Dead Wrong: Colin Powell's UN Speech

[vmeister11]

Which honest face are American jews going to select this time to present to UN on "evidence" of Iranian nuke program?

[superbionicbatman]

@vmeister11 NONE LEFT.

[maplespak]

Colin Powell wasn't "MISLED", he was a willing participant. Also, look up what his son did while he was on the FCC.

[tommyk40]

Colin Powell is a traitor to the United States

[davolw1]

This is blatant treason deliberately lying the USA into war, and laughing all the way to being immune to prosecution, which makes no sense to me. America needs to choose the path of justice or perish at the hands of this coup. That means Bush, Rumsfield, Rove, POWELL, and Tenant, among others need to be put on trial for treason and war crimes against humanity. Been screaming this for ten years now. What’s it gonna be American people?!? What are you American people?!?

[The1926JIMBO]

Fuck UN for being so stupid to believe this pile of crap and continue to be stupid against Iran too.

[WRHappened]

Then there was the claim about the "Mobile biological weapons laboratories".

The chief proponent of this hoax was Colin Powell, who presented illustrations such as this one to the United Nations on February 5th, 2003.

This claim fell apart when it was revealed that these trailers were nothing more than hydrogen gas generators used to inflate weather balloons. This fact was already known to both the US and UK, as a British company manufactured the units and sold them to Iraq.

[TheWheels777]

Disgraceful.

[DiabolicEntity]

Colin Powell should have known better, this dumb fool took CIA lies hook, line & sinker, he's an idiot!

[shevegen]

Powell lied to the UN.

He should be put in jail.

[GSNPFL]

SAD colin powell knew Iraq had no WMD - Bush/cheney NEEDED Powell to tell congress [b/c Americans would believe Powell] .

Colin Powell should have done research before telling world Iraq had WMD.

he knew there were no WMD - after he told america bush/cheney accepted his resignation. at this same meeting Tenet said Iraq had no WMD.

Bush/Cheney wanted backing of Americans to go to war with Iraq for their OIL. Sadam Hussein wanted more [than 3%] of his oil for his country.

Bush/cheney said NO

[Goalsham]

Who is more terrorist? 9/11 hijackers or Bin Laden or U.S administration?

Used nuclear bomb in Japan.Used chemical weapons in Vietnam war etc... Generation of people are still suffering deformities,Mr Colin Powell.Black people do not lied like this to destroy the humanities.Please,stay out of their mess.I feel very sad about the death of millions of innocent Iraqis.

[rtghzj]

Hundreds of thousands must died in following of this lied speech.

[O2streaming]

Top rank officers blame it on bad reporting from their staff, while low rank officers claim they are just following orders- So no "one" is to blame-The only explanation for this bungled war apparatus in Iraq, is that US intel and national security ministers are a bunch of bungling idiots-Why would anyone continue to listen to a bunch of idiots?

[TheRegimelife]

Pictures of Convoy Trucks carring Biological weapons? Crates which look like it came off a delivery Food Grocery store? Aluminum tubes? Jump to 4:15sec( the guy sleeping, bottom left) is what the American Citizens were on that day , THEY fell FOR IT!!!!!.....LMAO!!!.....MADDNE­SS!!.....SHAME!!!..

[icon222121]

They will suffer as I have suffered! Ha Ha Ha.

[icon222121]

america and her populace are guilty of mass murder.

Why? Because americans had the appraisal and the power to vote.

Elect Kerry and withdraw from Iraq...

Or re-elect bush and continue with the brutal expedition.

What did the asses prefered?

They re-elected bush and continued with the brutal expedition.

[O2streaming]

@icon222121 Why would you assume that power functions differently in the USA? The citizen vote means nothing in the USA. The execution of power and political control is "dirty," by nature. So, it doesn't matter who is in charge- The only thing they (politicians) need to focus on is how to argue for the justification of their dirty deeds. -it is a political control system: via lies, and fraud, it divides the people, creates inequity, resources are taken from the many and given to the few-

[icon222121]

Iraq was a fabricated war. The snow falling from above is not. It is time to bring america to justice. She will pay for her war crimes. 10,000 snowstorms descend upon her. (can´t wait till tornado season)

[alexandertmackay]

@icon222121 it isn't the general populations fault that the country went to war. the people who suffer in tornado season are normally the poor who are also victims of the governments policies. i bet you Bush, Cheney, Powell etc do fine during the storm.

