Colin Powell spoke recently to a group of high school students for a program on BET. Powell on Iraq's nuclear weapons (real quote in italics):
POWELL: [justifying why we demand other nations to disarm while we keep our own nuclear stockpile] "...Iraq does not intend to use them for peaceful purposes but to be aggressive against other nations."
STUDENT: "Peaceful purposes?"
POWELL: "You know, like a whitewater raft. Or a coffee table. Perhaps even a tetherball pole."
STUDENT: "What about a mechanical bull?"
POWELL: "No, that’s too dangerous. [pauses to think] Well, maybe if it was set to buck at a low speed."
The quote is midway through Courtland Milloy's column.
