Powell
Goldberg-
You ask why Powell's speech isn't cited more by administration critics. Simple - because Democrats live in a fantasy world where Colin Powell is on their side. They want to believe, for some reason, that he has been fighting the administration for years, that he agrees with Democrats on most issues, etc. But he hasn't - he obviously agrees with Bush on many things, as evidenced by this speech. Nobody wants to go after Powell - he is probably the most popular figure in Washington, even now. I wish Democrats would just accept that he isn't on our side, and probably never will be.
This would be more appropriate in the comments section, but I can't seem to post comments now.
