特朗普“自曝家丑”:伊拉克没有“大规模杀伤武器”,我们却打了一仗

7日,特朗普在推特怒怼美国前国务卿共和党人柯林·鲍威尔(Colin Powell)时“语出惊人”,称伊拉克“没有大规模杀伤性武器”,但鲍威尔依然让美国“打了一仗”。

特朗普写道:
Colin Powell, a real stiff who was very responsible for getting us into the disastrous Middle East Wars, just announced he will be voting for another stiff, Sleepy Joe Biden. Didn’t Powell say that Iraq had “weapons of mass destruction?” They didn’t, but off we went to WAR!
鲍威尔是一个真正的顽固分子,他应该为我们卷入灾难性的中东战争而负责,鲍威尔刚刚宣布他将投票给另一个顽固、昏昏欲睡的乔·拜登。鲍威尔不是曾说伊拉克有“大规模杀伤性武器”吗?他们根本没有,但是我们去打了一仗!
鲍威尔在7日公开表示,特朗普“一直谎话连篇”,已经“偏离”美国宪法(has "drifted away" from the constitution),并对美国民主构成危险。
鲍威尔在老布什(George HW Bush)总统期间,领导在伊拉克海湾战争中作战的美国军队,后来在小布什(George W. Bush)总统期间任职国务卿。
Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell has strongly criticized President Donald Trump's handling of anti-racism protests, saying he has "drifted away" from the constitution.
鲍威尔在接受CNN采访时称:
"We have a constitution. And we have to follow that constitution. And the president has drifted away from it."
我们有一部宪法,我们应当遵循宪法,而总统已经偏离了宪法。
Referring to President Trump, the retired four-star general said: "He lies about things, and he gets away with it because people will not hold him accountable."
这位退役的四星上将这样说特朗普:“他撒谎,却不受惩罚,因为人们不追究他的责任。”
