He called that evidence?  Ha, that\'s laughable.  Other nations are right in not joining us on this horrible excuse for a war.

Thats more than adequate.  He said there would be no "smoking gun" and that is plenty to prove they are hiding banned weapons.

WEAK.[/size]

If this is a reliable account of the evidence we\'ve all been waiting for, then I\'m not convinced.  I\'m not big on blind faith.  I need to see better evidence before I will support a war.  Sorry, that\'s just how I feel man.

There is probably a hidden reason our government wants a war on Iraq.  They\'re not willing to share it with us, and therefore I\'m not willing to support it.  As far as I\'m concerned, I\'m still against this war until they show me more.

Oh my god, are you guys kidding me.  Iraq is lying so badly, they have illegal weapons and they won\'t come clean.  I felt that Powell was too subtle, but its not his fault...  isn\'t Ironic didn\'t the same thing happen 40 years ago with Cuba?

Is this the top secret intelligence that Australia was giving him from ASIO?

If it is, it BLOWS>

Don\'t you think if we came out with our evidence so openly it would screw up our spy network?

They already know we are spying, so Id say no.

That\'s my point exactly.  During ordinary times it\'s fine for the CIA & NSA to conceal everything, and not even tell congress what they\'re doing.  No one knows and no one seems to care.

In this case however, there has to be a better balance.  If they have hard evidence they have to show it even if it damages their spy network.  The cost otherwise is just too great.  If we can\'t prove to the world and to ourselves that this war is ESSENTIAL, then we are running a very great risk of escalating warfare and terrorism in the Middle East and elsewhere.

The entire world hates us right now and we need to prove them wrong.

Of course they know we are spying on them, but they have no clue where we are and what we are hearing.

It was stated numerous times that what is being presented is not a huge smoking gun, but rather evidence to show that the Iraqi\'s are toying with the UN.

I just can\'t honestly believe in anyone\'s right mind that we shouldn\'t do something about this guy.  It simply blows my mind that people just want to sit back and wait for chemical and biological weapons to be used against us.

The guy is a scam artist.  This is ridiculous.  It\'s just stupid to even rebut people who think this guy is no big whoop and that we shouldn\'t do anything.

People want to goto war...yet we dont have full blown proof.

We are probably going to attack anyway...

Yet every shakes their heads and wonder why ships, stations,  embassies abroad, and buildings at home bombed.
