Unlike Treasury Secretary O'Neill who was "resignated" because he couldn't stomach the BS Powell just kissed ass and went along with the show. Like he did at My Lai

......Meanwhile, a U.S. weekly said Friday that Powell came under persistent pressure from the Pentagon and White House to include questionable intelligence in his report on Iraq's WMDs to the Security Council.

U.S. News and World Report magazine said the first draft of the speech was prepared for Powell by Vice President Richard Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis Libby, in late January.

According to the report, the draft contained such questionable material that Powell lost his temper, throwing several pages in the air and declaring, "I'm not reading this. This is bullshit."

Cheney's aides wanted Powell to include in his presentation information that Iraq has purchased computer software that would allow it to plan an attack on the United States, an allegation that was not supported by the CIA, the magazine said........

.........The weekly further said that the White House also pressed Powell to include charges that the suspected leader of the September 11 hijackers, Mohammed Atta, had met in Prague with an Iraqi intelligence officer prior to the attacks, despite a refusal by U.S. and European intelligence agencies to confirm such a meeting.

The pressure, added the American magazine, forced Powell to appoint his own review team that met several times with CIA Director George Tenet and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to prepare the speech...........

Let's see how they tumble as the paradigm shift
rumbles.

I believe that Bush is going down. Blair first then Bush and his fascist cabal. Let us see if they pardon each other as they are ousted and/or move in to take the others position. Will Hastert Pardon Bush as Ford pardoned Nixon?
