I see that our old friend – and serial liar – Lawrence Wilkerson is back at it again. Wilkerson’s head was so far up Colin Powell’s ass that he could have given his kidneys a hickey.
“Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s memoir, “In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir,” is out Tuesday, and it’s full of criticism and attacks on his Bush administration colleagues — from describing Condoleezza Rice as “tearfully admitting” he was right on the war in Iraq to revealing private conversations with George W. Bush on the eve of the Iraq war.
He reserves much of his ire for former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and now Powell and his longtime aide and chief of staff, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, are attempting to set the record straight. In no uncertain terms. Cheney, Wilkerson told ABC News, “was president for all practical purposes for the first term of the Bush administration” and “fears being tried as a war criminal.”
In his memoir, Cheney claims Powell undermined President Bush. “It was as though he thought the proper way to express his views was by criticizing administration policy to people outside the government,” Cheney writes, adding that he encouraged Powell’s removal from the administration after the 2004 election, writing Powell’s resignation “was for the best.”
And it was. Powell is another piece of work. Let’s not forget that the so-called “outing” of Valerie Plame came from Powell’s office via Richard Armitage. In fact, though hard to trace, I believe Powell was behind the whole Plame Game as a payback for what he felt was being “set up” when he gave his now infamous speech to the UN in the lead up to the Iraq War. Acccoring to many sources who worked with the State Department at the time Powell was hell-bent on returning the favor and ordered leaks to the media – especially damaging leaks – during the 2004 election.
Powell’s actions were no less than treason during a time of war. War criminal indeed. Powell, his butt munch Wilkerson and Armitage, and their minions like Carl Ford did more to damage our foriegn policy and war effort than any group in history. They were the true “Cabal”.
More of this will be contained in The Plame Game, coming soon.

1I remember Richard Armitage, after Scooter Libby had been convicted, telling a reporter that the morning of Novack’s article, Armitage called Powell and told his boss he thought Novack was taking about him (Armitage). He was very specific, saying he even woke Powell up as it was very, very early in the a.m and he wanted Powell to know who had leaked Plame’s name to Novack before Powell headed off to work.
As the Wasting Time Post and the New York Slimes already had Karl Rove, and then Dick Cheney, frogged marched out of the White House being cuffed and stuffed, Powell was fully aware of the truth.
But for me it got even worse the other night. Marc Thiessen said on TV that he remembers a press conference President Bush held, with the players persent, including Powell, telling reporters he would get to the bottom of it. Thiessen said that never did Powell go to his boss, then POTUS George Bush and fess up to Armitage, allowing Bush to give that presser when Powell knew the truth.
Powell later claimed that he was sworn to secrecy by Fitzgerald. So, now we have two people who knew the truth, prior to the Libby prosecution, that let the POTUS twist in the wind for political gain and they managed to destroy the career of a pretty good man, Scotter Libby. Both Fitzgerald, and Powell, should have been brought up on charges. I don’t know what kind, but I am sure I could find something. And what kind of man who has such a high and valued office allows the POTUS to take hard political hits for months just to gain some form of pay-back? Someone whose only interest in life is his own personal fame and not the interest of the nation or the office he served.
Now Powell is trying to rehabilitate his image and that is going to be damn hard to do.
