Did Colin Powell show the "smoking guns"?

[TennVolTony]

Do you think he proved what the US has been saying all along?
What do you think the next step should be?
Will there be war with Iraq?

I think he proved it beyond any doubt. The UN will try to get another resolution passed giving the inspectors more time.

I think it will take a very large miracle to keep us from flattening Baghdad........

Yes I most certainly believe he proved his (our) point and then some!

Yes I do think we will go to war, and yes I do believe its the right thing to do.

Now in a "perfect" world, or maybe my naive little world I don't understand why some Special Force didn't go in and kill him a long time ago. I do understand Rules of War, BUT we could have made it look like an accident.

John says Its all about politics and maybe thats right but I certainly hate to think of the innocent lifes that are going to be lost because of politics.

You know deep down in my heart I still believe that someone somewhere in our government knew about 9-11 before it happened. Its sad to think and say that but I just believe it with all my heart

"The United States will not and cannot run that risk to the American people. Leaving Saddam Hussein in possession of weapons of mass destruction for a few more months or years is not an option, not in a post-September 11th world."

and the comment regarding the aluminum tubes:

"I am no expert on centrifuge tubes, but just as an old Army trooper, I can tell you a couple of things: First, it strikes me as quite odd that these tubes are manufactured to a tolerance that far exceeds U.S. requirements for comparable rockets.
Maybe Iraqis just manufacture their conventional weapons to a higher standard than we do, but I don't think so."
