Are you convinced by the evidence against Iraq put forward by Colin Powell? Has time finally run out for Saddam Hussein?

This is London has been asking for your views. This is what you think:


I'll bet military detectives will uncover all sorts of naughty things Iraq says it doesn't have. One way or the other this Iraqi dictatorship will be disarmed and replaced." - localbrew

"Saddam Hussein is now in a corner - dangerous. He has only one way out - to die the martyr. Though, having said that, Bin Laden managed to survive an extensive bombing campaign, and remain a hero to his followers - so Hussein may yet be the Yasser Arafat of Iraq." - kielty

"I am extremely convinced more than ever that the US is trying to manufacture an excuse to invade Iraq. Especially transparent is the attempt to link the Iraqi government directly to Al-Qaeda. Despite repeated assertions by Tony Blair that the extent of the links are totally unknown, as recently as this week, and despite the leaked British intelligence report that tells us there are NO links, Colin Powell suddenly announces that Al Qaeda are being actively supported and trained by Iraq!" - Robbie_g

"Short of providing a close-up of Saddam standing next to a giant missile there isn't much more Colin Powell could have done to prove his point." - eddy64

"It did not convince me. The US govt has painted itself into a corner with its confrontational brinkmanship. It is now gathering disjointed fragments and desperately bashing them together to try and come up with a message. But it doesn't read 'We can now bomb Iraq with impunity', it reads 'The most powerful nation on earth has never been more dangerously wrong in its attempts to stamp its doctrine of 'peace' on the world, but we aren't willing to consider any other way.'" - Coglet

"I'm not convinced, the only thing I am convinced about is that with the dodgey situation in Venezuela, the US is desperate to get another source of oil on-line ASAP before their economy disappears down the tube and Dubya has lots of screaming voters out of work.
"Remember the Falklands? Galtieri needed something to deflect attention from gross mismanagement of the economy, and Mrs T would never have got a second term without the war." - Mctoo
