Really, When Will Someone Get Fired?

Powell no longer sure that Iraqi trailers were weapons labs :
Top U.S. diplomat concedes presentation to U.N. may have been wrong

It’s not like they just goofed…oopsie daisies…and we can all just giggle about it later…

In an airborne news conference on the way home from NATO talks in Brussels, Belgium, Powell said he had been given solid information about the trailers that he told the Security Council in February 2003 were designed for making biological weapons.

But now, Powell said, “it appears not to be the case that it was that solid.”

Powell’s dramatic case to the Security Council that Iraq had secret arsenals of weapons of mass destruction failed to persuade the council to directly back the U.S.-led war that deposed the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. But it helped mobilize sentiment among the American people for going to war.

    With Clarke and O’Neill we have seen what happens if you wait until they don’t need you anymore.
