Mr Powell then showed video picture of what he said was a ballistic missile facility two days before the inspectors arrived, with vehicles outside including a crane for moving missiles. This was rather undermined by the words "Hasbro" which were clearly discernible on the side of the "crane" and even more so when a coffee-stained hand reached across the screen and appeared to adjust its position slightly, knocking it over in the process. Quickly turning off the screen, the General then reached into his pocket and pulled out a very small syringe. "Ladies and gentleman" he said. This may look like a tiny, tiny, empty syringe. And, in fact, it is a tiny, tiny, empty syringe. But just imagine what damage Saddam Hussein could do to us if instead of being a tiny, tiny empty syringe in my hands it was actually in his hands and full of something really nasty like anthrax or ricin? Jesus, what more evidence do you guys need?"
