But that just doesn't work out. He knowingly used obviously and provably flawed intelligence to try to get international support for a conflict that he should have known would not have resulted in a stable Iraq. The use of outright lies diminishes America in the international community, and it is idiotic to assume that other nations with their own intelligence services would be as gullible as the people who get all their information from Fox News.


Even if we had won the support of most of Europe and even a few middle eastern nations the results could not have changed. The three factions still would be squabbling for power and would not care how many nations would be involved. The involvement of other nations only provides cover for an idiotic war with little reason or need.

Powell was either a fool or a croney.
