Powell also stands by his UN pre-Iraq war WMD speech even though he was quoted as saying "i'm not reading this. This is bullshit" beforehand.

But of course his credibility is still intact with you neocon lovers so long as it doesn't hurt the President. Hopefully he'll put out his own book once he's no longer beholden to these guys. Then he'll move to your forum of lying digruntled insiders trying to sell books.



This is half-truth, if not an outright lie.

The speech in question was Secretary Powell's presentation before the U.N. regarding U.S. intelligence and satellite evidence of Saddam's WMD program, violation of U.N. resolutions, and Saddam's efforts to hide WMD programs from U.N. weapons inspectors.

The portion that Powell said was "bullshit" he omitted from the speech, and gave only what he felt to be the most reliable intelligence, before the U.N. security council in early February 2003.

It wasn't the entire speech that Powell exclaimed was "bullshit", it was a portion of it. Which Powell omitted.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
