134. #2 low-point is trashing your own Powell doctrine
Edited on Fri Aug-19-05 05:29 PM by EVDebs
In order to curry favor with Chimpy & Co. Shame on you.

"Essentially, the Doctrine expresses that military action should be used only as a last resort and only if there is a clear risk to national security by the intended target; the force, when used, should be overwhelming and disproportionate to the force used by the enemy; there must be strong support for the campaign by the general public; and there must be a clear exit strategy from the conflict in which the military is engaged."

Apparently Powell wants his honor back. Work harder, Colin. How's about visiting Camp Casey ?
