[Howlin]

Session set to begin at 10:00 A.M. EST

I'm not sure which C-SPAN will carry this!

[Howlin]

This is the thread for the Blix discussion.

I will be out for a bit this morning, so if you all decide to join the two threads, fine by me!

[Trust but Verify]

Thanks once again, Howlin, for your dedication to these important threads.

[The Wizard]

headline should be LACK of compliance

[guitfiddlist]

If pre-billing is any kind of indicator, Blix will have a schizophrenic breakdown at the podium today. Iraq is "cooperating but not complying". Great. Only an appeasing pinhead could come up with a summation like that.

[apackof2]

This totally off the subject but HELP I need information to send to a peacenik who send me a Nowar/Peace e-mail.
I have searched and searched can't find it and MadIvan is English is asleep by now. I know you are a regular and may remeber this post
thnaks so much for any help

[commish]

Once again Blix is going to announce that Iraq in NOT complying with 1441, has weapons that they are hiding, and is building more weapons -- AND STILL the Frogs and the Dummycrats are going to say we don't have enough proof -- GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Semper Paratus]

I heard that Sec. Powell may have an immediate rebuttal.
If so should that here or on a new thread?

[Cboldt]

You know, you are going to get blamed for another live thread.

[carton253]

CSpan is carrying it on line.

[Mrs.Liberty]

You are everywhere!

Freepers, I'll be on my way into work as this transpires, so rememember, clear and concise...and under 100 posts, please. LOL.

;)

President Bush suckerpunched Blix last night.

He got the advanced copy of the report. It CLEARLY shows that Saddam is not in full compliance with 1441. President Bush made it EXTREMLY clear what the whole debate boils down to: Is Saddam in full, complete and unconditional compliance with Resolution 1441?

If Blix tries to softpedal the violations, he will be exposed for it. Blix isn't the judge of what should be done. He only reports what he and his team inspects.

Bush's positioning last night was a masterstoke of diplomatic maneuvering.

Is Friday the day he sucks up to us or is Friday the day he sucks up to the Froggies and Saddam (Iraq is making much progress)???

I can't wait until the war starts and ElBaredie (Muslim Arab stooge) and Blix (Kofi's stooge) are shown to be liars and enablers of Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction.

[OXENinFLA]

BLIX: "Before I start I'd like to thank Saddam for all the contributions he has given to the world."

[areafiftyone]

Please keep us Helen Kellers updated. Thanks!

[auboy]

Blix needs to grow up. This is deadly serious business, and he is NOT a Rock Star.

No wonder France voted for 1441… they knew Hans would be their ace-in-the-hole.

[abner]

Thanks Howlin. I got here today, and said to myself, "Self, I wonder when the Blix appeasement speech starts." I opened up FR and here it is!

[steveegg]

Looks like the main C-SPAN, and CNBC just said they'll cover it (so you can lose your breakfast twice).

[Drammach]

Fox News just said Blix will be on in about 40 minutes, presently conferring with Koffee Annan.

Time; 0850 AM CST:

[Petronski]

Blixy's getting sneaky this morning with this delay. What is he up to?

[piasa]

A prayer:

Almighty God
Please free us from the pestilence
Of my congressman Nelson
Please let FOX news know
That we can do without him for the rest of the day
If not for the rest of the week-
Rest of his term in office
Whichever ends first.

Father,
Must we have a perpetual living example
Of why liberals should never be allowed to have
Authority in the realm of foreign policy?
surely this is too much to bear
Seeing his grinning face
On my satellite TV news

For the rats will delegate their constitutional authority
To whatever international organization
Makes them feel most like "citizens of the world"
Rather than servents of our people
They will eat out the heart of America
And sacrifice it to foreign idols
We ask you to save us from the smooth words
And give us strength to endure to the next election

We thank You for giving us this one opportunity this morning
To learn that astronauts are not neccessarily what they are cracked up to be
That they are better off working in space
Than in congress
Because they are too far out
And have been short of oxygen way too long
To have a clue about how to deal with hostile nations

We thank you for this lesson, Lord
And beseech You to spare us from yet another one of Nelson's tirades
About how we are not coddling the Germans
as they deserve to be coddled
For graciously selling the Iraqis the means to gas US troops
Or about how we are not properly bowing and scraping
To please French surrender monkies
Or how we are not trying to avoid offending The Axis of Weasels
Over that little deal where the French
Sold the Iraqis jet engines this January
So that Saddam Hussein can last long enough
To pay off some of their debts To Old Europe

This should be much more realistic
And require much less effort
Than my prayer that You grant the Democrats uncharacteristic wisdom

Amen.
