"We cannot afford another two years chatting back and forth between the international community," he said.

"It took two years to go from thinking about sending this to the Security Council and we have not got there yet.

He replied: "They have not yet proved to the world that they are not.

"They have a nuclear program and it's quite clear that for many years that they have moving in the direction - in my judgment - of developing that program to the point where it could turn into a nuclear weapon and a delivery system to deliver it."

Mr Powell said it was "right and appropriate" to refer Iran to the UN and said military action was not being considered as an option, "although you can never rule it out, you can never take it off the table".



In other words that is why I am here dumbie we have to drum up our support for military action. That has always been our goal.

Bowell's secret fluzzies, or some other such deep dark secret, that Bowell don't want to ever see the light of day!

5. Hey Powell -- go fuck yourself. Maybe you and the rest of the
criminals should buy a copy of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

You might learn a couple of things.

6. Attack best armed mideast country to save mideast peace? WTF?
POwell and what army?

Maybe Iran wants a nuke to deter Irsael and its nukes from making a first attack airstrike on Iran like Israel keeps threatening to do.

Israel is acting crazier lately than Iran.

7. And he's asking them to prove a negative again..
"He replied: "They have not yet proved to the world that they are not."

Where have we heard this before, and how did he get to be a general??

8. Did he bring his little vial to brandish about?
Did he have pictures of mobile labs?


I wonder if Powell would care to explain why anyone should ever listen to him ...

9. Where do you get "attack Iran now" from any of that?
Seems to me like he's talking about referring the matter to the UN.

10. I agree with you
That is why I took the liberty to add the (?). I wanted to post it, because I thought he said some interesting things, but I too, thought it was over the top. In fact, I am regretting having posted it at all.
