Bush to Powell

Bush to Powell

"The President knows that Powell is the one who doesn't want to go to war. He says, 'Will you be with me?'

And Powell, the soldier, 35 years in the army, the President has decided and he says, 'I'll do my best. Yes, Mr. President. I'll be with you."

And then the President says, 'Time to put your war uniform on.'"
