> Obama asserted something quite different in last night's address. The image of Colin Powell being sent with his slides full of incontrovertible "evidence", like a lamb to the slaughter to the UN to justify the Iraq invasion has left me scarred for life such that I can never trust again such so called "evidence" unless it comes from a multiplicity of neutral sources, most especially somewhere other than the US government. I don't care what the President may have said. He was fed it by the same military-industrial establishment that stands to benefit to the tune of billions (or even hundreds of billions) of dollars every time a major war breaks out. Probably the same high level advisors that came up with the idea Iraq was a "slam dunk", and fed into the willing ears of the bush administration.
