Jane Harman, former Congressperson and current president of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, ponders the pressure for yet another Great and Glorious War for a Lie with a Country whose Name Starts with “I.” She recalls Colin Powell’s speech mongering the Great and Glorious War for a Lie in Iraq.

A snippet:

I have no doubt Powell believed what he was saying, but our intelligence turned out to be dead wrong, and I was wrong to vote to authorize the war. Thousands of American deaths and trillions of dollars later, Iraq is still a mess, which has permitted Iran to expand its malign reach throughout the Middle East.

Much later, Powell would call his U.N. speech a “great intelligence failure” and a “blot” on his record.
