Oops, My Bad
How foolish Secretary of State Colin Powel must feel. After sitting in front of the UN holding up "show and tell" pictures for the world to see how dangerous Saddam Hussein is, he now has to own up to there not really being any WMD in Iraq. Says the BBC:
Quote:
US Secretary of State Colin Powell has conceded that Iraq may not have possessed any stocks of weapons of mass destruction before the war last year.
His comments came after the former head of the US weapons inspection team, David Kay, said he did not believe there were any weapons stockpiles.
Mr Powell was speaking on his way to the former Soviet republic of Georgia
This is sharp contrast to Dick Cheney who still insists that there were/are weapons in Iraq. Clearly somebody is telling a fib on the obvious level as " I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
Except this time 500+ US troops are paying with thier lives for this lie. Where oh where are the "independent" prosecutors when you need them.
