Small problem Mr. Powell:

Last week, the CANADIAN PM said Iraq had WMDs;

A month ago the head of the Israeli military said Saddam had WMDs (though not in the quantities we thought);

NATO, the UN, Spain, Russia, Britain, Australia, Denmark, Poland, not to mention the CIA all thought Iraq had WMDs; and

about a month ago the IRANIANS came out and said we would "find" WMDs in Iraq---of course, the Iranians said we would "plant" them, but this indicates to me that Iran knows they were there.

Now, given that EVERY DAMN COUNTRY IN THE WORLD said they were there, were they ALL misled by one engineer? Even Iraq's Muslim buddies the Iranians? Don't the Israelis, the Russians, NATO, and the CIA have different sources? When everyone in the room says the wall is brown, the chances are that it's brown.

Was it really that consensual ? I remember the European press that echoed their respective governments was quite skeptical at that time, and I'm quite surprised every time it's said everybody thought he had mobile labs and hidden WMDs, etc.

When the only one in the room with eyes says the green room is brown, it's brown indeed....

Denmark also said Iraq had WMD. Every country in the world said Saddam had WMD.
