1. RIP.

2. I'm saddened though we disagreed on so much over his many years (but agreed on other

issues, including his support for Obama and his total disdain for the Republican party to follow leading to Trump).

Heartbreaking that despite being vaccinated he was one of the few to succumb to COVID-19.

RIP

7. He had cancer, and that is what caused his death, along with COVID.

6. What does that say about the Rethug Party... yeah, not much.

9. Up to a point he was one their best, until he decided to play good soldier and drum out for the

invasion knowing well that it was not true. He relegated to uphold to his principles, he could have saved the USA and the World from the chaos the Iraq invasion created.

I lost all respect for him, I would have voted for him if he had run for president prior to that infamous moment of his life, and I think he knew it, he always looked sad and ashamed after that.

I hope that knowing his time on earth was short, that maybe he left something written to bring documented clarity to the whole 9/11 and Iraq invasion affair, that could be his legacy, the USA and the World deserve an apology from him, and that could be the best he could have done.

RIP

4. RIP...mostly honorable man who sadly got used by the likes of Cheney and lesser men

Seeing him go against Trump was a better moment for sure.

11. People will use you if you let them use you. He knew better, he did not live up to his principles

There is no excuse for what he did, he could have stopped the invasion on its track but decided instead to lie about it and enable the Bush administration to invade Iraq.

No excuse.

10. In short; the anti vaxxers killed Colin Powell
