the martial and civic qualities of Trump that entitle him to opine on a serious and intelligent policy initiator and problem solver?
Powell admitted and disowned his own policy mistakes without hubris.
He served his country to the best of his ability. Trump, neither warrior or statesman has not.
When someone dies, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
Colin Powell’s job was not to be “loved “ by other countries. He served his country in the military to protect this country.
First show of TYT i have ever felt uncomfortable watching and listening. A simple R. I. P General Powel would have been enough.
A war criminal
Anna was also correct about Bernie being silenced because he is a threat to corporate greed.
These two clucked and burped arguments toward one another without once talking about how the guy they hate has absolutely zero class and is a huge hypocrite. I mean if he thought the wars were so bad, why
did he do little to nothing to end it? Powell was just the face people trusted to promote the inevitable. This segment was entertaining but lacked any nuance or depth because they started barking at one another over Progressives who constantly lose and excusing the crassness of a man-child narcissistic simpleton.
Diaper Donnie needs a diaper change since Melania ain't doing it any more.
Wow his body isnt even cold yet
"Being the first to attack other Republicans",,, well, that is rich coming from Trump.
I understand he made mistakes, but he admitted to it unlike others. I don't think anyone is perfect, but the ability to admit and take accountability is the key difference. Especially since he can't change anything now. Bottom line is the US states man - Colin Powell is dead. May he RIP
Trump doesn’t care one bit that Colin Powell was a warmonger. He’s dissing him because Powell gave interviews in which he talked against Trump. Don’t give Trump credit for throwing another selfish tantrum.
Damn, he didn't even let the body get cold before spitting out his commentary.
Trump isn't an honest actor. He's not criticizing Colin Powell for his mistakes on Iraq because the criticism is justified, his criticizing him cuz of some grudge he's holding
stupidest comment I’ve ever read. Like state propaganda bot level pathetic
Seriously grow up if that’s honestly your mentality
Trump literally turns my stomach every time he opens his mouth.
Call them as they are, however NOT when someone dies. The people who love that person are in pain and grieving their loss. Give them the space by not critiquing the dead at that particular time.
Still, it is digusting to hear that was Trump's condolence, regradless what Powel legacy is!! There's another time for that, but for now respect his family..... he was a husband, a father and grandfather to someone..... RIP
Donald we hope that you get the nice treatment too. Soon.
Lol
Never soon enough. . .
Colin Powell has throughout his life and military and political careers… carried out himself with DISTINCTION… both in the George H W Bush and George W Bush administrations …he was caught in a TOXIC environment under the junior Bush’s administration… that led him to compromise his ethical standing… it was a HOBSON’S CHOICE dilemma… and as loyalty demands… he followed his orders in the military tradition… “do or die”… because he was brought up in the military…despite this tarnish to his reputation… he is a decorated hero and commands deep respect by all people, at home and abroad… history will always remember him…it is therefore, unfortunate that Trump could be so thoughtless and tactless to pick this sad moment to compare himself to Colin Powell…by SHOOTING FROM THE HIP with his smart comments… as usual no consideration to the family and friends of this GREAT AND HUMBLE MAN… it is certain that Trump will be remembered for his NOTORIETY in the footnote of history… without doubt!
People who don't understand the military can say whatever they want, but I served under Gen. Colin Powell he was a man of honor and he regretted that moment in history.
Ok so we have always known about Colin Powell and his wrong doings especially in my community, but what's the point now? He's dead....Just acknowledge the death and move on.
Blame him for the war like he was president keep that same energy when Bush pass away ...
Disagree with Ana, on her thoughts on, Powell . I do not believe he was aware that the information given to him was not accurate.
OF COOOURSE Powell knew it was ALL LIES , Heck ,he admitted it in interviews after the fact .
"Worse decision I have ever made " , the United Nations speech , which sold the Iraq invasion to the United States and the World .
He admitted that both Cheney and Bush told him to make that speech at the U.N . or resign right there and then .
Powell sold out his Honor , Duty and Country, for LIES by a War Criminal President and his Administration .
He was well aware, as Pence was when making such claims. I do commend his desire t o be more mindful when making his political stances public, following afterwards.
@@town_biznessman380
Right .
When Powell was out of power and couldn't do squat .
He was just trying to Whitewash his destroyed reputation and total lack of Honor .
@Lock him up Lock him up
You need to look up the phrase :
Duty , Honor , Country means .
