Powell describes Iraq’s ‘web of lies’



In an 11th-hour effort aimed at swaying opinion at home and abroad, Secretary of State Colin Powell told the United Nations on Wednesday that Iraq has made no effort to disarm as demanded by the international community.

UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 5 — Setting the stage for a final diplomatic showdown on Iraq, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell prosecuted Washington’s case for immediate action against Baghdad at the United Nations on Wednesday. Armed with secretly recorded conversations and spy photos, Powell documented what he described as a “web of lies” by Iraq, which he said offered “irrefutable and undeniable” evidence of Baghdad’s defiance of the U.N.’s call for disarmament. The charges were rejected by Iraqi officials, while the key members of the Security Council indicated they were not swayed by the U.S. presentation.
