Snooker - I apologise for calling you a t*rd. I was having a bad day. Thank you for requoting the Powell article.
The reason Powell had to come out and deny that the Jewish lobby was driving the US to war was that there is influential opinion to the contrary. As usual the Jewish lobby has played the anti-semitic card.
I refer you to an article by Patrick J. Buchanan former senior adviser to three presidents and twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. It can be found in the publication American Conservative at http://www.amconmag.com/03_24_03/cover.html
I would have posted it but had trouble getting it pst the Hotcopper profanity check. I tried changing a couple of words but no good. If anyone could post the whole thing I'd be grateful. It's very interesting.
