Re: "Tributes are flowing in for former U.S. Defense Secretary Colin Powell." 📂 Archived Message Posted by Raskolnikov on October 18, 2021, 9:13 pm, in reply to ""Tributes are flowing in for former U.S. Defense Secretary Colin Powell."" From the fraudian's "key facts from his life": Powell was born on 5 April 1937 in Harlem, New York. His parents were Jamaican immigrants, his dad, a shipping clerk, and his mom, a seamstress. In college, Powell participated in ROTC, a military training program, and was leader of the precision drill team, earning a top rank. While serving two tours during the Vietnam war, Powell was injured in a helicopter crash and rescued by two fellow soldiers. Powell earned several military and civilian awards in his lifetime including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, twice. Powell was the youngest person, as well as the first Black person, to serve as chairman of the joint chief of staff during the George HW Bush administration. From 1937 to 1993 in just a few steps; guess there were no "key facts" in those decades. And then of course... Powell pushed for a swift military response to 9/11 in 2001, and Iraq intervention in 2003. He was criticized for presenting questionable intelligence to the United Nations in a 75-minute speech, which he later called a blot on his record. I wasn't lying through my teeth I was presenting questionable intelligence.
