But was there anything in his behavior that suggested he didn’t want the war?

What do you mean you lived it? Were you in the administration?
u/whydoIhurtmore

And that to get him to change his mind, he was threatened, and that threat was enough to cause him to lie and help create the conditions that led to a war based on lies? Is that correct?
u/whydoIhurtmore

If I understand what you are saying, please correct me if I’m wrong, Powell didn’t want to invade Iraq and knew that he was lying. Is that what you are saying?
u/whydoIhurtmore

Okay. So you don’t have evidence of threats. You have a certain level of admiration for him and his life overall. You don’t want him to have ended his career with dishonest and dishonorable behavior. To help with that, you say he was threatened. The simplest answer is correct more often than incorrect. The simple answer is that he knew he was lying, that he did so voluntarily, and was supportive of going to war.
u/whydoIhurtmore

Not at all. I’m fascinated with trying to follow and understand what you are claiming.
u/whydoIhurtmore

This is a very strong argument for dramatically increasing taxes on the rich.

This is so beautiful. How long was the exposure time? How long did they have to hold the pose?
u/whydoIhurtmore

That looks very nice.

That’s cool to know. Thank you.
