I only met GEN Powell once when he briefed us in the DAO at the AmEmbassy-Bonn while SecState Baker was meeting with Amb Walters just prior to beginning offensive operations in GW1. GEN powell was no-nonsense impressive, and our allies and enemies thought very highly of the honesty and trustworthiness of the GHWB-Baker-Powell team.
So did we.
And so it goes...
