Colin Powell's Big War Lie about UN Resolution 1441

[AGENDA21]

Colin Powell has been lying when he claims that the members of the security council intended UN Resolution 1441 to be a call for war.

The first draft of 1441 authorized member states to use "ALL NECESSARY MEANS" to restore international peace and security in the area. But not all members wanted an automatic war resolution.

"Objections from France, and Russia saw the final resolution remove any reference to "all necessary means" replacing it with a much softer line that Iraq will "face serious consequences" after the Security Council has met to "consider the situation"."1 It was clear to those writting the Resolution that it does not authorize war.

4. Thanku for the nice welcome.

Its not a new lie..its one which rarely gets talked about at all.

Colin Powell Quote:

"I can assure you if he doesn't comply this time, we are going to ask the U.N. to give authorization for all necessary means"

They had to come back for the second resolution,but as we now know they didnt!
