A text of President Bush's speech to the United Nations

the White House

[McGavin999]

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.

To my mind, this sounds like it could be applied to the UN as well. Either they stand behind their demands or they become a social club and the laughingstock of the world.

Hey! That groove you have behind the flash movie has my head ringing! Cool.

By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand. Delegates to the United Nations, you have the power to make that stand as well.

We are going.

You may tag along or not. Your call.

Diplomacy is humiliating someone without his realizing it.

[Tony in Hawaii]

Yep, and they let the stupidest ones fly supersonic jets. :)

[Conservative4Ever]

Thanks..printing out a copy. Wish I could have seen W kick UN butt.

Your point assumes that every Palestinian is a militant. I respectufully disagree. Too many for my liking are militant certainly, but it is not an absolute.

And militant mulsims already have several strongholds in the Middle East. Your point seems based in passion rather than reason, which is certainly your right, but it makes for a less than defensible position as in the end you will always come back to your core argument that 'God said so'. Maybe you're right - if so pray for me.

Yeah yeah, nobody loves us anymore. Woe is us.
Did you get in touch with Kofi and find out when Iraq's government is planning to comply with the United Nations Security Council Resolutions?
The clock's ticking.

[michigander]

Hey Svend boy. Guess what. Go yell it into a fjord 'cause nobody here gives a damn what you or your neighbo(u)r thinks. Just keep your UN kowtowing country out of the way.

Guess Kofi didn't call you back eh? If he's calmed down from his near "wobbler" throw, ask your neighbo(u)r to call for you, maybe he's got some pull or at least have him read that link I provided in reply 63 to you. Being a school administrator, he should be able to translate all the big words into small ones so you can understand them.

Have a nice evening ok.

[rdb3]

It reminds me of mice and men where Israel...

Folks, all you have to do is let them talk. Just let 'em talk. That's it.

"as I thought no new evidence in the speech. Usual claptrap!"

You mean you knew about all of the violations before? And you are OK with it?

[michigander]

C'mon guys (my apologies if either of you are a female of the species, just a generic term), bash the screen name's comments based on the content of the replies, not the member since date.
There's plenty of cannon fodder there and while I may not be presenting the most effective refutation, at least try that avenue first.
OK?

"When you attack the rest of the world will be rooting for Saddam and not Bush."

We're used to it. And we are right. Don't like it? Invent a better system of letting people gain their own wealth, and keep it.

I'm sure your springy matress bed is above your dusty floor. When the big dogs play, you can hide under it. When it starts, just don't let your shrieking upset the neighbors, through your thin appartment walls. They might think negatively of you, which is important.

To you.

Thank you! You're a credit to FReeperdom.

Neither of these outcomes is certain. Both have been set before us. We must choose between a world of fear and a world of progress. We cannot stand by and do nothing while dangers gather. We must stand up for our security, and for the permanent rights and hopes of mankind. By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.

JH2, I believe it was right here that your conclusion of the nature of his speech was realized:
