Colin Powell, trailblazing soldier and statesman who made case for 

Iraq invasion, dies of Covid at 84

Colin Powell, the trailblazing soldier and statesman, has died from Covid complications at the age of 84.

Powell, who was fully vaccinated against Covid, had several underlying conditions. He had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease and had been treated recently for multiple myeloma, according to a Powell family spokesperson.

FWIW, I always thought that he, not Barack Obama, was best positioned to be the first African-American president.

He had lots of respect, from many places across the political spectrum.

Then he fronted for the Bushies in their desire to mount a Forever War.

His lies cost him, in any political aspirations he might have had, and, more importantly, the respect given to him, respect he would have needed in any political office.
