WP: Iraq Weapons Report Won't Be Conclusive (Mentions Powell Lie)

<snip>

Just yesterday, Democrats seized on comments by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell -- still posted on the State Department's official Web site -- from Feb. 24, 2001, in which he told reporters during a trip to Egypt about the success of decade-old economic sanctions in containing Iraq. In his remarks, which were unearthed by an Australian journalist and broadcast on the BBC in Britain, Powell said Hussein "has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors."

My Republican co-worker's reply to Powell's outright lie?

"I guess he changed his mind." :nuke:
