| Description | Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday his prewar speech to the United Nations accusing Iraq of harboring weapons of mass destruction was a ``blot'' on his record.
``I'm the one who presented it to the world, and (it) will always be a part of my record. It was painful. It is painful now,'' Powell said in an interview with Barbara Walters on ABC-News.
The presentation by the soldier-diplomat to the world body in February 2003 lent considerable credibility to President Bush's case against Iraq and for going to war to remove President Saddam Hussein. |
