of what people saw

in that room
on that terrible day,

68
00:04:06,144 --> 00:04:07,814

more and more confusing,

I don't want anyone to panic,

I have to go to the hospital.

If it was up to me,

you'd drop
out of the election.

that clear

that it's not an option,

Good, good, good to hear.

Uh, it's really nice
to be back in my home state.

somewhere along the line,

we believe there is
a right and a wrong...

784
00:39:25,828 --> 00:39:29,696
Because I'm a mom
and a wife from Wyoming

785
00:39:29,698 --> 00:39:33,134
and I know how it feels
to make every penny count.

do I speak for you,

A hard wind of change

through America.

Civil rights, Roe v. Wade,

a part of the country

792

about this change.

Thanks to my amazing wife.

It's good to be
joining you all here in D.C.

that were sick of paying
income taxes

rolled right into
Washington, D.C.

800
00:40:12,442 --> 00:40:15,042

to fund right-wing

looked at the world.

1192
01:01:28,183 --> 01:01:31,317

Um... Rove is a hack.

1395
01:11:06,627 --> 01:11:08,927
Hughes should be
in double-A ball.

1396
01:11:08,929 --> 01:11:12,664
So we will have
fairly unobstructed access

1397
01:11:12,666 --> 01:11:14,202
to the Oval Office.

1468

to get an office at the

revenue bills originate,

with the estate tax.

Now, this has been hard
to eliminate,

because the tax only
affects those estates

01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:35,112
FEITH: Here's a report
that says Mohamed Atta,

1908
01:32:35,114 --> 01:32:36,681
one of the 9-11 hijackers,

1909
01:32:36,683 --> 01:32:39,316
may have met with
an Iraqi spy in Prague.

1910
01:32:39,318 --> 01:32:40,884
WOMAN: It's a really
strong statement.

1911
01:32:40,886 --> 01:32:42,786
Does anybody agree
with that statement?

1912
01:32:42,788 --> 01:32:45,557
Wait a minute.
We can't just bomb people.

1913
01:32:45,559 --> 01:32:46,591
- Oh, please.
- WOMAN: Yeah, no.

1914
01:32:46,593 --> 01:32:47,758
It's from Czech intelligence,

1915
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:49,526
and they question
its credibility.

1916
01:32:49,528 --> 01:32:51,762
WOLFOWITZ: I've been to Prague.
They question everything.

1917
01:32:51,764 --> 01:32:54,766
Who wants to be
an anonymous source?

1918
01:32:54,768 --> 01:32:56,368
Make sure you work
in the phrase,

1919
01:32:56,370 --> 01:32:58,302
"We don't want the smoking gun
to be a mushroom cloud."

1920
01:32:58,304 --> 01:33:00,638
That focus-grouped
through the roof.

1921
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:02,973
RICE: There will always
be uncertainty

1922
01:33:02,975 --> 01:33:05,977
about when he will acquire
nuclear weapons.

1923
01:33:05,979 --> 01:33:08,480
But we don't want
the smoking gun

1924
01:33:08,482 --> 01:33:09,815
to be a mushroom cloud.

1925
01:33:09,817 --> 01:33:11,850
There is a smoking gun
or a mushroom cloud

1926
01:33:11,852 --> 01:33:13,785
- we have waited too long.
- CHENEY: Simply stated,

1927
01:33:13,787 --> 01:33:16,154
there is no doubt
that Saddam Hussein

1928
01:33:16,156 --> 01:33:18,356
now has weapons
of mass destruction.

1929
01:33:18,358 --> 01:33:20,225
We gotta get rid
of this dictator.

1930
01:33:20,227 --> 01:33:21,959
He's got anthrax,
he's got all these weapons...

1931
01:33:21,961 --> 01:33:24,029
There is no doubt
he is amassing them

1932
01:33:24,031 --> 01:33:25,730
to use them
against our friends,

1933
01:33:25,732 --> 01:33:27,798
against our allies,
and against us.

1934
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:30,735
When, and not if, but when

1935
01:33:30,737 --> 01:33:33,437
Saddam creates
and uses nuclear weapons,

1936
01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:35,373
what will we tell
the American people?

