Why is Colon Powell showing some remorse for the Iraq debacle, while Cheney & Rumsfeld remain unrepentant?

Update:

@ Texas Patriot: I've noticed the cowardly trend of you sorry sap-suckers trying to justify your mistakes by attaching your excuses to what prior Adm. did, or didn't do at the particular time. But you see, circumstances don't remain static; they change. So, own up to those mistakes w/o trying to indict others for the poor decisions made by your Neo-Con heroes!

Update 2:

@ Naguru: Your vapid response cannot deflect attention from Cheney & Rumsfeld's involvement in what "has been called the largest airborne transfer of currency in the history of the world." And "finding out what happened to all the money involved has become one of the biggest financial mysteries of all time."

    Knowledgeable people always prefer to remain silent. Otherwise media will misquote what they say.

    Cheney and Rumsfeld have farsightedness.

    Powell is a mensch, Cheney and Rumsfeld are disciples of Satan. I don't care if Satan exists or not, but in these 2 excuses for human beings, HE rears HIS ugly head.

    Both have military contractors as beneficiaries. In short they have a finical interest in saying what they say. They are self serving public servants after all.
