<<You're pathetic.>> Powell had to appear 100% confident at the UN if the WH was going to be able to sell the war -- people trust him and the WH badly needed somebody to front this trash about "US intelligence" that people would actually believe. They believed Powell. Did Powell lie? Yes, he lied about the certainty and confidence that he had in the intelligence that was being fed to him. But the people feeding him the baloney should shoulder most of the blame for grossly misleading the American piblic and the world on a matter of the gravest importance -- going to war. He may have filtered out the total bullshit, as he called it, that was being fed to him. But he provided extremely thin evidence and then spoke about his deep conviction that the proof was irrefutable, knowing that it was pretty thin soup he was serving up to justify an invasion of a country that did not attack us and did not pose a threat to us -- despite his bald allegations to the contrary.
