Technically, you're correct. Powell, himself, didn't plagerize. And I'm sorry if in some of my writing I gave that impression, although I don't think I ever directly attributed this to him. If I did so, I did so mistakenly. But, still, there's the key question: Where does the buck stop on this one? Indeed, Powell had a special responsibility, in that kind of a forum, on that kind of a subject, with so much hanging in the balance (lives), to present completely accurate and true information, particularly when he was passing same off as "intelligence." Sadly, although brilliantly presented, he didn't fare much better on the other aspects of his presentation. Was some of that also conjured or prepared by someone else? If so, who? Introspectively, I'm sure Powells feels deeply disappointed. You do know he'll have to soon resign, as quickly as he is able to find a way to distance himself from the hold of the Bush cabal. Brumar, tell me sincerely. Are you getting a feeling that this war isn't all that it's been cracked up to be? And on a side note, please know I appreciate your contributions to this thread. Yours are among the very best in support of the position you've taken and you present them in such a well-mannered way. My compliments to you.

>>>HAMZA: I would like to see the Iraqi opposition better trained, some two or three thousand persons, trained and sent back into south Iraq, and supported by U.S. Air Force, no U.S. troops, just Air Force, doing what it is doing now, but a little more intensely. By watching Saddam's troop movement and making them stay in their box, is all that's required right now. Just send the Iraqi opposition trained militia, and support them there. That's the only thing we need now. That's the official position right now of the Iraqi opposition, they want to be supported this way, with some resources provided, say food and some equipment. Minimal cost opposition. Much less than is being done in Afghanistan right now, for instance. This way, the U.S. would eliminate the major terrorist government in the Middle East right now, probably the world." The above statement from Hamza is ominously identical to positions expressed by former CIA Chief Woolsley, Deputy Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz, and other hawks calling for Iraq's regime change.<<< scoop.co.nz Brumar, do you really want to see 42 percent of Iraq's population, children under the age of 15, having the most horrendous weaponry earthkind has devised, raining down and those young souls raising upward--this on the basis of false and misleading information, as presented by both Bush and Blair administrations?
