” ‘I cannot tell you everything that we know,’ he [Secretary of State Colin Powell] began after a brief introduction [in his speech before the U.N Security Council on February 5, 2003]. ‘But what I can share with you, when combined with what all of us have learned over the years, is deeply troubling.’ The facts and Iraq’s behavior ‘demonstrate that Saddam Hussein and his regime have made no effort–no effort–to disarm as required by the international community.’ ”
