February 5^th five years ago Colin Powell, then Secretary of State presented to the United Nations one lie after another to convince the world that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, and needed to be relieved of them in the name of peace.

We all learned later that the CIA had overwhelming evidence at the time to support the fact that Saddam had indeed NO weapons of mass destruction, and that his weapons program was shelved.

But again as we later learned, regardless of the facts absolutely nothing was going to keep Bush from invading Iraq, nothing.
