Talking about the Powell Doctrine

CAFFERTY: Remember the Powell Doctrine? Put enough boots on the ground, a overwhelming force, to win the war and then have a plan for winning the peace.

Whatever happened to Colin Powell?

BLITZER: That Powell Doctrine was rejected by the Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

CAFFERTY: And he's still there?

BLITZER: Yes. Yes, he is.

CAFFERTY: And now, Iraqi civilians are being murdered by overstressed troops. It's working out real well, isn't it?

BLITZER: Jack, thanks very much.


It's only funny because it's true...
