More From Colin Powell
- "When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria, you’ve got to be prepared, as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to become the government, and I’m not sure any country, either the United States or I don’t hear of anyone else, who’s willing to take on that responsibility."
- "We got rid of a terrible dictator. We gave the Iraqi people an opportunity for a new life under a representative form of government."
- "I think whether you’re having setbacks or not, the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude."
