Well, we can take a discussion on the meaning of truth to the philosophy board if you'd like. The fact is, unless you are personally experiencing these things, you're taking news reports for their word anyway. Go down that route and you'll soon believe the moon landings were faked.
The fact is, I think Powell is lying. Now, you might have a different conclusion. You think that Iraq might have had an active nuclear program, in the fact of massive evidence that they did not. So, I'm no different than you. In the face of evidence, I have drawn a conclusion and think Powell in lying. You, in the face of evidence, have drawn a conclusion that Iraq had a nuclear program.
I'd be happy to bring of some of your past posts and start contesting what you claimed as "facts". That way lies madness, though!
So, the fact is, I think Powell was lying. On purpose. To acheive a goal of the administration.
