Live discussion and comments about Bush's speech to the U.N. today, and the reaction to it.

[steveegg]

The speech, Iraq or the UN?

[Jmouse007]

He didn't state a DATE :o(

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Grand slam!

[vannrox]

He listed over 16 resolutions that Iraq has violated. He put it right on the UN. He closed the speech stating that Liberty of the Iraqi people is a very important goal.

[Peach]

Brit Hume - "We have the urgent duty of protecting lives" quoting President Bush. Said he laid the gauntlet down to the UN. I'll say.

ANOTHER HOME RUN BY THE MAN GEORGE W.

[quebecois]

What did MTV do for a 9/11 show (dare I ask?)

[Darlin']

Well, the UN is hopeless but some of the member nations represented there aren't

[Humidston]

He said something like, "We will work with Iraq.." and didja see Condi Rice WINCE?

[hchutch]

Well, this was similar in tone to the speech of September 20, 2001.

It took 17 days for our second counterattack in the war to begin.

[twyn1]

looking nervous ? Heck... they looked like they were either gonna' throw up or they were kicked where it really hurts

[vannrox]

It was an excellent legal brief.
But was quite detailed.
IN Boston, the liberal radio says HOME RUN!

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Bush has thrown down the gauntlet.

The UN already has committed itself . . . and can retain no legitimacy if it attempts to backtrack.

And, of course, the U.S. has a veto in the Security Council . . .

Time to start worrying about something besides bills in the mail again?

[LisaFab]

Brit Hume: "The president has issued a stern challenge to the UN."

Kristol: "President did not ask for inspectors, he asked for regime change. He wants the UN on board for regime change.

[mhking]

I think he should set a DATE.

"Witness the awesome power of this fully operational battle station!"

[1Old Pro]

Said he laid the gauntlet down to the UN. I'll say.

i'LL SAY TOO. He let them have it IMHO

[Moby Grape]

Yes!!!! Finally a president willing to STAND up to the UN!!!! If you remember, Boy Clinton WANTED Kofi the liberal to be head of the UN!!!!

[Lee'sGhost]

"The DUmmies must be going bat s#it right about now..."

Oh, what a beautiful mental picture that is!!!

[TxBec]
