“Say what you want about the invasion of Iraq but” uhhhhhhhh
Yes, Saddam Hussein was bad.
No, the Iraq War wasn’t worth it.
And yes, Colin Powell lied to the UN.

It’s not “politicizing” Colin Powell’s death to point out factual information about things that happened.
Rewriting history to fit partisan allegiance, on the other hand, is.

Fun story about Iraq and “politicizing” death.
ISIS decapitated two American friends of mine on camera, and suddenly the entire world cared enough to militate for war.
Despite, you know… all the dead Iraqi civilians.

If Colin Powell hadn’t lied at the UN to justify the Iraq War — specifically concerning Zarqawi — how many Iraqi civilians would still be alive?
I know several friends, Iraqi and American, would be.
And ISIS wouldn’t have existed.
That’s not “politicization.” It’s history.

I didn’t find my friends’ deaths enjoyable.
Call me biased.

Yes, yes I can.
That’s why the United Nations and US Department of State asked me for my expertise on political violence, terrorism, and the Middle East.

For the record, it wasn’t the “current assessment of the intelligence community.”
It was…wait for it…wait for it…
… a highly politicized group within one agency.

I’m going to mute this thread now, before I get annoyed.
Stating factual information like “Colin Powell lied to the UN” isn’t “politicizing his death.”
Powell HIMSELF expressed — on record — regret.
The End.
