I think it is naive to believe that Saddam H. doesn't have WMDs

Are you saying you'd rather support an an invasion WITHOUT PROOF of the WMDs in question, since they MUST exist although you have not found any?

I don't buy it.

I am not trying to sell anything.

And while Powell may be a "decent" man, he is also smart and at heart at dove

Whatever his merits, faults, and character traits, the evidence he presented at the UN Security Council was not only flimsy, but as we see now, at least partially false as well.

for him to move to the hawk side has more to do with what he knows than what the president wants him to say.

Oh really? Just how well do you think you know Powell and what makes him tick? Are you willing to risk thousands of Iraqi civilian casualties on the basis of your little analysis here that goes more or less in the lines of "Powell is a nice guy and was not warmongering before, and if he has changed his style than he must know something."???
