[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] [QUOTE]Powells statement was aparently made long before Sept.11,2001 alot of peoples attitudes changed in that time period. This thread was not based on anything that matters in world of today. Words are after all just words. Some have great importance and others do not.[/QUOTE]Mr. Powell's mere words matter a great deal, as words should from Secretaries of State and Presidents. Words spoken by Secretaries of State and Presidents in public forums are indicators of administration policy and as such carry great weight in international and national circles. There are a couple of very important points to be made here. Mr. Powell statement indicates that prior to the September 11th attacks the Bush administration believed Hussein contained, controlled and of little threat to his neighbors. And if Hussein was not a threat to his neighbors, then he certainly wasn�t a threat to the United States of America. So, whence all the hyped-up bleating by the same Bush administration about the immediate threat of Hussein in the �we have to invade now� excuses before the war? Mr. Powell�s statement also brings the WMDs back into question. It was administration policy before 9/11 that Hussein �has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction.� That calls the motives of the Bush administration into question and certainly strengthens my case that they used the WMD issue as an excuse to scare the American people into allowing the invasion.
