Powell: Iraq biological labs intelligence was shaky
Coalition raids home, takes aide to influential cleric into custody

Strategy:
Wait until a "successful" economic number comes out (remember the president & advisors get this the day before "we" do) and then pull Powell out of hiding and try to smooth over the mess.
If I'm wrong, then Powell, in his 30+ years of service, must be a complete imbecile to not know before this past week that this "intelligence" was unreliable.
And as for that number, let's not forget it also reflects:
-Weather changes which allowed 71,000 construction workers to go back to work.
-Grocery strike which ended, allowing 47,000 jobs to be included in that number.
Excepting those numbers, 230,000 jobs were actually added, which isn't too shabby.

Just my .02 - please, draw your own conclusions.
