Iraq Redux
The United States has intelligence indicating Iran is trying to fit missiles to carry nuclear weapons, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said.
Powell partially confirmed claims by an Iranian opposition group that Tehran is deceiving the United Nations and is attempting to secretly continue activities meant to give it atomic arms by next year.
"I have seen intelligence which would corroborate what this dissident group is saying," Powell told reporters Wednesday as he traveled to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Santiago, Chile. "And it should be of concern to all parties."
OK. Where have we heard this before? Remember all those dissident groups that said that Saddam Hussein had mountains of WMD, and all the intelligence Powell (and other administration officials) said validated those claims?
They're leading us down the same garden path again. Let's hope Americans have learned from their mistakes.
