Colin Powell has spent most of his life as a leader. He’s a retired four-star general and served as National Security Advisor and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. His new memoir is filled with advice on succeeding in the workplace and beyond. But Powell is still dogged by his tenure as former President George W. Bush’s first secretary of state. He had misgivings about invading Iraq, but agreed to make the administration’s case for war in a speech at the United Nations. Much of what he said is now known to be based on false information. Diane talks with Powell about his storied career and his thoughts on political leadership today.

Powell tried his best to cover up My Lai. He's a shill pig in my opinion, why waste time on him. He'll eventually go away if everyone ignores him. He's a rich war profiteer, he should just STFU and drift away into nothingness, why do we still have to hear his phony opinions? He's nothing (other than an enabler to war crimes). If he admits to his complicity in the murder of 500+/- innocent people maybe I'll listen to him. Oh and he is a Christan, explain the coolness of murder from a Christan standpoint,