Powell , in the end , had NONE of that , he flushed that all down the toilet working with and colluding with , a War Criminal President and his corrupt Administration.
@Lock him up Lock him up
Big deal , minor spelling error.
My point still stands .
Oh God please let me give Trump's eulogy.
He was told to make those statements , I remember how uncomfortable he was speaking at the UN , he knew, Bush pushed him , he was a good man , we all make mistakes , Colin deserves better then this..
Just bc he wasn't as bad as Bush doesn't mean he was good, he willingly sold his soul to play with the elite
Me, too. TYT gets it wrong here. At the time, even the UN believed Saddam had WMDs. So that part was a MISTAKE, not a lie.
Also, Powell was against going in, especially without a good exit strategy.
He did think taking it to the UN was better in the hopes they could provide a _diplomatic_ solution. But I don’t think he was expecting the script Cheney’s office produced.
The big lie was that Saddam Hussein was somehow connected to Osama bin Ladin. That is what Cheney and his goons were trying to sell. Paul knew there was a concern that there because the speech was sent back to the CIA twice to double check. Twice they removed the language that made the tie between the two leaders.
So it was a surprise to Powell and to the CIA that Cheney went with his version instead of the version that they had authorized.
Frontline interviewed all many involved including Powell who doesn’t discuss that part a lot. But the CIA analyst gives the full story.
New low for Trump
Others may have given Colin Powell a good send-off in spite of all his faults but Trump didn't. He took that opportunity to highlight his faults.
In the same sentence, he says he expects to get the same kind of send-off. I think he deserves the same kind of send-off he gives others.
Trump couldn't clean Colin Powell's boots!

Trump is not a Political Correctness fool. He's worse.
I'd like some data backing up what you've said about Powell. Powell's doctrine included war as only a last resort. That's not being a war monger. I also though that Powell, in his speech to the United Nations about WMD in Iraq, was relying on data provided to him that was represented to him as being reliable. That data proved to be completely bogus and there were at least two notable persons, Mohamed ElBaradei, then Director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Scott Ritter, a UN weapons inspector, who said as much. Mr. Ritter was much more blunt than Mr. ElBaradei but Mr. Ritter didn't hold such an esteemed position. Mr. Powell mistakenly trusted the data but I don't think it's accurate to say he "knowingly" lied about it Finally, didn't Cheney admit that it was he who authorized "enhanced interrogation" a.k.a. torture? Powell wasn't perfect. No one is. I think you're mischaracterizing at least his term as secretary of state. Can you provide documentation to back up these claims?
I am no Republican. I vehemently disagree with a truly astounding number of things that they stand for. But, I’m not a Democrat either. This sort of thing is why I am an independent and shall always be independent. It is distasteful to piss on a man’s grave when his body isn’t Even in the ground yet. It’s just not done. Colin Powell was no saint. But, it cannot be denied that he did inspire many people to strive for success. He was not perfect. Nobody is. To refrain from criticizing him and from listing all his mistakes when he died is not holding him up on a pedestal. It’s just simply reverance for the dead. Go after him while he’s alive like that Iraq veteran confronted George W bush. Excoriate him while he has the ability and the means to defend himself or answer for his misdeeds. Lay bare all his sins for all to see if you must. But, once a man dies, some respect ought to be afforded the fact that human life has ended. To do otherwise is tantamount to going up to a sick person in a hospital bed and physically assaulting them or torturing an invalid. The tendency of so many people on the left to do this sort of thing turns a lot of people off and sends them into the arms of those who do not vote in their best interest and the country as a whole suffers for it. Peoples morals and values matter. They just do. You may not agree with them, you may not share them, but, it does not mean that they are not valid and that they are not there.
Colin Powell earned the rank of a Four Star General, was the Joint Chief of Staff, and was Secretary of State. You respect those accomplishments.
AMEN
And led America into an pointless war. Those accomplishments don't cover that. He lied to stay in the good ole boys club.
Thank you for saying that. He should be able to get at least one day of respect regardless of mistakes.
@@TheJapan38 Colin Powell didn't gather the intelligence himself. It was provided by the CIA and other intelligence agencies. He made his statements based on false information he was given.
@@iancampbell1316 THANK YOU! But of course Ana got it wrong and everyone is believing her BS.
That response by Trump is disgusting and anyone who agrees with that statement is disgusting. My mom always told me "If I don't have anything good to say, keep my mouth shut" and that statement definitely holds true in every form here.
