Wilkerson: 'Greatest regret is not resigning'
President Obama is giving his second Oval Office address Tuesday night, to mark the withdrawal of US combat troops from Iraq. Colin Powell delivered a speech seven years ago that declared Iraq had obtained chemical weapons, biological weapons and nuclear stockpiles. The speech convinced the US to declare war, of course later it was found that there were no weapons. Lawrence Wilkerson, the former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, says that Colin Powell was reluctant to deliver the speech and former Vice President Dick Cheney convinced him to deliver the speech.
