Australia: US press covers for Powell's & Bush lies
Edited on Fri Sep-26-03 06:27 PM by protect freedom impe
quote:

"President Mubarak and I, had a good discussion about...the fact that the sanctions exist .... for the purpose of keeping in check Saddam's ambitions toward developing WMDs. They have worked. He has not developed any significant capability with respect to WMDs. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors."
-- Colin Powell, February 24, 2001

But then 9-11 happened and the BFEE saw their chance to get rich.

Proof they knew Saddam had no WMD

Excerpt:
A report aired on British TV screens last night said Colin Powell and Condi Rice confirmed in early 2001 that Saddam Hussein had been disarmed and was no threat.

But after the 9-11 terrorist attacks, Pilger claimed Rice said the US "must move to take advantage of these new opportunities" to attack Iraq and claim control of its oil.

Pilger uncovered video footage of Powell in Cairo on February 24, 2001 saying, "Saddam has not developed any significant capability with respect to WMD. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbours."

If this accusation had been made against Clinton, NBC would've built two more cable hate channels so Ann Coulter, Chris the Screamer and tons of other Clinton-haters could go ballistic 24/7 saying,
"How could America could allow such a murdering criminal to steal the Oval Office?"

Buit since it's Bush, the American press covers for him and we have to hear of this proof from the Australian press.

wow !

Good Old Bartcop - thanks for keeping the few ( +50,000,000 USA voters) sane in these insane times.


sigh.......I can still remember when Americans voted for their President,
AND they counted the votes.
