Bush’s tough talk risks complicating diplomacy
President Bush frames Iraq as evil and threatens action, demanding evidence for allies and the public. Secretary Powell must persuade the UN Security Council that the United States has the goods on Saddam Hussein as Bush’s black and white rhetoric tests alliance patience and credibility. The speech also omits Osama bin Laden and the axis of evil label, signaling a shift in focus after 9/11.
