OnEdit: Mods, I'm sorry if I broke the "no action items" rule. I'm not sure if the "no polls" rule means you're not supposed to start a poll, or that you're not supposed to post info on a public poll. My intuition tells me that it's the former, but if I'm wrong, I won't be offended if you delete or move this post. Thanx

4. still 50-50

Amazing that 50% of the people have such short memories. Was not WMD the excuse Bush used to get us involved with this fiasco? Hmmmmm!

5. I wonder if 50-50 is only an anomaly...

...due to the fact the poll just started. But believe it or not, I'm pretty stunned -- I would have thought many more would have voted "No". Maybe people are only reading the first half of the question...

Powell Refutes Think-Tank Report on Iraq

January 8, 2004 03:23 PM EST


WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Colin Powell acknowledged Thursday that he had seen no "smoking gun, concrete evidence" of ties between Saddam Hussein and the al-Qaida terror network, but insisted that Iraq had had dangerous weapons and needed to be disarmed by force.

At a State Department news conference, Powell disagreed with a private think tank report that maintained Iraq had not been an imminent threat to the United States. And the secretary defended the case he had made last February before the United Nations for a U.S.-led war to force Saddam from power.

"My presentation ... made it clear that we had seen some links and connections to terrorist organizations over time," Powell said. "I have not seen smoking gun, concrete evidence about the connection, but I think the possibility of such connections did exist and it was prudent to consider them at the time that we did."

Three experts at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said in a report Thursday that the Bush administration systematically misrepresented a weapons threat from Iraq, and U.S. strategy should be revised to eliminate the policy of unilateral preventive war.
