Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 I am starting to suspect that Colin Powell's initial hesitations for war were all an act. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2003/feb2003/iraq-f08.shtml " The American media, [e]mbraced Powell's speech as the definitive proof that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction and intends to share them with terrorists. Editorialists and columnists both liberal and conservative hailed the secretary of state's performance and declared that nothing should now be allowed to stand in the way of a US onslaught against Baghdad. The real purpose of this barrage of pro-war declarations is to intimidate and isolate domestic opponents of US aggression against Iraq. The US political establishment, through its media mouthpieces, is announcing that further public dissent against the Iraq war will be regarded as illegitimate, if not downright treasonous.
