Powell, on the other hand, may just be stupid enough to believe them.
So let me get this straight: BUSH is the one who called it a "humiliation" but that's OK because there is probably stuff going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. So, basically, he's making a determined bad call ON PURPOSE, but that's OK. Nothing to see here, folks! Bush knows exactly what he's doing. Move along!
Powell, who isn't even mentioned here, by the way, gets slammed for being dumb enough to believe what the President knowingly misrepresented.
Huh?
Bush on numerous occasions has said that he supports the creation of a "Palestinian" state and the roadmap.
