[Previous entry: "Recommended: Spinsanity"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "Better late than never"] 07 April 2003: "Quote of the Year"US Secretary of State Colin Powell, in an interview on German ZDF (Zweite Deutsche Fernsehen - Second German Television): No, there is no list. There is this common perception in Europe that there is this list of enemies and we are going to go down one-by-one and invade them all in some predetermined order. This is not the case. The President is not looking for places to go invade. The President has made it clear that he has many ways of dealing with regimes that, we believe, are not following international standards. So, sometimes political actions are appropriate, economic actions, use of our intelligence assets. Sometimes military force is appropriate. But we are not looking for wars to get into.Emphasis in bold mine. A transcript of the interview is available from the State Department. (State Dept. link via Jackie D.) |
