Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Colin Powell: France Will Suffer Consequences for Opposing U.S. Invasion of Iraq

HeadlineApr 23, 2003

U.S. Secretary of State General Colin Powell told the “Charlie Rose” TV show yesterday that France will suffer consequences for opposing the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Powell said the U.S. has to review its relationship with France, but would not say what the consequences might be. News of his comments comes after the French ambassador to the U.N. unexpectedly proposed the immediate suspension of U.N. sanctions against Iraq. But Ambassador Jean-Marc de La Sablière also said that the lifting of sanctions was “linked to the certification of the disarmament of Iraq.” He said the Security Council should look for ways to combine the work of U.N. and U.S. inspectors so that the Iraqi disarmament can be internationally verified. Russia and Germany are also saying that U.N. inspectors should be allowed to join the U.S. weapons hunt.
