Bush stands as the power of one!!
Unlike the slickster, who watched the polls.........this leader makes the polls!!
It was an amazing speech, very powerful, very covincing. One of his best.
It says, among other things, that Powell is supposed to meet with Security Council members on FRIDAY to come up with a DEADLINE for Saddam. Some on on FOX earlier was saying that the time going around right now is 3 weeks.

Daschle said earlier he isn't convinced a strike on Iraq is necessary.
I don't recall hearing ANYTHING about resumption of inspections.

US Demands from Iraq
1. Immediately and unconditionally forswear, disclose, and remove or destroy all weapons of mass destruction, long-range missiles, and all related material.
2. Immediately end all support for terrorism and act to suppress it.
3. Cease persecution of its civilian population, including Shi'a, Sunnis, Kurds, Turkomans, and others.
4. Release or account for all Gulf War personnel whose fate is still unknown. It will return the remains of any who are deceased, return stolen property, accept liability for losses resulting from the invasion of Kuwait.
5. Immediately end all illicit trade outside the oil-for-food program. It will accept U.N. administration of funds from that program, to ensure that the money is used fairly and promptly for the benefit of the Iraqi people.
But the purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced -- the just demands of peace and security will be met -- or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.
--------------------------------------------------
The United Nation cannot vote to declare that Security Countil resolutions should not be enforced. This is brilliant. President Bush is using the UN resolutions against the UN.
Predictably, the heads of the cretins over at DU are about to explode.
By the time the Evening Newscasts roll around, the story will NOT be President Bush's speech to the UN, but DEMOCRATIC CRITICS' REACTION to the speech. Peter Jennings will make no mention of how stellar he'd earlier pronounced the speech, and the news editors will show Dubya in slow-mo in an attempt to make him look retarded. By the end of the broadcast, you will be made to believe that Tommy Daschle addressed the UN, not our President.
Only on FOX will the critics' reactions be labeled "predictable."

You hold him.
I'll cut!!
That'd be 3 October...yet the Vast, LeftWing Medyuh Whore'd continues to state that no action will be taken before next January or February.
I believe the earlier date is more likely to be accurate...MUD