[drbayoms]

@alexandertmackay

There is one thing that does not cost a thing....true education. The kind you find at a library for instance. Americans are largely ignorant. I am talking TRUE education. Not rectangle pieces of paper from a College/University stating you are suitable for employment. I fear too many Americans do not take the time to learn about other cultures and countries. This ignorance allows them to be fearful of those who are 'different', and overly trusting of their own Governments : )

[TheRegimelife]

After all is said and Done, Oil in the world is not safe in foriegn hands, invest your trust for security in America.

[JohnWesley67]

I thought Hussein and Bush were bluffing each other (turns out President Bush wasn't bluffing). I wondered how could our government know what Iraq had, exactly. So, I watched Colin Powell's speech, and he confirmed for me that we didn't know shit. The drawings of the truck did it for me. During the Cuban Missile Crisis we got pictures of the actual missiles. Mr. Powell shows us pictures of a truck that look like they were drawn by a Mad Magazine artist. Unfortunately, most were fooled.

[ElSanti0]

Damn him for what he has done to our country and it's families.

[greenfury87]

We realized after 9/11 that there needed to be a change in the Middle East. What the Middle East needed was democracy and human rights. Saddam was the worst dictator in the region, he had committed genocide, invaded a UN member nation, used illegal weapons, destroyed the Marsh Arab culture. The country was in a centralized location in the Middle East and was modernized. It was the perfect candidate for democracy. Most of the deaths during the war was caused by the theocrats and fascists.

[matako07]

nomorelebs should eat a dick and swallow some cum.

[StraussBR]

of course blame the source

what a joke

[Kaskade1892]

NEW YORK TIMES. JULY 7, 2008 PAGE A6. URANIUM SHIPPED OUT OF IRAQ. American and Iraqi officials have completed nearly the last chapter in dismantling Saddam Hussein's nuclear program with the removal of hundreds of tons of natural uranium from the country's main nuclear site. It arrived in Canada last week, sold and shipped out because of fears that in Iraq's unstable environment, it could fall into the wrong hands.

[SAFAR32]

@Kaskade1892 GO WATCH GREEN ZONE ...THE TRUTH YOU LIAR,COWARD

[Kaskade1892]

@SAFAR32 I cited a factual news article about a documented event that took place. You are fighting back by telling me to go watch a Hollywood movie...really? Is that the best response you have? Seems to me that you are the weak one here, at least from a intellectual standpoint.

[ShadesofScorpius]

"I have to live with that" says he.

Actually, sir, NO...YOU DON'T.

Do us all a favour.....

[MaDmOnkyKungFu]

If they were not mobile labs then Saddam should have just handed them over.

[logic3d]

Could somedody tell me what documentary this clip has been taken from? Thanks

[alderete74]

Powell was promoted through affirmative action through the ranks of the Army. Promotion lists would not get congressional approval without the requisite percentage of minorities. Although eloquent in voice he has always been shallow in content . Colin Powell mislead the American people when he should have clearly known better, another example of his lack of character. He like Obama is a complete fraud and a patsy.

[8712222q]

shame

[Volkmoidruk]

Colin Powell:

--tried to cover up the My Lai Massacre, but admitted later in his memoirs that men in his unit murdered unarmed Vietnamese males;

--helped implement arms sales to Iran in the 1980s, the country the hawks want to attack today;

--was instrumental in getting Americans to agree to invade Iraq, despite no aggressive intent by that nation, bogging down the US in a colonial war of conquest with no stated end date;

With an "American Hero" like this, who needs villains? P.O.S.

[andersmf]

The "mobile WMD laboratories" were particularly hilarious. Thank god those GOP freaks are out of office.

[Metalgear55]

i really love this speech, priceless:)))

Hey in 8 years we will see it again, this time on Iran or maybe Iraq again:))

hehe we love wars, wars are for free:)

[lemimid]

it's not for free, US spends a lot of it's people's money to do war. US is also a poor people's country...

[Metalgear55]

what? america is the richest country in the world, and yes they can afford going to wars..!

