Conflicts of Interest: Colin Powell’s Career Supporting the War State guest Scott Horton

On Conflicts of Interest #177, the great Scott Horton returns to the show to discuss the true legacy of Colin Powell, who served in many high-level roles during his long career in government. Scott breaks down Powell’s infamous UN speech that swayed millions of Americans to support the Iraq War. However, Powell’s bloody legacy stretches far beyond the 2003 invasion, all the way back to the Vietnam War. Scott explains Powell was wrongly lauded as a successful military leader and then used his faux reputation to sell the American people on war. 

Scott also discusses his take on his debate with Bill Kristol at the Soho Forum.

  1. Saw Scott against Kristol. Scott was, as usual, the master of his topic. Kristol still thinks that he has some credibility left,.

    To be charitable he could have misjudged his opposition, but he looked weak physically, mentally and morally weak.

  2. Noriega was a threat to the Panama Canal. Same as his predecessor Torrijos. Read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. Panama, like Grenada was the second ‘blooding’ of the reformed US military.
