of course he did.. he also wanted thousands and thousands of more troops in there before we did anything like desert storm. Saddam was counting on us not going to war based on France input and others and looking for much larger build up. In invasion was successful no thanks to Turkey who screwed up allowing a large part of the plan to go through their country and come down from the north. Too bad Powell didn't spend more time on how to turn the country over the iraq military etc and do what he should have been doing as secretary of state. Powell was a big disappointment , he didn't want to travel. he delegated more to his subordinates than get into things himself. most of the disruption against the war came from career state folks who had their own interests. Now congress you decide if we pull out , and we are fighting Al Q. per latest tape when do you decide to fight them and where or are we folding up camp , coming home and going to fight them on our own soil. powell knew who leaked the exposing of cia agent yet said nothing. he watch the white house swing. sounds like a get back at bush adm imo

Exposed: Iraq Psy-Ops Campaign A mysterious psychological operations campaign is underway in Iraq, with Muqtada al Sadr's Mahdi Army as its target. In recent days, Baghdad residents report receiving phone calls that caller ID show to be originating from outside Iraq. When the phone is answered, the listener hears a recorded message from an anonymous man speaking formal Arabic. He condemns the Mahdi Army and describes how it destroys Iraqi infrastructure, including electricity. Baghdad residents are afraid to discuss details of the message over phone lines, believing them to be monitored. But an IraqSlogger source tells us the unnerving message left at least one Baghdad woman in tears. Who is responsible for these calls? We'd love to know. Tips?
