Powell in rift with EU over Iran

US Secretary of State Colin Powell has failed to persuade European ministers to toughen their stance on Iran's nuclear programme.
After what he called a "very candid discussion" with EU foreign ministers in Brussels, Mr Powell said a draft European resolution was "not adequate".
The US wants Iran declared in breach of its nuclear treaty obligations, a move that could lead to UN sanctions.
But the German foreign minister said dialogue with Iran was worth the risk.

Last time Powell was pitching something like this over WMDs, it was in February before the UN Security Council when he was pitching war. He was lying out of his ass.

Is is any wonder that he can't get cooperation now?

1. why do I think that everything I read about Powell is a complete lie?

I really cannot give this immoral and unethical man any sort of acknowledgement or credence at all. Further, I do not think he would even care if people do not give him credence or acknowledgement. He is only out for his own money , period. He is merely a tool of the PNAC at this point. I cannot take anything he says or does seriously. Unfortunate--he has had a chance to be a superb human being--he has failed and he is lying in the utter chaos and shit the Bush administration has made him lie in while he flaps his gums.

2. Powell has always been the worst sort of sell-out

(you know what word I really want to use but!) ever since his Army days.

I'm glad Dems are beginning to catch on. 2 years this time, there was a disgusting non-stop love-fest by too many Dems too eager to see a sheep in every wolf.

You are so right.

From My Lai to PNAC- the journey was not that long!
