He was being sarcastic. And if you actually read the Press Conference, Powell says that at that time Hussein had not yet developed a significant capability with respect to WMD's. He talks about how keeping Hussein in check is an ongoing process, so his statement must be taken with a grain of salt. No one's denying that, but all that information was found after the war, and is still inconclusive seeing as the inspection was limited in it's scope. It took the UN quite awhile to find SCUD missiles in the early 90's because they were buried in the desert, but they turned up eventually. But for arguments sake, you can't just go "whoops, my bad guys" and stop the war at the snap of a finger. We destroyed Iraq and have a responsibility to rebuild it.
