Okay.....okay.....we get the point.

This one is up and running now.

[DoughtyOne]

When he said he hoped he hadn't offended Iraqi officials by seeming to be biased, I nearly lost my lunch.

On another thread this morning, I wrote that Iraq could have one of those parades with missiles on show, and nuclear warheads attached, and Blix and Annan still wouldn't be sure if Iraq was in violation.

[Howlin]

Who ARE these people that call into C-SPAN? I hope they don't live on my street; I certainly hope I don't have to count on people like that to protect MY neighborhood!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Excuse me, as the Official Disruptor, I ask that you stop, or I'll have to file a grievance with the Disruptor's Union, and they'll go all 'Moose and Cheese' on yo' as... err umm... never mind...

[smith288]

I was just trying to explain to him the differences of opinion...

Bygones!

[Constantine XIII]

That would be great for a long banner at a counter protest! :O)

[Izzy Dunne]

This thread is too important to put up with disrupters!

Why would anybody disrupt THIS thread?
There's nothing here.

[Howlin]

LOL!

Oh, and now we have a caller on C-SPAN who is worried "we" don't have the approval of every living soul in the universe.

[DoughtyOne]

If Blix starts off, "My fellow Iraqis..." we're in trouble. If Ritter is right behind him, try to see if his lips are moving.

[monocle]

The best evidence that Iraq is in material breach is that Blix is requesting more time. If Iraq had fully complied, it is unlikely that more time would be requested.

[RobFromGa]

Well, I can out-disrupt both of you two, with half my brain tied behind my back. LOL!

I think Blix will say that Saddam is not cooperating fully, and that the burden is on Saddam Hussein to prove he has disarmed, not the UN to find weapons. He will give Bush enough room to do whatever he wants.

[smith288]

Excuse me, as the Official Disruptor, I ask that you stop, or I'll have to file a grievance with the Disruptor's Union, and they'll go all 'Moose and Cheese' on yo' as... err umm... never mind...

What school does one go to to obtain a chance of the "Official Disruptor" title?? I can get a new ID but then it would get yanked because my sign-on date would be today...

[hoosiermama]

Someone call c-span quick and let'em hear the other side.

Please give as much detail as possible (and as little bickering)for those of us lurking here for information. THANKS

[copycat]

Blix says this is an "update", and the world demands more time for inspections. Bush should come out in public and give Saddam TEN DAYS to reverse course on his obfuscation. Cite up the report, explain that it is IRAQ'S RESPOSIBILITY to show the inspectors where the weapons are that we already know about, and give him ten days just to change course.

Public opinion will swing as day by day we announce no effort is being made, and we are in by Feb 10.

PUT THE BALL BACK IN SADDAM'S COURT, and dont give him time to swing it back to where we are searching for a "smoking gun...Maybe 7 days is better

[Howlin]

There was one report last night on this forum that said Blix will say that the inspectors have been compromised.

Too much to hope for -- I know.

[prairiebreeze]

*I look at this guy, and I just see incompetence.*

I heard in a recent bio on Blix that is is a lawyer. Didn't know that before.

[abner]

I think its the 'seminar' lefties!

[DoughtyOne]

My what it must be like to be a slave to the media presentations on television. The guy should visit FR for a few weeks. He'd never go back.

[mitchbert]

For anyone having issues getting the CSPAN feed you can try listening at www.cfrb.com for a live feed.

You will need the Surfer Network Plug-IN but it downloads very quickly.

[Chad Fairbanks]

There is no school - you just tell everyone that you are the Official Disruptor, show 'em a fake badge, and away ya go!

So, what do ya think Blix will say?