1937
01:33:35,375 --> 01:33:39,244
Saddam Hussein will continue
to increase his capacity

1938
01:33:39,246 --> 01:33:41,545
to wage biological
and chemical warfare.

1939
01:33:41,547 --> 01:33:42,780
- Hello?
- MAN: Whassup!

1940
01:33:42,782 --> 01:33:47,185
(ALL EXCLAIMING)

1941
01:33:47,187 --> 01:33:49,987
To show that we will stand up
for what we know to be right,

1942
01:33:49,989 --> 01:33:52,222
to show that we will confront
the tyrannies

1943
01:33:52,224 --> 01:33:53,892
and dictatorships
and terrorists

1944
01:33:53,894 --> 01:33:55,860
who put our way of life
at risk.

1945
01:33:55,862 --> 01:33:57,728
BROKAW: ...of winning
a second UN resolution

1946
01:33:57,730 --> 01:33:59,664
authorizing war against Iraq.

1947
01:33:59,666 --> 01:34:01,199
So tonight President Bush...

1948
01:34:01,201 --> 01:34:03,500
...and the hopes
of an oppressed people...

1949
01:34:03,502 --> 01:34:04,572
The tribe has spoken.

1950
01:34:07,373 --> 01:34:09,941
Polling for an invasion
of Iraq

1951
01:34:09,943 --> 01:34:12,076
is at 53 percent.

1952
01:34:12,078 --> 01:34:13,645
Focus groups show people

1953
01:34:13,647 --> 01:34:15,713
still aren't sure
about a connection

1954
01:34:15,715 --> 01:34:18,316
between Saddam and Al-Qaeda.

1955
01:34:18,318 --> 01:34:19,918
And France and Germany
have both said

1956
01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:21,753
that they will not join
our coalition

1957
01:34:21,755 --> 01:34:23,454
And neither will Israel.

1958
01:34:23,456 --> 01:34:26,723
Ariel and I we went
to the Wall together with Condi.

1959
01:34:26,725 --> 01:34:27,892
We-we prayed together.

1960
01:34:27,894 --> 01:34:30,027
Israel's one
of our closest allies.

1961
01:34:30,029 --> 01:34:33,164
They said an invasion
of Iraq would...

1962
01:34:33,166 --> 01:34:35,400
destabilize the region, sir,

1963
01:34:35,402 --> 01:34:37,683
and that they don't believe
Saddam is an immediate threat.

1964
01:34:38,438 --> 01:34:39,838
That's not good.

1965
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,606
I really want
a strong coalition for this.

1966
01:34:42,608 --> 01:34:44,142
I have an idea.

1967
01:34:44,144 --> 01:34:46,076
Secretary Powell has
the highest

1968
01:34:46,078 --> 01:34:48,349
trustworthy ratings
of all of us.

1969
01:34:49,215 --> 01:34:51,516
What if he gave an address
to the UN

1970
01:34:51,518 --> 01:34:53,185
and the American people

1971
01:34:53,187 --> 01:34:55,253
to push this over
the finish line?

1972
01:34:55,255 --> 01:34:57,422
Karl, I have been very vocal,

1973
01:34:57,424 --> 01:34:59,958
very vocal about my reservations
about invading Iraq.

1974
01:34:59,960 --> 01:35:03,561
Oh! Colin, you're such
a nervous Nellie.

1975
01:35:03,563 --> 01:35:05,862
- We are talking about invading...
- A worry wart.

1976
01:35:05,864 --> 01:35:07,499
- ...a sovereign nation...
- Sovereign nation?

1977
01:35:07,501 --> 01:35:09,901
- ...without any provocation, Don.
- RUMSFELD: Don't give me that...

1978
01:35:09,903 --> 01:35:11,302
POWELL:
It is a sovereign nation, Don.

1979
01:35:11,304 --> 01:35:12,870
RUMSFELD: ...in any way, shape,
or form. You're wrong.

1980
01:35:12,872 --> 01:35:14,105
POWELL:
What's the exit strategy?

1981
01:35:14,107 --> 01:35:16,141
What, what about
the intelligence?

1982
01:35:16,143 --> 01:35:18,109
- Does the intelligence matter to you at all?
- The exit strategy. Oh, please.

1983
01:35:18,111 --> 01:35:19,576
- You break it, you bought it.
- You know you're wrong.