[TheIBERIA77]

embustero , genocida.

[FuckImperialism]

I have a technical question... Is this the General Assembly or the Security Council? I know it's stupid to ask it and that the central thing is the effusion of shit but...

[964project]

it was the security council.

[intheknow7]

Powell knew this was BS. Y is he using Disney-like cartoon sketches for something of this magnitude? We have 24 orbiting satellites (GPALS) capable of reading dates off the back of a dimes in the dark,see through your home,determine how many cavities U and your children have, read heat patterns, determine sex etc.which they used in Iraq several months later.This is called treason! Colin was Chrmn of JCS...Now hes doing PR for The One. He was not misled..Sadly, we were yet again.

[964project]

The evidence from all sides that he was misled. He spent two full days prior to the speech in consultation with CIA executives who assured him that every point in his speech was accurate and well substantiated. The NIE short form was provided to lawmakers by the CIA, and was completely misleading and overly confident - you can read it yourself to see. The CIA and DIA brass are the ones to blame for Iraq, not Powell.

[oldhank2003]

Peace is acheived by going to war? Its no wonder a lot of people are turning to drugs.

[nkhan00]

Couple more Bush-like regimes, and that would be the end of America's superpower status

[Raidergnr84]

I think that in about 10 years, the US wont be the big boss anymore. We are way too corrupted, and it will all unravel sooner or later.

[KobeTheGreat888]

The start to the end. The second saddest day in US history.

[NYGUY1212]

people still dying because of this lie...!!!!!

[thereisariver]

Shameful. No wonder at Obama's inauguration, the Minister asked God's forgiveness.

[icarress]

I was really interested in watching this, but the volume was too low...

[trycoun]

this man has the chuzpe to come out ever again - i can't believe it

[forgottenmountain]

One of the worst war criminals of our time.

[lonizzcertified]

mr. tennets inteligence was good, but it was hand picked by the administration.. choosing what to ignore and what to use.. Powel is guilty of trusting bush, less then 2 years after 9/11(only very few expected our president to use our loyalty in such a way) as i see it.. Bush administration fucked these two guys bad and intentionally. lets not forget these two guys tried to make the case to bush that war is not neccesary.. but to bush it was manditory..

[deuxhardboiledeggs]

bullshit. my dad works in washington amongst the top echelon. he met tenet. tenet fell in love with bush. he was absolutely gushing over him. he became enamored with being an inside man. tenet knew what he was doing. so did powell. when powell made his speech to the un, he did so with full knowledge of the flimsiness of the evidence. tenet and powell are not two naive children. they knew exactly what they did all along. tenet and powell are traitors and should be tried in court.

[lonizzcertified]

both powell and tenet told bush that their are no wmds and yes they both helped decieve the people.. but usually the comander takes the blaim for giving out the order to (deliver this speach to the un) or (to find intelligence that only bush wants) i do think they are responsable BUT the head is Bush and Cheany, they should [at least] be impeached

[dbakernc]

I just finished writing a book The Link: The Secret Relationship between Saddam and al Qaida. Colin Powell was 100% correct. I've evidence to back up all his statements in the declassified Iraqi memo and transcripts released in March 2008. I will release an article in two weeks that will completely vindicate Colin Powell. Keep up the lies, people, you are about to look REALLY STUPID.

[alfriedrich]

Idiots like you should be hanged by their balls

[trycoun]

hope you paid 5000$ for the book

[ahmadabour]

The Pnac produced a fundamentalist groups of Islam,they exploits Islam to achieve their own goals, Bin Laden does not exist,they wage wars , they look for it as necessity .

The Pnac must be uprooted to make the globe better place to live in .

[jaculainen]

Liar. Simply a liar. He wants to get the war started. The murder, rape, civil war. Hundreds of thousands dead, millions homeless. They hanged their ex ally that did their dirty work in Iran-Iraq war and used US-WMDs to fight Iran. Anthrax scare was caused by one US scientist that had gone mad - according to official US investigation. Scientists family and colleagues disagree. Powell is a war-criminal.

[pussyStarter]

what a scumback, you are only as good as your last job. I don't believe it, that he did not know everything. He is just one of the neocons hellraisers.

