Okay. Who had "impressed" in the Andy Sullivan Powell Speech pool?
Not too suprisingly, Andy was downright impressed with Colin Powell's "I'lied Moment" at the UN.
I just watched Colin Powell's address to the Security Council. More impressive than I expected, especially on the Saddam-al Qaeda linkage. How, I wonder, can anyone now doubt that Saddam is deliberately obstructing the implementation of Resolution 1441? The evidence is overwhelming.
Reading other reports, he is the first that I have read that finds the evidence "overwhelming", but then we all have our own "overwhelm" tolerance levels. Be that as it may, he makes a point that not many Americans have chosen to consider nor has the Bush Administration advertised:
If Saddam has what Powell outlines, then this war could be horrendous. It could lead to massive casualties among American troops and a possible attack on civilians in Europe and the U.S.
Of course, this taps into what the CIA has been saying: attack Saddam and he will use whatever he has. The current administration prefers to play brinkmanship with Iraq, feeling that they will back down. But if they don't, and the US starts a war, and then we start to see horrific attacks on the US "homeland" (as they like to call it), then the blood of innocent Americans will be on the hands of those who put the price of oil and the dream of an American Empire in the Middle East over the good of their countrymen.
We will reap what they have sown...
