Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice Tell The Truth About Iraq

This clip from John Pilger's documentary, Breaking the Silence, contains 2001 footage of Powell and Rice declaring that Iraq is not a threat.
During a press conference on 24 February 2001 during Powell's visit to Cairo, Egypt, answering a question about the US-led sanctions against Iraq, the Secretary of State said: "He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors."
On 29 July 2001, Condoleezza Rice appeared on CNN Late Edition With Wolf Blitzer. Guest host John King asks her about the sanctions against Iraq. She replies: "We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt."

@salvadory This statement shows a lot about your mental stability. Which hospital do you call home? Do they let you out of your padded room very often?

@earlregent - you are are totally gone , your right the it more then just her , but she is the sole person responsible in talking to the American public , you can't have everyone talking that would not work efficient , so she is the paid lackey to lie to the American public

Wow, you seem to be compulsively making up excuses for Condi. Cofer Black said the CIA "did everything but pull ehe trigger to the gun we were holding to her head." Condi said she did not remember if she told Bush about al Qaeda cells inside the USA or not.

See the video Condi Lied Under Oath to the 9/11 Widows

@punxsutawneybarney It's not like it is in the movies you know. Why are you focused on her so whole heartedly? Are you a Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian? Do not forget to answer the questions in the last 2 comments too . I am very suspicious of you singling her out. For one to have such strong feelings, you must have a strong suspicion of her motives. You just focus on the oversight. That could have many reasons including incompetence. If that was the case, whats the reason for your hatred?

[EarlRegent]

@punxsutawneybarney You have no deep understanding of the reality of senior government and their relationship with intelligence services. Do youth think it's high-school? An impending threat with grave consequences would have circulated more than just the National Security Advisor. Even, if the channels are not official. How stupid and inept do you think the CIA/others are exactly? They relied on just one person for such a major impending disaster??!! Your level of ignorance is really taxing.

[EarlRegent]

@punxsutawneybarney A 20 year old college grad would have taken the threat seriously if he was given permission too you moron! 'I don't want to swat flies' GEORGE BUSH.

[EarlRegent]

@punxsutawneybarney Lol! So, Dr. Rice was the only person in the senior administration that was aware of the threat? My GOD! You are such simpleton! Is that why she was promoted next term? Is that how it works? George Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld all are scared of Rice that they would not sacrifice her to save face and improve their own standing? Your ignorance really gets under my skin! The US government can not handle police work and the missile defence program at the same time? Is that it?

[punxsutawneybarney]

@EarlRegent I don't know why she rejected the case. Maybe she figured there was more profit opportunity in missile defense.  Tenet and Blee said that if she had paid attention to their warnings, 9/11 might have been prevented.
