A true patriot knows that a baseless war causing harm and death to millions of innocents and soldiers alike, destabilizing an already fragile region, and costing billions of dollars is a true threat to our National Security and that is something to be truly concerned about.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has told the Mainichi he believes the Iraq War -- which began while he was in office in 2003 -- could have been averted.

Powell also stated during an Aug. 24 telephone interview that he regretted the false intelligence that led the United States to claim the Saddam Hussein regime possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMD), which Powell presented to the United Nations and which underpinned the U.S. case to invade Iraq.

"I will always be seen as the one who made the major public presentation of that intelligence. I regret that it was wrong but, at the same time, we had every reason to believe it was correct," Powell said of the false WMD evidence.

Or you can worry about petty shit like what kind of car people are driving....

Looks like this made it into the mainstream media :rolleyes:
