[Bobbisox1]

I always thought he was clear and concise when facing the worlds media over the invasion of Iraq ,but Covid got him in the end , one of life’s gentleman

hmmm - let the dead be silent

He had a long and comfortable life and caused a huge amount of suffering to the world through his involvement in the Iraq war... he lied to the UN about WMDs and was never held accountable for his actions... never wished any ill on him but let's not pretend this was some nice old man who never harmed a fly!!

[murraymints]

sad to hear this..he seemed to be a conscientious chap and of integrity

[Peter Pedant]

despite Bobbi's strictures about saying nice things or acking shut up,

de mortuis nil nisi bonum

the obituarists ( the people who write about dead people for er a living silly) have been suitably... restrained

His admission that the weapons of mass destruction were a blot, was to head off others alleging he was full of it. - he was a bit limp about going to war because he knew he would lose his job....

so all in all
he had a better life
than we did because of him
and much better than the Iraqis did

A gob of a yank, won't miss him one bit.

//…but Covid got him in the end//

//I was pointing out a fact, Powell had both jabs but still died of covid.//

You could say that. However….

“[Colin Powell]…was 84 years old and had multiple myeloma, a blood cancer in which malignant plasma cells overtake the space usually reserved for normal plasma cells that fight off infections. His cancer may have left him particularly susceptible: Not only does multiple myeloma rob the body of its ability to resist infections, but it also can interfere with a vaccine's efficacy. Research on multiple myeloma patients published in the journal Nature in July found that only 45 percent developed an “adequate response” to Covid mRNA vaccines.”

"Patients are not only vulnerable to being infected in the first place even despite vaccination, but when they become infected, their immune system is so dysfunctional that they get the worst of both worlds," he said.

So really, just about anything might have done for him at any time. Which is the case with a vast number of “Covid” deaths.

the judges never give up
at 84, yes, he cd have died from a stroke, covid, rabies or being run over

but if he is dead, then it makes no sense to say he didnt die from any of these. Nor even woogy-woogy disease, he's just dead. No cause at all, and certainly NOT covid

we live in a rational world when we arent on AB !
