Report criticizes administration's assessments of Iraq dangers
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Colin Powell acknowledged Thursday that he saw no "smoking gun, concrete evidence" of ties between Saddam Hussein and the al-Qaeda terror network, but insisted that Iraq had dangerous weapons and needed to be disarmed by force.
Speaking at a State Department news conference, Powell openly disagreed with a private think tank report which maintained that Iraq was not an imminent threat to the United States. And the secretary defended the case he made before the United Nations for a U.S.-led war to force Saddam from power.
Look - Home Depot doesn't sell a shovel deep enough to get you out of this, Colin. You used to be such a credible guy, but now you're just tenaciously hanging onto that anvil after they threw you into the drink. Pity.
