Powell: Iran is going down the exact same path as Iraq

[ECH1969]

COLIN Powell yesterday warned that Iran was heading down the same path as Iraq had done before the 2003 invasion and could not be trusted to tell the truth about its nuclear programme.

The former United States secretary of state said he believed Iran posed a serious threat to the rest of the world in the same way that Iraq had done.

In an interview with The Scotsman, Mr Powell said it was clear that negotiations with Iran had come to a dead end and efforts now had to concentrate on preventing it taking the same path as Iraq had done.

"We are trying to keep it from being that way," he said. "Iraq actually had nuclear weapons capability that they were within a couple of years of bringing to weapons status.

[ECH1969]

11. * told him so as did Cheney

[European Socialist]

2. Yeah, Powell was a real expert on Iraq alright.

[mike_c]

3. here we go again-- if they say they're telling the truth...

...we'll know they're lying. Where have we heard THAT tortured logic before? Colin wants to do an encore performance before the U.N.!

[driver8]

4. Oooohhh...I guess they need to be "occupied", don't they Colin?

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on, you fucking lying sack of shit.

[tridim]

5. Iraq did tell the truth about it's nuclear program

Screw you Powell.

[tuvor]

6. ...with bushco's gun muzzle at the back of their head, of course.

[jazzjunkysue]

7. NOW you tell us!! Thanks. Now that they've got total power.

Great, Colin. Couldn't speak up before they came to power, could you?

Thanks. Colin. You're a great big help.

[leftstreet]

8. Will Colin present the Sesame Street flashcards at the UN again?

[ECH1969]

18. I can see it now

9. Shock and Awe II

Revenge of the Bush

[jimshoes]

10. Got any pictures of mobile

labs or aluminum tubes, yellowcake maybe? I'll be happy when your kind is safely behind bars colin.

[Warren Stupidity]

15. They weren't even pictures.

That lying sack of shit presented power point graphics of some artist's idea of what the stupid mobile bio weapons labs might look like. That piece of 'evidence' was a damn drawing. And our 'librul' media never said a fucking word.

[ECH1969]

19. yup

[Ugnmoose]

12. B.S. its all a currency war

Just like Saddam did in 2000, Iran is going to convert its petrodollars to Euros on March 26th and create a Bourse (exchange) for trading its currency.

[Peace Patriot]

13. You know, I'm more and more convinced that blackmail and extortion are

at work among these people--within Bush junta circles--as well as against Congress critters of both stripes and maybe the lapdog press as well. It's like we're seeing a weird, inexplicable shadow play in the foreground, and we can't see what hands are really moving the puppets (what the puppets are responding to). And, of course, in addition to blackmail and extortion--really putting the spy apparatus screws to people--there are the ordinary means of corruption, the common coin of the Bushites--bribes of various kinds.

The total impact is to create a public discourse that reads like the jabberwocky in "Alice in Wonderland." Upside down, backwards, inside out. Utter nonsense and insanity. The Red Queen painting all the white roses red.

16. "Iraq Actually Had Nuclear Weapons Capability . . ."

they could bring online within two years.

What the hell!?

Like you said, I wonder what they have on him.

[Warren Stupidity]

14. What path is that?

The path where the administration decided to invade Iraq and then made up a bunch of bullshit to con the american public into accepting war crimes committed in their name? That path? Or the path where an essentially defenseless Iraq, doing everything it was asked to do, complying with our demands in every respect, was attacked and destroyed anyway? That path?

What goddamn path is that fucking asshole talking about?

[sweetheart]

17. where i come from, a colon is full of shit

A discredited liar and apologist, i can't see any man
speaking in that gurgling cesspool of sludge.

[ECH1969]

32. yup he is full of ****

[ECH1969]

20. I thought the Iraq was getting nukes crap was debunked some time ago

[stevietheman]

21. So Uncle Tom wants to go to war again?

How did the Bush regime threaten his family this time?

[ECH1969]

24. I think another war is just what Powell wants

[LaPera]

22. Americans need to get it through their fucking heads Iran is switching

away from the dollar in March, and switching to the Euro petro dollars for their oil...

BushCo will not allow it!

They stopped Hussein when he wanted to switch to the Euro selling his oil and accuse Chavez of being a terrorist when he changed oil rich Venezuela to the Euro...

Nuclear weapons are the bullshit excuse, fuck, Israel has plenty of nuclear weapons...why should only they have them?

It's all about the dollar and the Euro, and no way do these BushCo oil fucks want the dollar to become secondary to the Euro!!!

Oil controls the world...Its a matter of trillions of dollars and power.

[upi402]

23. What is * doing to intimidate everyone?

No sooner do they hint at all the bullshit * has pulled, and they switch back and say they lied.

So, which lie are we to buy? I'll go with * is bullshiting us.

[Hardrada]

26. I'd like to know that too.

Is he holding family members hostage or have they had Manchurian chips inserted in their brains?

[leesa]

25. Really... You mean NOT having any WMDs? That path you fuckin

27. Is this muthafucka for real????? n/t

[EFerrari]

28. I didn't know Powell was frickin' DELUSIONAL. n/t

[ECH1969]

34. You got that right

[LynnTheDem]

30. "Iraq had nuclear weapons capability"???! L.I.A.R.

Powell sure is racking up the lies. Wouldn't want his karma.

[USA_1]

31. "serious threat"

The words "serious threat" have been repeated by the Bush regime
and by the Zionist government in Israel. But note how neither group has made any specific references to any such "threats".

Has anyone here heard of or read any claims by the Teheran government that it will attack London, Washington DC, or anyone else?

Why is it that nobody in the news media challenges these warmongers to produce any evidence that Iran has threathened anyone?