[theoneofthemany]

US has one of the best intelligence agencies in the world. Basically it cannot make mistakes.

US went in Iraq for a reason. That reason has nothing to do with Powell's speech. That is just PR.

[Ohhhyeahhhhhhh]

This is the fall of an American Hero... Powell COULD be VP for Obama OR McCain, but THIS speech right here will stop him from being able to accept the post on either parties ticket.

[myfutureme]

Powell could have been president, and already had international acclaim

[Selsei]

rubbish! once he finished that investigation of malaiy, in the proxy war between commies and capitalists he signed his fate. Infact, once you have the insidious mentality of participating in a war you are doomed. Your victims always formulate your downfall. Scientists call it Karma!

[a1cjlock]

What would you rather have in the white house? A Bush or a Powell?

[FreakOfMeds]

None

[patrickintx]

Powell is the only one in the Bush Administration that could not totally sell out. He was in a bad spot just as Clinton is now he had to do his job. He stepped down he did not like what was going on and think about it like this no one was speaking out and he at least tried. I don't like Republicans but I place this man high on a pedestal. He is an honorable man! If this year's election is to become all about Iraq he would be the best man for the job!

[HawkFest]

This is disgusting. Powell resigned because he said he was TOLD to say that crap, himself said to the president that it was all crap, but Bush did NOT changed his mind! Powell did his job, and then had remorses, and then resigned. This is all a NEOCON propaganda trying to use POWELL as a scape goat! The neocon repukes are disgusting, Bush more then ever, and if America falls for this crap (AGAIN)...

[makkertje]

POWELL will go down as a LYING SCUMBAG!

[thecp29]

this post a far cry from the one U made 4 months ago accusing bush of being a liar and using mr. powell which we all know now he did.

65% of americans now say iraq is a disaster. that doesnt bring back the almost 4000 soldiers who died for the lie of iraq.

when you're in that voting booth in november please remember that mccain wants another 100 years in iraq.

[Dhimmicrats]

What a bunch of bitches. We are there now, get over it you pansy assholes. I bet you're still complaining over not getting your fair share of cookies last Christmas. Geeze. Tell you what, go find the nearest mosque and surrender. Just tell the mullah you are happy to wear a burka and become dhimmis!

[tashtigo]

this is the speech that rallied the american population to invade iraq. colin powell should be held personally responsible for the deaths of every single iraqi civilian and every single american soldier in iraq as a result of the fraudulent invasion and occupation.

death sentence comes to mind.

[eddietru]

DISGRACE=POWELL

[freestuffffff]

The Monday, September 10, 2001 issue of Time Magazine featured Powell on the cover. The accompanying story touched on the possibility of Powell resigning from the Bush administration. Looks like Rove and Cheney gave Powell this BS UN script to read before the world in order to destroy his credibility and political career forever.

[nohairmohair]

what comes to mind is Van Morrisons new album with the track They sold me out. this really was the high tech lynching justice thomas was talking about.

[Stevenbadman]

Sorry guys, I'm tired of hearing this well-meaning bullshit about Colin "the soldier", "the good guy", etc.

In the end, he had the possibility to stop, or at least deflect, delay this atrocious manipulatin that sent hundreds of thousands to their early graves.

In the hour of beckoning, he just followed his little fucking orders, instead of taking a stand. Or resigning. Man, he could have just resigned, instead of rubber stamping this shit that was obviously fabricated, don't you think?

[theoneofthemany]

What makes you think that he wanted to resign or take stand? Powell is just a visible part of the PR machine that works for those who control US government , he doesn't decide anything. Those who decide will never show their faces on TV.

-infowars

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@Stevenbadman I agree completely with you. I always hear this talk about how honorable Colin Powell is and how he was misled. He always just plays dumb like the rest of them and points the finger at someone else. Powell belongs in prison just like bush, cheney and rumsfeld. All these guys play dumb, mumble and lie. This was the dirtiest most deceitful war in American History and Powell was part of the lies and deception.

[drbayoms]

@Stevenbadman

Had he done that. He would have faced an enemy that was stronger, better funded and more organized than any he EVER faced in the jungles of Vietnam. I do believe they would have killed him. I honestly do.

