and since he gave a presentation before the UN shortly before the
invasion detailing suspected WMD programs, we can safely assume you
took his quote out of context

No, the reference cited provides the ENTIRE context, so I
suppose "we" should assume you didn't even read it--
probably because you're not really interested in the facts,
are you?

and we can safely assume you've never SEEN collin powell's
presentation and don't even know he gave one.

Regarding Powell's later presentation-- as you say-- "detailing
suspected WMD programs," let's be clear about the facts:
no such weapons have been found and Powell's earlier
statement is the more correct assessment.

thus proving the radical idea to the far left that hindsight is 20/20.
if you had proof that powell was wrong, why didn't YOU present it at
the time? why didn't the french? the germans? the UN itself?

answer: because everyone's intelligence stated that the WMD's existed.
that's what hussein's scientists told HIM because they were stealing
the money he was spending on WMD's.

oh. the far left believed that hussein was a man of honor and always
kept his word. you guys actually believed that fascist because the
alternative was to accept bush's view.

and, again, you're revisionists...liars to be blunt. the issue was not
WMD's. it was whether hussein was complying with UN resolution 1441.

you lefties are always trying to use hindsight to predict the future.
that's why the left is dead in western society.


To save you having to read the whole thing, the entire paragraph
quoted from is below-- but I bet you still don't read it!

I imagine you'll just post another ad hominem attack-- because
that's easier for you, heh!

Secretary Powell:

again, you ignore the fact...as the left does when it re-writes
history...that powell gave a presentation to the UN detailing the
status of intelligence at the time.

thanks, however, for trying to use POST liberation info to judge what
people knew PRIOR to the liberation.


try again, geoff. the BBC is a loser. and so, of course, are you.
