| Powell: Iraq War Could Reshape Mideast for US |
| 2003-02-06 |
| Secretary of State Colin Powell said on Thursday overthrowing Iraqi President Saddam Hussein could reshape the Middle East in a way that enhances U.S. interests and helps end the Arab-Israeli conflict. This is going to twist a few turbans Powell told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that attacking Iraq could cause "some difficulties" during the conflict and in the months immediately after a war. But he added, "I think there is also the possibility that success could fundamentally reshape that region in a powerful positive way that will enhance U.S. interests, especially if in the aftermath of such a conflict, we are also able to achieve progress on the Middle East peace." Bwaaahahahaha! It's our Evil Plan finally out in the open! He said Washington's problem with Iraq was not just over Iraqi cooperation with the United Nations in giving up any weapons of mass destruction it might have. "We can't say we're not going to do anything because it will cause us some other problems in the region. This is the problem. It's not just (U.N. disarmament resolution) 1441, it's Saddam Hussein as a threat to the region," he said. Bye Sammy! |
