Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has admitted he opposed a key part of Donald Rumsfeld’s plan to invade Iraq. In an interview on British television, Powell said he personally advised Rumsfeld and General Tommy Franks that they were not sending enough troops into Iraq. Powell said “They were anticipating a different kind of immediate aftermath of the fall of Baghdad; it turned out to be not exactly as they had anticipated.”
