Shocking War Admission from Colin Powell: "We were wrong".
Pls. keep in mind that the interview is produced by the BBC - (Broadcasting Blair's Crap) - which is one of the worst pro-neocon propaganda sewers, broadcasting only two percent dissent in general. Never ever believe the BBC: I have worked for them, and stopped in disgust at what I saw. - BBC - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/bn6jg - The UK media are always controlled via the D-Notice - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/pv2r
Shocking War Admission From Colin Powell
Jan 17, 2006 7:30 am US/Eastern - (WJZ) - In a candid interview just hours ago, former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell talks about mistakes made in the decision to go to war with Iraq.
"WE WERE WRONG," POWELL SAYS.
"We were wrong," Powell says. "The intelligence community was wrong, the British intelligence community was wrong, and all the other intelligence communities were wrong and I PRESENTED WRONG INFORMATION, because that was the information we believed to be true at the time."
[FPF: millions of others knew that this was a prefabricated pack of lies, so?]
During the interview with the BBC, Powell frankly admits mistakes, saying the United States made the best decision possible based on information he now says was off-target.
"Everybody believed it to be true at the time, until we actually got into Iraq and didn't find the stockpiles," Powell says.
THE BRITISH REPORTER ASKS: "WOULD YOU LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR MISLEADING THE WORLD?"
"I didn't mislead the world, Powell responds. "When you are presenting what you believe to be the fact."
Just weeks ago, President Bush spoke at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Eyewitness News was there as he shored up support for the increasingly unpopular war. He also talked about a timetable for returning home.
President Bush's public approval ratings dropped significantly in 2005.
That has been largely blamed on bad news from overseas.
In recent weeks, those numbers have shown slight improvement. - [andend]

FPF: The above about the approval rates is not true: according to this ongoing MSNBC 'Live Vote' asking: ''Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment?'' - those are the results right now:
At 210.113 RESPONSES:
Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial.
86%
No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching "high crimes and misdemeanors."
4%
No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching.
8%
I don't know.
2%
This disgusting traitor to mankind, general Colin Powell, who among many other things covered up war crimes in Vietnam, may try to excuse himself with the help of info-falsifiers like the BBC: he belongs in court, tried and punished for his war crimes. This man and his collaborators in uniform are an enormous shame for humanity.
Like all the other with the neocons collaborating war criminals of whatever nationality, and whatever they think they are. Those criminals are a 1000 times worse than Pol Pot or Pinochet, Hitler, Stalin and similar 'final solutionists' who are responsible for the worst genocides ever.
