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."

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?

What a crew in that Bush administration. next they went on to crash the economy with their lies about how Wall Street would police itself and behave honestly.

WOW! Really? Business ties? Because some mutual fund had a stock bin laden's fund also had? Did you also read where clinton and obama are also business associates of bin laden?

I guess if you can say "W" was ignorant of the terror attacks, the same is true that clinton was more ignorant.

[Rusty Shackleford]

I wouldn't say that shows anything about their mental stability, maybe their gullibility. Considering there were business ties between Bush and the Bin Laden family, and W's complete ignorance toward warnings of 9/11, it's not exactly the wildest thing to believe.
