Media conspiracy behind WMD story!
Just to set everybody straight - The Thug Cabal didn't lie about WMD, and the media is calling them liars, not the American people. So that settles it. Sheesh.
Powell told reporters that the paper trail and interviews with Iraqis involved in the weapons programs would lead to the discovery of evidence. "I think all the documents that are now coming forward and people who are being interviewed will tell us more about what they have hidden and where they have hidden it," Powell said.
Powell said the media, not the American people, were calling the prewar intelligence bogus.
"How can it be bogus when I can show you pictures of people that were gassed by Saddam Hussein? I can show you reports from U.N. inspectors all through the 1990s that demonstrated that the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction. I can show you reports where the Iraqis were caught lying about their weapons of mass destruction" Powell asked.
There are so many half-truths in that last graf, I completely lost count. Seems as though Powell is saying he can show us everything but those massive stockpiles of WMD he talked about at the UN.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
On Sunday, the Bushies showed they were prepared to shake the dice on a helluva gamble: that they will find WMD. We'll all be watching closely.
