Colin Powell: Joint Chiefs
built 256 days ago
Colin Powell's admirers - especially in the mainstream press - have struggled for almost two years to explain how and why their hero joined in the exaggerations and deceptions that led the nation into the disastrous war in Iraq. Was he himself deceived by faulty intelligence or was he just acting as the loyal soldier to his commander-in-chief?

Colin Powell (1937-present) - Historians say Powell embodies the American dream. From a humble upbringing in New York City, he earned an education and a commission into the U.S. Army's officer corps. He proceeded through the ranks of the Army officer to achieve one of the highest positions in the U.S. military. Powell earned the respect and admiration of superior officers after serving two tours of duty in Vietnam. In 1987, Powell was appointed head of the National Security Council, after holding a number of senior commands. President Bush appointed Powell as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest attainable military post other than the presidency, in 1989.

In the fight to bring down Delaney, Monsanto ... secured the services of the Duberstein Group, the lobbying firm of Ken Duberstein, former chief of staff under George Bush and a close friend of Gen. Colin Powell. Duberstein's outfit is a sterling example of the bipartisan nature of lobbying, since its roster of lobbyists includes former Reagan and Bush administration officials, an adviser to former Vice President Walter Mondale, a former aide to Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott and House Democratic Whip David Bonior's former chief legislative aide.
