Powell-Hungry

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 31, 2010
It's day two of Secretary of State Colin Powell's big push to gain support for military action against Iraq. Yesterday he presented the United Nations with evidence of Baghdad's "evasion and deception". Today he will try to win over the hearts and minds of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, whose chair, Richard Lugar (R-Indiana), recently said "while Americans have been deeply concerned about potential war with Iraq, many have also considered the Korean crisis a more serious situation."

You can listen to an archived copy of Powell's testimony at NPR.ORG.
