Colin Powell Dies
As a General, Powell helped plan the invasion of Panama, served as National Security Advisor to Ronald Reagan during the collapse of the Soviet Union, and, most memorably, led the military into its first major post-Vietnam conflict, the 1991 Gulf War in Kuwait and Iraq as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was named to that position by President George H. W. Bush and remained there under President Bill Clinton. He was George W. Bush's Secretary of State for four years, including through 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq. As America's top diplomat, Powell engineered the so-called "coalition of the willing," a term used often by Bush to refer to the 31 nations that participated militarily in toppling Saddam Hussein.
Powell died, his family said, of complications from a COVID-19 infection and he had received COVID-19 vaccinations.
