---No factories manufacturing chemical weapons such as Anthrax, Ricin, or Botuninum, as then-United States Secretary of State Colin Powell untruthfully stated on behalf of the United States of America before the United Nations Security Council on February 5, 2003. http://www.state.gov/secretary/former/powell/remarks/2003/17300.htm
But never mind, we're told.
Never mind the fact that then-United States Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) George Tenet's body language sitting right behind Colin Powell at the Security Council meeting said it all. View the video podcast of Colin Powell's speech, a classic case of good, old-fashioned, American bullying. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/02/20030205-1.html#).
It is common knowledge that Colin Powell was opposed to making these statements. It is well-documented that he was pressured by then-United States National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, United States Vice President Dick Cheney, United States Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, United States Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet, and United States Deputy Assistant National Security Advisor Steve Hadley and coerced into making these statements.

Never mind the fact that Colin Powell later attempted to retract his statement to the United Nations Security Council as recorded here:

Never mind that American hero and former United States Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during the Reagan Administration Paul Craig Roberts has commented that this retraction doesn't let Colin Powell off the hook. http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/powell_carreer_as_a_yes_man_pcr.htm .

Never mind the fact that a multitude of United States govermnmental bureaus, offices, agencies and departments (--all paid for with Amereican taxpayer dollars) and all operating under the executive branch --were tapped to "fix the intelligence around the policy," http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/006141.php , as revealed in the Downing Street memo http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/1.
To their credit, these United States govenmental bureaus, offices, agencies and departments worked hard to "convince" the White House that there was a case for going to war with Iraq, among them the newly created and now defunct White House Iraq Group, (WHIG);