1984
01:35:19,578 --> 01:35:21,146
- You break it, you bought it.
- You're a chicken-shit.

1985
01:35:21,148 --> 01:35:23,315
All right.
Hey, hey, hey, all right.

1986
01:35:23,317 --> 01:35:24,816
Ho-ho-ho-ho.

1987
01:35:24,818 --> 01:35:26,186
Let-let's slow down.

1988
01:35:27,086 --> 01:35:28,719
That's enough of that,
you guys.

1989
01:35:28,721 --> 01:35:30,090
Well, are you...

1990
01:35:31,190 --> 01:35:34,228
gonna take
Saddam down or not?

1991
01:35:35,095 --> 01:35:37,364
You are the president.

1992
01:35:39,965 --> 01:35:43,703
War... is yours.

1993
01:35:45,371 --> 01:35:48,906
Not the UN,
not some coalition.

1994
01:35:48,908 --> 01:35:51,111
Do not share powers...

1995
01:35:52,077 --> 01:35:53,980
that are yours alone.

1996
01:35:59,051 --> 01:36:01,352
(INHALES DEEPLY)

1997
01:36:01,354 --> 01:36:04,722
George, make sure
Powell sees the intelligence.

1998
01:36:04,724 --> 01:36:06,289
TENET: Yes, sir.

1999
01:36:06,291 --> 01:36:08,426
GEORGE W. BUSH: Colin,
I want you to make that speech.

2000
01:36:08,428 --> 01:36:10,494
I'm president,
and I want this to happen.

2001
01:36:10,496 --> 01:36:11,795
- TENET: Yes, sir.
- HUGHES: Yes, sir.

2002
01:36:11,797 --> 01:36:13,431
POWELL: Yes, sir.

2003
01:36:13,433 --> 01:36:15,333
I look forward to being briefed
on that intelligence.

2004
01:36:15,335 --> 01:36:18,136
On another note, I've been
handed a credible report

2005
01:36:18,138 --> 01:36:21,806
of a small terrorist enclave
in North Eastern Iraq.

2006
01:36:21,808 --> 01:36:22,906
If we're gonna invade,

2007
01:36:22,908 --> 01:36:24,508
we suggest taking it
out before.

2008
01:36:24,510 --> 01:36:26,410
Let it go, George.
We have bigger fish to fry.

2009
01:36:26,412 --> 01:36:28,545
Let me see that intelligence.

2010
01:36:28,547 --> 01:36:30,248
- TENET: Of course.
- (CLEARS THROAT)

2011
01:36:30,250 --> 01:36:33,218
KURT:
That classified document

2012
01:36:33,220 --> 01:36:37,554
described a terrorist named
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi

2013
01:36:37,556 --> 01:36:40,024
who had started
as a drug dealer and pimp

2014
01:36:40,026 --> 01:36:41,692
before becoming
fully radicalized

2015
01:36:41,694 --> 01:36:43,762
in a Jordanian prison.

2016
01:36:43,764 --> 01:36:47,097
Zarqawi went to meet
bin Laden in Afghanistan.

2017
01:36:47,099 --> 01:36:49,601
Did he or did he not meet
with Al-Qaeda?

2018
01:36:49,603 --> 01:36:54,306
KURT: But Zarqawi had vowed
to kill all Shia Muslims,

2019
01:36:54,308 --> 01:36:57,609
and bin Laden's mother
was Shia.

2020
01:36:57,611 --> 01:36:59,877
So the meeting
didn't go over well.

2021
01:36:59,879 --> 01:37:01,579
They had
no operational contact.

2022
01:37:01,581 --> 01:37:02,646
Hogwash.

2023
01:37:02,648 --> 01:37:05,850
POWELL: Larry,
have you seen this speech?

2024
01:37:05,852 --> 01:37:07,351
Yes, sir. It's bone-thin.

2025
01:37:07,353 --> 01:37:10,021
I saw at least five pieces
of disproved intel in there.

2026
01:37:10,023 --> 01:37:11,121
Who wrote it?

2027
01:37:11,123 --> 01:37:12,457
They said
it was the president,

2028
01:37:12,459 --> 01:37:13,924
but I think you can guess
who really wrote it.

