Colin Powell did not admit to lying — he said, instead, that he was misinformed, and what he said to the UN at the time was honestly sincere. (If you’ve seen him discuss it, you could see the anger and disgust behind his face. But as an officer and a gentleman, in the true sense of both words, he will not allow it out.).I’ve always thought it was a great pity that he firmly declined running for president — he, and our country, missed an opportunity for something better.
