Sadly, although brilliantly presented, he didn't fare much better on the other aspects of his presentation. If that were true, you'd have the opposition trying to score points off his presentation. I haven't seen that. What I see instead is an effort to make points off a side mention of the British dossier. And as far as the British dossier is concerned, other than the lack of attribution, nothing has been shown to be incorrect as to facts. Introspectively, I'm sure Powells feels deeply disappointed. He is deeply disappointed by the French and the faction they lead. They lied to him and he told them exactly that Friday to their faces. High drama there. Powell led the faction within the Bush administration that said we should handle the Iraq problem multilaterally. He spent weeks working with the Security Council members hammering out 1441. The resolution was to give Saddam one last chance to comply with the resolutions he'd been in breach of for the past 12 years. Not to continue playing the same hide and seek games that had gone on for 12 years while the Iraqi people suffered. Then the French-led faction stabbed him in the back, flatly refusing to keep their commitments they'd made. 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. Don't bet on it. I read Powell much differently than you. Brumar, tell me sincerely. Are you getting a feeling that this war isn't all that it's been cracked up to be? No. I'm more convinced than ever force will need to be used to solve this problem.
