The Bush administration will disclose new information to the United Nations today on Iraq's mobile biological weapons facilities, as well as evidence linking Baghdad to the al Qaeda terrorist group, U.S. officials said.
The intelligence will be provided to the world body by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell as part of the administration's effort to win support for military action to disarm Iraq of its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.

Will there be any re-runs on c-span?
Everyones commentary is very helpful and makes me feel less like a dummy.
Did someone neglect to tell Mr. Al Salami Baloney that here in the U.S., Mr. Ritter has had a slight credibility problem of late?
The top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, said after an early-morning preview of Mr. Powell's presentation at the White House that he was unsure the Security Council would be won over. But he said that he was persuaded. He told reporters as he left the White House, "If I had this evidence, before a jury that was an unbiased jury, I could get a conviction."

Not much.
Bill Would Repeal (Congressional)Resolution Authorizing Military Action
The answer? Powell's report is open to interpretation. *crickets*
And no, it makes no difference that Iraq has broken resolution 1441 because those who shall remain nameless claim that the US has broken resolutions in the past as well, so big deal.
I moving to New Zealand, would anybody like to join me?
Ahh, Ron Paul, our fav Libertarian in republican clothing.
Gosh Ron, if I were you when the vote was taken I would have stood up for my principles and walked out leaving my rep. seat empty until the next election.
In the summer of 1998, when Hamza first went public with his story about Saddam's relentless desire for the Bomb, much of the press ignored him. The country was transfixed by the saga of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
Not to mention that in 1998, the president himself couldn't have cared less.
Tell your daughter to bring lots of sunscreen, towels and fresh water, but no live stock. The government of New Zealand taxes each head of live stock because of their flatulence contributing to global warming. No, I'm not kidding.
Word that former President Bill Clinton will help the Rolling Stones raise awareness about global warming when they perform a free concert tonight in Los Angeles has some folks in Washington shaking their heads.
"Bill Clinton's lip-biting appearance at the gig to decry President Bush's global-warming policies is certainly odd," says Christopher C. Horner, senior fellow of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
"You see, the Clinton-Gore and Bush policies - not rhetoric, but actual actions and policies - on Kyoto and global warming are indistinguishable. Strange, but true. The man [Mr. Clinton] who signed Kyoto refused to send it to the Senate for ratification for the over three years remaining in his presidency.
"Bush won't send it for a vote, either," adds Mr. Horner. "Clinton talked a big game about making the treaty fully binding reality, but chose not to. Bush has talked a big game about withdrawing, yet, oddly, still has not.
"The only difference seems to be one gets lauded for having done something that in reality he refused to do, [That sums up the revisionist history of the Clinton presidency] while the other is pilloried for having done something that in reality he refuses to do."
