As it became more and more apparent that the case for war was smoke and mirrors (as exemplified by the pathetic performance of Colin Powell at the UN), and that the attempt to build a coalition for action was a facade constructed for domestic policical purposes only, my suspicions began to grow.

i agree with you. i was pretty dissapointed as well when i watched that speach. i thought they had a lot of smoking guns... instead, he had just a long string of small and loosely connected pieces of evidence. that whole presentation was pretty bizarre. there seemed to be enough evidence of unnacounted weapons, defiance, lies, murder, genocide etc to make the case without having to embelish. i guess they did not think so.
anyway, they were wrong. they should fry. the whole purpose was to "disarm Suddam Hussein" as they said time and time again. Pretty hard to justify a war to dissarm someone when you can't find any weapons after the fact. especially after spending a couple months making the case that those weapons are undoubtedly there.
