I am constantly amazed, at the naivete`of scholars. The average street person could see the "game" coming in Powell's speach, in the opening minute. He set up a qualifier for BS to follow. And sure enough as the speech played out, I was able to scrutinize the misdirection, and lack of absolution, in his statements. Everything was probable. don't ask me what the words were that alerted me. It's been so long ago that me and friends of mine laughed at this, I don't recall what it was. However, any who doubt me; if you can get a transcript of the speech now, with your current knowledge, I'll wager you can look at it, and see what I'm talking about.
...I have commented at various places, int his forum since the invasion begin, about the abscence of WMD's. I'm not the only one of course others saw this too. I'm just glad the "experts,"
are starting to wake-up.
