On July 5, 2009, Colin Powell told CNN said that the policy was " correct for the time " but that " sixteen years have now gone by, and I think a lot has changed with respect to attitudes within our country, and therefore I think this is a policy and a law that should be reviewed.

After Macmillan's death in 1986 Powell said " Macmillan was a Whig, not a Tory ... he had no use for the Conservative loyalties and affections ; they interfered too much with the Whig's true vocation of detecting trends in events and riding them skilfully so as to preserve the privileges, property and interests of his class ".

The Daily Telegraph report of the speech said that " as Mr Powell sat down, he put his hand across his eyes.

" Powell also refused to launch a public inquiry, resisted calls to issue a warning against any left-over thalidomide pills that might remain in people's medicine cabinets ( as US President John F.

The next day Powell, disagreed with the Labour Party leader Michael Foot's claim that the British government was acting under the authority of the United Nations: " The right of self-defence —- to repel aggression and to expel an invader from one's territory and one's people whom he has occupied and taken captive -— is, as the Government have said, an inherent right.

On 13 May Powell, said the task force was sent " to repossess the Falkland Islands, to restore British administration of the islands and to ensure that the decisive factor in the future of the islands should be the wishes of the inhabitants " but the Foreign Secretary ( Francis Pym ) desired an " interim agreement ": " So far as I understand that interim agreement, it is in breach, if not in contradiction, of each of the three objects with which the task force was dispatched to the South Atlantic.

Powell wrote an article for The Times on 29 June, in which he said: " The Falklands have brought to he surface of the British mind our latent perception of ourselves as a sea animal .... No assault on a landward possession would have evoked the same automatic defiance, tinged with a touch of that self sufficiency which belongs to all nations ".

Powell then said there was " the Hispanic factor ": " If we could gather together all the anxieties for the future which in Britain cluster around race relations ... and then attribute them, translated into Hispanic terms, to the Americans, we would have something of the phobias which haunt the United States and addressed itself to the aftermath of the Falklands campaign ".

Powell said that " it would be difficult to imagine a more cynically wicked or criminally absurd or insultingly provocative action ".

Powell said he supposed this to mean " that the Soviet Union, which seems always to be assumed to be the enemy in question, proved so victorious in a war of aggression in Europe as to stand upon the verge of invading these islands ....