[makkertje]

Curve Ball has been uncovered by CBS News. This idiot and liar has been used by war criminal GEorge Bush to go to war.

[SirAnthonyBlunt]

i love colin powell. he came to my school in japan today to give a speech, he's an amazing speaker, he's charasmatic and funny. When we asked if he regreted anything he did he said he doesn't regret. He mentioned the UN speech though, and he said that was one of his biggest mistakes, but he moves past that. He's amazing

[Stevenbadman]

Oh, he just "moves past that" doesn't he? How fucking easy...

Amazing indeed!

[RJWooller]

Powell is an okay sort of guy, he is one of the more moderate Republicans who was misled by Bush and his crew. It is a shame he didn't do a better job stopping the war, though. But nothing was going to stop Bush.

[whitepride1337]

the sound sux!

[edubya60]

Maybe we all need to view the video "Al Pacino's Inspirational Speech" here on youtube, and bring it together.

[edubya60]

"They say Saddam Hussein's secular tyranny and al-Qaida's religious tyranny do not mix. I am not comforted by this thought. Ambition and hatred are enough to bring Iraq and al-Qaida together, enough so al-Qaida could learn how to build more sophisticated bombs and learn how to forge documents, and enough so that al-Qaida could turn to Iraq for help in acquiring expertise on weapons of mass destruction." Powell

w's dot bercasio dot com slash movies slash dems-wmd-before-iraq dot wmv

[edubya60]

The Bush administration has made many foul-ups, but they took action where twenty years were waisted on talk and irresponsibility put us behind the eight-ball, what else could you expect. What is sad about it all, no matter what the facts prove, you will ignore them and continue to believe exactly as you have before!

Einstein said that a fool continues doing as he has in the past, expecting different results.

[roodeey]

This is all nonsense

In May 2002 before Carter's historic visit to Cuba, Powell claimed that Cuba had WMD's as a pretext to invasion-Carter asked to see the intellegence- Powell said there wasn't any (Bolton made it all up). Totally caught 100% lying about WMD's as a pretext to war- the State dept know, the media know, the Dem's know, Castro knows, the UN know- why is everyone silent about this.

[pfjones1925]

GEORGE TENET'S (The CIA Director appointed by BILL CLINTON) book, "At the Center of the Storm" 2007: Establishes that Iraq was a hotbed of terrorism under Saddam and no one has disputed those facts in his book. We are in a war with Islamic jihads not WMD. Iraq was declared a state sponsor or terrorism in December 1979 by the JIMMY CARTER Administration. All this WMD nonsense is irrelevant.

[roodeey]

The CIA is apparently irrelevent; their "faulty" (yeah right) intlellegence about WMD's, their undercover operations and undercover agents like Valerie Plame. Why did they let Osama escape when they had him surrounded- because its all a pack of lies, we don't really know what's going on.

[pfjones1925]

"we don't really know what's going on"

I have been following accounts of terrorism emanating from the Middle East since 1968. Who is "we"? Until 2001 nothing of consequence was done to punish the nations involved in this activity, at least now some have been turned (Libya, Pakistan) others attacked (Afghanistan, Iraq) it is not finished or perfect, but it is a start.

[roodeey]

What I'm refering to is the crap they tell us like Fidel Castro is manufacturing bio terror weapons (May 2002). There was no evidence, John Bolton made it up obviously as a pre text to invasion. Carter asked for the proof and Powell admitted they made it up. Interesingly enough the US sold Iraq the WMD's to gas Iran but he gassed the Kurds as well- that's part of the reason they went into Iraq to destroy the evidence.

[Kanamaktahs666]

FUCKING LIARS,ALL OF THEM.

[hairhorn]

This is the day Colin Powell lost any credibility he might have had left.

[generalmaximus5302]

Hey who things that Powell was tricked?

[FREEW0RLD2012]

Colin Powell is AS big a LIAR as Bush and the rest of the Bush Cabal are.

[wwwPNACATTACKcom]

THEY ARE ALL WAR CRIMINALS - that USA will let walk away...like hitler 1st would walk waay (Supported by Clinton: USA out from Rome ICC)

[asusmobo123]

Nah, it's not the end of Colin, though this was a very bad 'political' move of his. Hindsight is... Well I hope he can serve the next prez who hopefully is not a crazy neo-con. Though with congress backing shrub and half this country re-electing the clown, who knows.

