ST1 on 1


Now, from our New York STNews World Headquarters in New Jersey is chief meterologist and your host, Connie Chung.


CC: Good afternoon. Our guest today is former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Good afternoon Mister former Secretary..



CP: Good evening Connie.



CC: …of State.



CP: …



CC: Mister Former Secretary, your successor took the oath this past weekend. Do you think Doctor Rice will be a good Secretary of State?



CP: Connie, I know Doctor Rice to be diligent and ready. I think she will be a superb Secretary of State.



CC: We know you were thrown out with yesterday’s confetti, how did you feel being muscled out of the way?



CP: Connie, that’s just not true. I told the President I wanted to leave at the end of his first term.



CC: Right. I wanted to leave CBS too. Let’s move on to Iraq. They just had the election. It looks like it was a success, kind of. How did you see it?



CP: I know it’s the beginning of a long process. There will be another election, and much to do. I would say it was a good start.



CC: OK. Right. Now, we know there were no weapons of mass destruction. All this man had was a mustache and it took almost two years to find that. How did you feel when you heard that everything you said was a lie?



CP: Now wait a minute Connie Chung. I wasn’t lying. I did… I said what I knew to be true based on the best intelligence this country had….



CC: Whoops! Uh, Mister Former Secretary?



CP: Well…



CC: Look, we know when you, I’ll be kind because we all know you lied, were misinformed, and went to the U.N. with those urine samples it flamed the fire for war. Don’t you regret being a dupe for W?



CP: I served at the pleasure of the President. I don’t regret anything. I think we did the right thing.



CC: Lying, starting a needless war, fanning panic, fear and death, for, it turns out nothing.



CP: the pleasure of the President.



CC: Do you think that holds any weight against the public perception of you as an Uncle Tom who betrayed the countries trust?



CP: I could slap your face.



CC: Feisty. Where was that feistiness when men and women were dying?






CC: Where did Mister Former Secretary go?
Anyway. Join us tomorrow for complete fair and balanced coverage of Death’s State of The Union speech tomorrow here on ST.
Be seeing you.
