Powell's Former Chief of Staff on Iraq Intel: 'I Participated In a Hoax'
If you missed Friday's installment of the PBS show 'Now,' you missed alot. Colin Powell's former Chief of Staff laid out, in detail, how Bush and his crew of liars created a hoax to lure us into the Iraq War.
In the piece, Colonel (ret.) Lawrence Wilkerson claims the Iraq War speech Powell gave at the United Nations on Feb. 5, 2003 included falsehoods of which Powell was unaware. He said, "My participation in that presentation at the UN constitutes the lowest point in my professional life. I participated in a hoax on the American people, the international community and the United Nations Security Council." Wilkerson also claims that neither then CIA Director Tennant nor other CIA analysts who provided intelligence for the speech admitted there were disputes about its reliability. Wilkerson also discussed Cheney's involvement with the plot.

Americans and New Mexicans have lost faith in their Political Leaders (Republicans and Democrats) and the Polls indicate that the American People want change. Big Money has taken over our Constitution. Are Americans just going to sit and do nothing? It is time to speakout and Question the Process and clean house from the Governors Office in Santa Fe to the Congress in Washington, D.C. I am tired of the LIES, Rampant Cronyism and Corruption. Eli Chavez, an Angry American/New Mexican Independent.
