It Reminds Me of the Boy Who Cried Wolf

From the Washington Post:

The United States has intelligence that Iran is working to adapt missiles to deliver a nuclear weapon, further evidence that the Islamic republic is determined to acquire a nuclear bomb, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said Wednesday.

Maybe if Powell hadn't gone to the UN saying that Iraq had WMDs, people would more readily believe him when he says this about Iran:

"There is no doubt in my mind -- and it's fairly straightforward from what we've been saying for years -- that they have been interested in a nuclear weapon that has utility, meaning that it is something they would be able to deliver, not just something that sits there," Powell said.

Personally, I believe him. But the fact that there are a number of people in the international community who do question his statements shows just how weak our credibility is right now.
