The Last Moderate Escapes the Bush

First off I would like to welcome any new listeners to TodaysPodcast.com and thank Adam for the plug on the Daily Source Code.

I hope I don’t disappoint.

Today’s wise words come from Colin Powell the, unfortunately former, Secretary of State.

This quote needs a little setup- On the eve of the war in Iraq President Bush declared he was sleeping like a baby. Powell, a little wiser than the president, having served the US as soldier for 35 years, being awarded the purple heart and founding America’s Promise, a charity that helps children and youth from all socioeconomic sectors in the United States remarked “I’m sleeping like a baby, too. Every two hours, I wake up, screaming.”

I wish the administration had payed more attention to Powell’s nightmares instead of Bush’s consultations with a higher father.
