Powell loses cool, verbal dual follows in Iraq hearing | The Hindu

[patriotvoice]

The normally courteous US Secretary of State Colin Powell lost his cool during his testimony on Iraq at a Congressional hearing and shouted at a Congressman's staffer who nodded his head when he was talking about US-led war on Iraq, describing the action as "an editorial comment."

2. Things are unravelling....

Just shows that things are starting to worry them. Seems you can only have so many coverups at a time before they begin comming apart.

6. Fuck 100+ dead in Iraq the last few days

and no WMD's anywhere and we get bullshit that "we" were all almost wrong

I hope "we" doesn't mean the millions(that little focus group) that took to the streets opposed to the war

3. Gee whiz

Powell has hidden talents. He is now a mindreader.

4. To be fair to Powell the guy was actually shaking his head, not nodding

But it is still an indication of a case of severe thinskinnedness. Maybe the guy had just gotten back from the pool and was trying to clear the water out of his ears?

5. How unprofessional

Though he could be on drugs and overreacting.

Please continue discussion within these two original LBN threads, which address different aspects of Powell's appearance on the Hill:

Powell Scolds Hill Staffer At Hearing

Powell Defends War, Says He Expected WMD (bristles at AWOL allegations)

Thanks!
