Colin Powell has established that he is a liar.
From Buzzflash: His 2/24/01 Press Briefing:

He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors. So in effect, our policies have strengthened the security of the neighbors of Iraq,...

From his speech to the UN 2/5/03

Numerous human sources tell us that the Iraqis are moving not just documents and hard drives, but weapons of mass destruction, to keep them from being found by inspectors.

<snip>


He is in an untenable position. He lied either on 2/24/01 or he lied on 2/5/03. Either way he has no credibility.

btw: the excuse presently being used: "9/11 changed everything" just doesn't wash....he either had or didn't have weapons before or after 9/11.

2. Now he cannot attack his neighbors.
I guess his neighbors were'nt very worried, because they have'nt contributed one dime to the invasion.
