He famously made the case for George W Bush that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction
General Powell, who was wounded in Vietnam, served as US national security adviser under president Ronald Reagan from 1987 to 1989. A moderate Republican and a pragmatist, he considered a bid to become the first black president in 1996 but his wife Alma's worries about his safety helped him decide otherwise.
"He was a great public servant, starting with his time as a soldier during Vietnam," the statement read.
Old man dies. Big news
Cancer is now a “Covid complication”.
Or is this a lie? We demand proof. We are sick of his lies.
Powell’s lying and deception before the UN Security Council re weapons of mass destruction will leave him forever condemned.
Fully vaccinated and dies from Covid the thing he was apparently protected from. But of course we get a long list of excuses as to why he died even though he was fully vaccinated. Shame the unvaxxed aren't given the same courtesy by mainstream media
A mass murderer died of covid - silver linings?
Why 'COVID-19 complications'. Because that's what makes headlines? The man was 84 already, vaccinated and past the average male life-span, what other health problems did he have, that the virus is merely a straw that helped break the camel's back? If it did.
mary_tambling63 New spin words. From ‘w underlying conditions’ 2 ‘of🦠complications.’ Similar 2 watching AUS gov squirm it’s way out of destroyers of planet role in2 saviours w Green everything except REAL renewable energy roll out😡🦠killing every baby, infant, child & adult it kills😡+ LONG🦠
Suffered too much🤔
Mass murderer, enjoyed personally setting alight to Vietnamese peasants homes with his zippo lighter. Sad day for the psychopaths
He is 84 🙃
Rip. Wish him learn the proper way of using laundry powder in the other world.
Covid complications, not triggered by vaccine?
Nothing to do with old age .
Isn’t that the guy who lied to the UN to justify the invasion of Iraq?
lol
He died from complications from blood cancer and having Parkinson’s. He was double vaxed and caught covid.
NO HE DIED BECAUSE HE CAUGHT COVID sorry for yelling auspol but I am so over the bullshit and dishonesty by our media regarding deaths Powell would be alive TODAY if it was not for covid
You’d think that there’d be at least a mention of him having cancer in the article, for transparency’s sake!
He was already dying. Covid just took him out thus died from covid.
Of all you rattle on with ABC you fail to properly explain the manor and the actual illness that took this mans life. Simply to state he died of complications and that he was fully vaccinated only encourages the anti-vaxx covidiots to put on the tinfoil hat and rant louder.
The guy was 84. This covid just isn't kind to old people
lol
I’m sorry his family face a loss but he’s a war criminal and his ‘contribution’ in Iraq won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Should have been in a dock at The Hague with the other dregs, Blair, Howard and Bush.
David_Speers Before everyone says the vaccines don’t work he had multiple myeloma—a cancer of plasma cells that **makes antibodies**. Thus, vaccines are weaker in myeloma patients because we kill the cells that make antibodies with our myeloma treatments.
War criminals die from Covid too.
And thousands of Iraqis civilians died of ?
War Criminal
Nice one covid, only, Bush, Howard and Blare to go
Is Iraq celebrating? May he rip but seriously he was a warmonger.
War criminal whose lies led to the death of thousands of Iraqi citizens and many US troops and triggered the perpetual unrest that helped spawn much of the terrorism the world still lives with. No loss to humanity.
Shame
He had cancer
Lots of innocent children died when America falsely claimed weapons of mass destruction were hidden in Iraq - Shock and awe murdered entire street blocks - hundreds at a time America never uncovered WMD - It was false intelligence - Infamous briefings by this man resulted in war
I’m so sorry to hear this… I recall his formidable presence
Karma.
🎉 🎈🥂
They can’t die soon enough. Shouldve been in prison.
Lost all credibility with his speech at the UN..Justice will be served to him now..
Washing powders…..
lmao
😪
RIP....He was also vaccinated....you should also mention that.
Another war criminal bites the dust.
Facts are double jabbed. So why the vaccine. The conundrum
Good riddance to a warmonger who lied to the world and is accountable for 100,000s of Iraqi deaths and destablising the middle east. No doubt he'll get a state funeral and an air craft carrier will be named after him.
Hey ABC I've been tagging you for weeks....get COVAXIN in the US. It is the safest vaccine, proven to NEUTRALIZE delta variant. Get it global, save lives! How many deaths could/can be prevented?! covaxinatetheworld covaxinforthekids BharatBiotech Ocugen
Stop posting misinformation He could not have possibly been fully vaccinated after all you told us for months and months defundtheabc
and fully vaccinated 😬
Died WITH Covid*
Bring vaxed just lowers your chance of fatally succumbing to covid. Doesn’t stop you getting it.
That’s very sad
Hmm so he made the fake case to invade Iraq...resulting in the needless deaths of hundreds thousands of civilians. This war criminal has died from covid.. sounds like justice was not done.
😢
People celebrating a man's death...You may not agree with his politics but celebrating a man's death doesn't speak to your character either.
Hillarious
When there wasn't suicide by gunshot at age 56, we were relying on The Hague. Now, justice is dead.
anyway
Rip war criminal
RIP. I remember watching his briefings on Iraq war. Seems like yesterday.
Justice served
Wasn’t he the man who pushed the BS that Sadam had WMD’S,Good riddance to another War Mongering Yank,I feel more for the innocent civilians killed in Pursuit of those WMD’S,I hope he’s haunted by all of them
He was brought in as the moderate saving grace to the Neoconservative Dubya administration. He could have very well been president had he run in '96 or '00. Instead, his legacy will be that of a collaborator to one of the worst US war crimes of this century.
Teach him for LYING
One word. WMDs. Lest we forget his lying deadly UN legacy ...
