Some quotes from
this interview:
MR. KOPPEL: [regarding preware assessments of Iraqi oil revenues] So we were just -- we were just "flat ass" wrong in terms of what was being, what was being projected by the Secretary of Defense, by the Assistant Secretary of Defense. You notice I'm not quoting you. I don't have any quotes readily available. But they, they appeared to have been wrong.
You're giving me that wonderful little smile that says, "You don't think I'm going for that one -- "
SECRETARY POWELL: No. I was giving you a wonderful little smile because as Secretary of State I'm not permitted, really, to speak in the same rather graphic terms that you are describing things.
...
SECRETARY POWELL: [in response to a question about whether it was good to disband the Iraqi military] So a judgment was made by our colleagues both in the CPA and military, and the Pentagon that it was best to demobilize these units and start fresh.
Does this sound like a loyal member of the Bush administration?
