Powell said his prewar statement to the United Nations (news - web sites) — that there was no doubt Saddam had the capability to produce and use such weapons — had been vetted for days by U.S. intelligence analysts.
"We spent four days and nights out at the CIA (news - web sites), making sure that whatever I said was supported by our intelligence holdings," Powell said.
But she acknowledged that Bush erred when he talked, in his State of the Union address, about how the British government had learned that Iraq had sought uranium from Africa to build weapons.
"We did not know at the time — maybe someone knew down in the bowels of the agency — but no one in our circles knew that there were doubts and suspicions that this might be a forgery. Of course, it was information that was mistaken," Rice said.
Rice expressed confidence that the weapons will be found.
"We have thousands and thousands and thousands of documents that we've not yet gone through," she said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "We have many, many people; we've interviewed just a fraction of them. There are sites to visit.
"We will put together this whole picture, but the preponderance of evidence is that this was a regime that had the capability, that had unaccounted-for stockpiles and unaccounted-for weapons."
What havoc are Mercury and Venus in Taurus creating for Dr. Rice today? The earthing of spin, both Condi's natal Sun and Venus are conjunct in Scorpio and in one nasty opposition with t. Mercury/Venus, looks more like her worst nightmare. Neptune our planet of confusion is tagging her natal Mars in Aquarius, with transiting Mars opposing her natal Pluto. One should have stayed in bed today.
The People, the Moon are in your 2nd House, in Virgo, counting their losses in life, retirement benefits, natural resources, and jobs, all have gone missing.
Saturn, it's sitting in the 11th House, in Cancer, old home week in Congress, and boy'o those folks are catching heat from the People. Fats in the fryer bucko, your Sun is meeting up with your Natal Uranus, shocker, in opposition to your natal Pluto, kapow, splat 11th House..here Byrdie Byrdie. You can prance you can strut, but you sure aren't doing the WMD dance!
