Secretary Powell at the UNIraq: Failing To Disarm
Secretary Powell's Address to UN Security Council (Feb. 5): "The material I will present to you comes from a variety of sources.... What you will see is an accumulation of facts and disturbing patterns of behavior. The facts on Iraqis' behavior demonstrate that Saddam Hussein and his regime have made no effort--no effort--to disarm as required by the international community. Indeed, the facts and Iraq's behavior show that Saddam Hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction." [transcript; video; more]
Also: Interviews on Sunday talk shows (Feb. 9).
