RIP.
I'm sure he had children or something. Must not mention anything he's done.
Lied for his masters. If he sought forgiveness for it while alive then RIP, otherwise whatever.
R.I.P and thoughts to his family.
Take it away @DJ Jeff
Will be remembered for his weird pronunciation of the name Colin.
Not his biggest fan, from it far, but I wish him a recovery speedy
Just job his doing
You should at least put the guy's name in the thread title so people will know who the feck you're talking about.
I think his exacts words were it was a “blot on his Record”
Yep, that’s exactly what I say when I step in dog shit, just ‘a blot on my shoe.’

Lockheed Martin and Halliburton stake holders say RIP.
Took me a while to get who it was from the title.
Should have been tried for war crimes. He was a cnut.
Good excuse to post this article though -

RIP We just killed the club
The whitewashing is strong on cnn, no mention whatsoever of the UN lies.
meh
Only the good die young. 
Well it's a ripe age to die.
From the information I read he asked the CIA for double confirmation and the VPs office and they made the speech he gave.
As a diplomat I don't think he could have done anything else at that time when Intelligence gave him those information.

Great general. If he had died before 2003 his obituary would have read a lot different.
Mediocre SoS.
The Iraq war is a blot on his record, the same way it's a blot on Cheney's, Rumsfield's, Dubya's, etc.
The sham presentation at the UN was something he would have never done, but the US was going into Iraq with or without it.

It's like that old joke about the villager having saved the town when it flooded, then he saved the horses from the burning barn, then he saved the orphans from a hurricane, but he sucks one cock and now everyone just remembers him as a cocksucker. Colin, you were a cocksucker who lied us into war, when you knew the people around you were interested only in looting Iraq and causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. You enabled Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Card, Wolfowitz, and Bremer to go off on this venture that caused death and destruction while letting the real culprits of 9/11 get away. You had one job, and you sold your soul when it really mattered.
What’s this story?
Very true, I'd have had to title the thread 'My Lai massacre and Iran-Contra apologist dies.'
He was involved in the My Lai massacre? Or he excused it?
Could have resigned. He knew it was bullshite.
Yoooo
As a major he investigated a letter about abuses by US soldiers. It wasn't specifically about My Lai but it was around that time.
Okay, let's play devil's advocate here. Did he have no other choice than to believe the intelligence he was given? Or was he aware of how faulty the intelligence was?
In other words, was he truly just a messenger or was he a participant in the deceit?
