Powell

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a longtime Republican, is sticking with President Barack Obama in this year's election.

     
Colin Powell - UN 'WMD' Speech Which Led To Iraq War
This is the speech which ended Powell's flagging political career. 

He was used as the voice of reason as the US attempted to prove - with a mixture of lies and falsehoods - that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. 

 We now know that WMD's did not exist in Saddam's Iraq before the US-led Iraqi invasion, and this video has come back to haunt Powell because of this now well-known fact. Watch a man's credibility slip away over this painful retrospection, as the death warrants are effectively signed for over a million innocent Iraqi men, women and children, at the United Nations HQ in New York.
