Re: However, when there is a "falling out of thieves" how does one really know who to believe? One is worse than the next. None of them have any credibility. We all know that Secr of State Powell was not gung-ho about the Iraq war, quite the contrary... Yet, as a career officer, Powell wouldn't fail his Commander-in-Chief and dutifully agreed to sell the war to the international community. He insisted, however, on bringing DCI Tenet along to sit next to him as he delivered the US rationale at the UN session. Secretary Powell didn't --and still doesn't-- want to enter History as "the crook diplomat" who bamboozled US and world opinion into waging war on Iraq with dubious WMD reports... So, Powell the trustworthy soldier ain't the kind of guys who jump ship when the (political) weather turns foul --he stuck by his boss (Bush) all along... Yet, that doesn't mean that he's willing to play the fall guy for the Iraq fiasco: the buck stops with the Judeocon cabal and its stooges within US intelligence who pushed it. Besides, Tenet's record is rather poor, starting with the CIA's failure to prevent the bombing of two US embassies on August 7, 1998.... Gus
