...(LAUGHTER)
KASICH: This is just nuts, OK? Jeez, oh, man. I'm sorry, John.
DICKERSON: Why is it nuts? Talk about it. Give us your sense of...
KASICH: Oh, well, listen, I think being in Iraq, look, we thought there were weapons of mass destruction. Colin Powell, who is one of the most distinguished generals in modern time said there were weapons there.
(APPLAUSE)

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US Secretary of State Colin Powell (news – web sites) was under persistent pressure from the Pentagon (news – web sites) and White House to include questionable intelligence in his report on Iraq (news – web sites)’s weapons of mass destruction he delivered at the United Nations (news – web sites) last February, a US weekly reported.
US News and World Report magazine said the first draft of the speech was prepared for Powell by Vice President Richard Cheney’s chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby, in late January.
According to the report, the draft contained such questionable material that Powell lost his temper, throwing several pages in the air and declaring, “I’m not reading this. This is bullshit.”
Is this still debatable for likes of Jeb/Kasich?
