Powell Admits Intelligence For Attacking Iraq Came From a 9-Year-Old Child

National News
Saturday, April 3, 2004

In an incredible turn of events, Colin Powell admitted to reporters in a press conference this morning that the intelligence they used to make a decision if they should go into Iraq or not came from a 9 year old Iraqi child who was living next to one those alleged "mobile weapon labs".


"We interviewed the kid for almost 10 hours" stated the Director of Central Intelligence, George Tenet,


"His English was not that great though, but we went back and forth and asked him constantly, 'Are you sure kid? Are you positive?' he kept answering yes. So we presented this to Colin Powell and told him that we had definite prove that it's a weapons lab."


"Based on what George Tenet told me, I thought we had enough proof," stated Colin Powell, "Who would have guessed that a 9 year old boy would lie to you? I knew you could not trust those Iraqi's! I'm sorry for going in there. Next time we'll put an age limit on who we interview."
