Cohn Powell’s Presentation to the UN Security Council On Iraq’s WMD Program Options Menu: Forum In 2003 General Cohn Powell (then Secretary of State) “made the case” to the United Nations regarding Iraq’s WMD program, a case that would move the U.S. to invade Iraq. Many years later General Powell (then retired), identified what he believe to be flaws in the “Bush Administration’s” decisions regarding the Iraq war. Some called him a liar for what he said in 2003, others criticizing him as he was a part of the Bush Administration and once it appeared the invasion was based on faulty intelligence, he tumed on President Bush.
