freeflydrew 0 #1 July 9, 2004 http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6456.htm I wonder if they took information from the CIA in order to draw these conclusions? "In Cairo, on February 24 2001, Powell said: "He (Saddam Hussein) has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbours." This is the very opposite of what Bush and Blair said in public. Powell even boasted that it was the US policy of "containment" that had effectively disarmed the Iraqi dictator - again the very opposite of what Blair said time and again. On May 15 2001, Powell went further and said that Saddam Hussein had not been able to "build his military back up or to develop weapons of mass destruction" for "the last 10 years". America, he said, had been successful in keeping him "in a box". Two months later, Condoleezza Rice also described a weak, divided and militarily defenceless Iraq. "Saddam does not control the northern part of the country," she said. "We are able to keep his arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt."

AndyMan 7 #2 July 9, 2004 I really look forward to reading the book he's eventually going to write... It's hard to imagine, but I once thought Powell would make a great President. Now I can't help but feel he's torpedoed that simply to do his "duty" propping up president Bush. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.
