Bushies 'used' Colin, (says Powell's wife)

He let himself be friking used for the power, if we the people didn't believe the deceit and criminalty of the thugs in the White House, He was in a position to know a darn lot more about their lies than we the people, and he demeaned his name by playing their game to go into an illegal war and occupation.
Colin Powell fought the Viet Cong, but he was no match for the Bush administration hard-liners who "used" his prestige to sell the Iraq war to the American people, his wife says.

In "Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell," Powell's wife, Alma, says the former secretary of state was "callously used to promote a war she wished had never happened," author Karen DeYoung writes.

"They needed him to do it because they knew people would believe him," she told DeYoung, an editor at the Washington Post.

Colin Powell, who was interviewed by DeYoung six times at length, expressed reservations about invading Iraq but never considered quitting in protest once President Bush decided to go to war.
