Secretary of State Colin Powell presented what he termed “irrefutable evidence” that Iraq has been secretly baking weapons of mass destruction at a pretzel factory an hour from Baghdad.
“Only a year ago, the president of the United States was nearly killed by one of these malicious snacks and now we have proof that Iraq has been producing them by the millions,” a scornful Powell told the hushed U.N. chamber in New York.
Powell used a Powerpoint presentation to show declassified satellite photos of the factory along with bar charts illustrating projections of the vast number of people who could choke and die from these pretzels if they were afforded mass distribution.
“Iraq must now face the serious consequences for not being forthcoming with this sophisticated, stealth operation. I don’t even want to contemplate what Osama Bin Laden could do with a bag of pretzels,” Powell said. At the White House, press secretary Ari Fleischer noted that while Powell did not present a "smoking gun" the case for going to war with Iraq is clearly "in the bag."
