Colin Powell said yesterday his speech last February to the UN Security Council was not based on solid intelligence. A lot of things with the Bush Administration lately aren’t based on solid intelligence.Here’s Powell’s statement to the UN in February of 2003:
“Every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we are giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.”
-Colin Powell to the UN Security Council, February 2003.
I guess there’s no reason to believe Mr. Powell any more.
