Tim reflects on Colin Powell's death, calling him the first Black person to sell a big lie to the UN about WMDs, and recounts believing the Iraq War propaganda as a teenager.
- Colin Powell was the first Black person to tell a big lie about Iraq to the UN, and he knew it was a lie.
- Dick Cheney and his crew of goblins got Powell to go in and sell the Iraq war to the American public.
- Tim believed in 11th or 12th grade that the US needed to go into Iraq and democratize the Middle East because people there hated us for being free.
- The Iraq war was supposed to fix problems, pressure Iran, and force anti-democratic regimes to become thriving societies that respect the rule of law.
- Powell went to the UN and gave a convincing speech about Saddam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction, which was a black mark on his career.
