<blockquote>Tuesday, May 18, 2004
With President Bushs approval rating hitting record lows and worries about the U.S. occupation of Iraq growing, Secretary of State Colin Powell has been carefully distancing himself from the administration.
The decision by Powell to make comments that cast the administration in a poor light could not come at a worse time for the president.
Lost in the hubbub over the abrupt camera change during his appearance on "Meet the Press" Sunday was Secretary Powells striking statement about the WMD controversy in the run-up to the Iraq war.
Powell told Tim Russert on "Meet the Press" that he had cited intelligence that was provided to the CIA and which he now believes had been <b>deliberately</b> falsified in an effort to win public approval for the war.</blockquote> (<i>emphasis mine</i>)
Gosh...just think...deliberately falsified intelligence to juice Dubbyuh's call to war.
