"What he (Newt) meant was that he wished that Colin had played hardball with Old Europe." Probably. But, this isn't what he said. Newt quoted Daschle...and I simply wish he hadn't.

I agree, I wish he hadn't said it either...but I agree with what he MEANT to say.

Also I think Rumsfeld and Powell were playing a little good cop-bad cop situation. That was my theory until I saw Colin get angry with Old Europe. Once Powell realized they were screwing him over, he purposely stopped diplomacy and I can't blame him at that point. What is the point in negotiating with FRIENDS OF SADDAM.