[OperationNorthwoods]

He wasnot manipulated. jhe lied in MY LAI and 1991 about TANKS in SAUDIA - ARABIA BORDER

[OperationNorthwoods]

This is CNN bullshit...and they will walk away.

Hussein Kamel testimony August 22, 1995

[MonkeyMagic88]

We went to war for Israel , and that's a fact.

Our Grandfathers went fought and died by the millions in two world wars to establish the mafia state of Israel. Google this "Benjamin H Freedman"

Evil zionist jEWS will pay for their crimes.

[phatcrayonz]

thanks for the insight. in a way i actually believe you. the fucking jews are behind everything.

[MonkeyMagic88]

Google this-> "Communist NKVD Jews Genocide Russia Ukraine" and get a giant clue !-Google this>"Jews Bush Administration" UH OH...HELLO OH !

Why is the same old sons of bitches over and over ?!?!?

[makkertje]

Powell's UN speech was the biggest pack of lies and deceits ever! His credibility has been lost forever.

[nomorelebs]

you are all such a pack of pussies. why are you crying about a war that started nearly 4 years ago? get a life. If you don't have a way to win the war then don't bother to comment on it. You aren't helping.

I hope you are all females because i dont know of any males who could be weak enough to have a cry like you ppl.

[Xtraeme]

Holding politicians accountable for their actions doesn't preclude moving forward. By your logic the whole Nixon Watergate controversy was a waste of time. Public discussion of political events is vital in a free society.

[chunkmansss]

Redneck piece of shit.

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@nomorelebs Believe it or not I had an aunt who worked on the twin towers and died on 9/11. I praise our soldiers who fought valiantly in Afghanistan against the people who hurt us but the truth is Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and had no WMD. You might call us pussies but if you had a concious and any dignity you would research how many Iraqi men women and children were illegally murdered, paralyzed, mained and brutalized by this war for oil. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld belong in prison.

[greenfury87]

@JohnnyBoyCali: Its a mistake to think the war on terror is just about revenge for 9/11. Its more than that. Its about changing the culture of the Middle East. Its about brining enlightenment values to the region. Iraq was the perfect choice for this endevor.

[Xtraeme]

It's worth noting that the 2002 NIE report had been modified before it was given to Colin Powell. Check it out [ tinyurl(dot)com/yzrnuh ] or search google for "CIA Blacked Out Knowledge from NIE Report"

[newoh1]

Powell is a warmonger too!

[razzaqnz]

Actually, he was criticized for being the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to not go to war at the drop of a dime. You should check his biography or autobiography--it doesn't cover Iraq, but it'd give you real insight you obviously don't have.

[whatdoesitmatter]

To say anyone involved in this genuinely believed in the intelligence is patently false. It was so obvious to me in the run up to the invasion and millions like me all over the world - 2 million alone marching in London the month before the invasion. The evidence and 'facts' were put in place after the fact and anything critical or against the policy of invading Iraq was omitted. Remember what Powell said, 'these are facts not assertions'. This guy is as guilty as the rest of them.

[bogdan9]

this powell guy was just a toy... he has no fault

[juarezrt]

if he had doubts, like most of us suspect he did, then the least he should have done was resign if he could not opose the administration outright. i lost all respect for this guy after this.

[iena71]

This was the biggest shit this fucking Bush did to a human beeing. Destroying credibility of a honest General.

Very sad.

[ecclaed]

The fact all of this can actually happen is so sad.

[joebonk]

we live in the dark ages of humanity. worst things are happening too and will continue to happen in a world ran by unreason and greed

[nisseutlanning]

Who will bet your life that there is no WMD in Iraq or Syria or other next third party country remaining to be found? Will you bet your life on that?

[nutschig]

Yes I would - because we (the US) have WMD, and we're more dangerous to the world than any other nation. What right do we have to control another nation (and in order, another people) to stop defending themselves from us?

[Charlie8417]

And on top of that, we (the US) GAVE Saddam his chemical weapons and enabled him to produce them. And yeah I would bet my life that there are weapons there and that its all bogus bull crap.

[alex26london]