2029
01:37:13,926 --> 01:37:16,162
Well, there's no need
to yell, Larry.

2030
01:37:16,996 --> 01:37:20,298
Yeah, well,
we reviewed the speech,

2031
01:37:20,300 --> 01:37:22,236
we gave some notes.

2032
01:37:23,603 --> 01:37:27,304
Powell really doesn't have
a clue, does he?

2033
01:37:27,306 --> 01:37:29,908
KURT: After the US
invaded Afghanistan,

2034
01:37:29,910 --> 01:37:32,476
Zarqawi set up shop in Iraq.

2035
01:37:32,478 --> 01:37:35,212
It was the only connection
Cheney had

2036
01:37:35,214 --> 01:37:37,115
between Al-Qaeda and Iraq.

2037
01:37:37,117 --> 01:37:39,517
The Security Council
will now begin

2038
01:37:39,519 --> 01:37:43,521
its consideration
of item two of the agend.

2039
01:37:43,523 --> 01:37:45,722
I call now
on the distinguished

2040
01:37:45,724 --> 01:37:47,025
Secretary of State

2041
01:37:47,027 --> 01:37:48,892
of the United States
of America,

2042
01:37:48,894 --> 01:37:51,396
His Excellency,
Mr. Colin Powell.

2043
01:37:51,398 --> 01:37:54,231
My purpose here today
is to share with you

2044
01:37:54,233 --> 01:37:55,533
what the United States knows

2045
01:37:55,535 --> 01:37:58,703
about Iraq's weapons
of mass destruction

2046
01:37:58,705 --> 01:38:01,638
as well as Iraq's involvement
in terrorism.

2047
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:04,642
Iraq, today, harbors
a deadly terrorist network

2048
01:38:04,644 --> 01:38:07,579
headed by
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi,

2049
01:38:07,581 --> 01:38:09,813
an associate
and collaborator...

2050
01:38:09,815 --> 01:38:12,549
KURT: Powell's UN address was
seen by millions of Americans,

2051
01:38:12,551 --> 01:38:15,219
but other people
were watching as well.

2052
01:38:15,221 --> 01:38:17,088
POWELL: Collaborator
of Osama bin Laden

2053
01:38:17,090 --> 01:38:18,725
and his Al-Qaeda
lieutenants...

2054
01:38:19,526 --> 01:38:21,426
Zarqawi's activities
are not confined...

2055
01:38:21,428 --> 01:38:22,759
KURT:
The great general of America

2056
01:38:22,761 --> 01:38:24,862
saying his name
over and over again

2057
01:38:24,864 --> 01:38:27,330
immediately made
Zarqawi a star.

2058
01:38:27,332 --> 01:38:29,267
POWELL (ON TV): Staying
in the capital of Iraq...

2059
01:38:29,269 --> 01:38:30,567
Allahu Akbar!

2060
01:38:30,569 --> 01:38:32,971
KURT: Within a day,
he had gone into hiding.

2061
01:38:32,973 --> 01:38:35,705
ALL: Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!

2062
01:38:35,707 --> 01:38:38,910
POWELL: ...but these denials
are simply not credible.

2063
01:38:38,912 --> 01:38:41,279
They are simply not credible.

2064
01:38:41,281 --> 01:38:43,548
An Al-Qaeda source
tells us that

2065
01:38:43,550 --> 01:38:45,816
Saddam and bin Laden
reached an understanding

2066
01:38:45,818 --> 01:38:48,085
that Al-Qaeda would no longer

2067
01:38:48,087 --> 01:38:50,422
support activities
against Baghdad.

2068
01:38:50,424 --> 01:38:52,188
KURT:
By the time we invaded Iraq,

2069
01:38:52,190 --> 01:38:54,392
70 percent
of Americans thought

2070
01:38:54,394 --> 01:38:57,197
that Saddam Hussein
was involved in 9-11.

2071
01:38:58,665 --> 01:39:02,098
Later, Colin Powell
would call the speech

2072
01:39:02,100 --> 01:39:04,901
the most painful moment
of his life.

2073
01:39:04,903 --> 01:39:06,540
(WHISPERS)

2074
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:08,840
Thank you, sir.

2075
01:39:10,475 --> 01:39:12,308
MARY: And what was it?

the Iraq War
is not worth fighting.
