Dead Wrong: Colin Powell's UN Speech

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell makes the case for war with Iraq to the United Nations. However unlike how he's been characterized, this broadcast shows that despite Colin Powell's skepticism he was manipulated and misled just like the rest of us.

Powell lied to the UN.

He should be put in jail.

I agree with someone going to jail. but just know it wasn't powell who found the intel. Rumsfeld went to the CIA and asked them to forge the papers. Rumsfeld then took the papers to Colin Powell and introduced them seriously, never telling anyone they were forged. The amazing thing is that no one at the CIA had the balls to tell Colin Powell they had been forged. Partially, due to the fact that it was Rumsfeld asking for the papers. Whoes gonna go beyond him and say just so you know Mr. Powell

All we can do is hope things will be better. All in all things are getting better but very slowly. World surely is much better than it was in 1500. Every new social system we invent is a bit better. Current neoliberalism is just tiny bit better than slavery was. But dont worry. Every social system so far fell, and capitalism isnt so much different that it wouldnt. All we can hope is that revolution will be less bloody as usual and that is will be teleivised :-)

I think you're confused as to the definition of "WMD's", specifically the ones the Bush Administration swore to God existed in Iraq, and that it was only a matter of time until those weapons were found and the war was justified. Oh wait...why am I trying to reason with a neo-con? Logic is inconvenient, it gets in the way of your fantasy World where Obama is a Muslim-socialist and Bush was Captain America that caught Osama and blew up the evil Iraqi's! YEEHAWWW!.

People need to stop placing their lives in the hands of the few that hold the power. There is no hope if the people are disarmed and divided. And I'm talking about all the People from across the globe coming together, that's what it will take. Too bad there is too much hatred, ignorance, and prejudice that exists in our World. It makes us easy prey for the Elite.

Contrast Colin Powell with Adlai Stevenson's performance at UN Security Council. One told fairy tales, the other showed concrete evidence. One undermined US credibility and prestige, the one increased US standing among nations.

So this video is from 2006.Well,there have been further developments,as they say,since then.In the last few weeks (in 2012) we learn that Syria has WMDs.Funny that !!! Of course there's no way that those aerial photos that Powell showed to the UN General Assembly actually *did* show that Sadaam's WMDs were sent to his good pal in Syria,Hafez Assad.Nope,not a chance.It's just one big coincidence.

[columbusindimedia]

Now this ploy being used against Syria. O.M.G.! Do they expect folks to believe it?

Some half-retarded chick from Kentucky did more time in prison than this liar.

Well its not really Powell fault, Dick Cheney did make 3 trips to the CIA before the UN presentation for what purposes its widely speculated the intelligence was manipulated to justify war poor Powell in my opinion was just the messanger
