Powell's Iran Intelligence Questioned
They are re-reading the Iraq script word for word. Disgusting.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/19/powell.iran/index.html

"We believe there's solid information to substantiate clandestine Iranian efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction and delivery systems, and this is something we've been saying for quite some time," Ereli said, adding that the United States is on "very very solid ground" in pointing to such efforts.

A senior State Department official also said the department "stands by the information and the conclusion" reached by the information Powell referred to in his remarks.

"Those who have seen it have expressed confidence that, A, it is valid and, B, the critics taking issue with it don't know what they are talking about," the official said. "What the secretary said was backed up by strong information that gives us confidence in his conclusion."

2. A resistance group even
Good god, they've lost me. To tell the truth, I don't even care whether Iran is developing nukes or not. When was the last time they invaded a country??

3. I saw this wording
Reported Somewhere a few months ago and thought same you are right its word for word what they said on the run up to the war with Iraq. I posted a note to the message groups saying in effect it appears we missed the target by a whole country :(

I am so sick of Bush and Company.

6. I wonder if they have their own yellowcake
or if a letter will surface saying they attempted to purchase some from Niger? Seen anything in the news lately about them importing any aluminum tubes? Wonder if they have any balsa wood model airplanes lying around?
