Powell Speech to UN Live Thread

[Support Free Republic]

Might as well start up the live thread. Speech starts at 10:30 EST (scheduled), which is within the hour.

[rintense]

Yep. FNC said that Powell wouldn't give the scary details to the UN because it could put the lives of some folks in jeopardy.

[apackof2]

Soon, rintense, very soon

Pray for Our Troops

approx .6 miles.

[Kip Lange]

Iraq providing *safe haven for terrorists*. Y'all know what that means.

[spectre]

Here comes the Terrorist and Saddam connection. Camp located in North Eastern Iraq.

"Rison"...less than a pinch of salt would cause shock, followed by death in 72 hours.

Bagdad has an agent that controls this safe-haven.

On and on...Go Powell, go!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Dircectly behind Colin is CIA head George Tenet and our UN rep. John (?) Negroponte.

Our concern is not just with these illicite weapons, but the way these illicite weapons can be used (for terrosim). (Today's terrorist threat combines) classic terrorist organizations and modern methods of murder.

Detailing names and histories of modern terrorists and their cells. Connecting Al Qeada to Bagdhad...now been working freely in the city for 8 months.

[CaptainJustice]

Thanks for the Pics. Me and my coworkers are skipping a staff meeting to stay tuned to this

[Wondervixen]

Then he looked at his watch and asked "Which way to Burger King?...I have a date."

[arm958]

He is one of the best speakers I've heard.

I was one of many who criticized Powell in his first year as Sec State. I humbly take it all back.

[Terriergal]

After today, I DARE anyone....especially the media.....to say that "the case has not been made."

they're already saying it. YOu have freepmail!

[Lawdoc]

If I recall, a kilometer is very roughly equivalent to two thirds of a mile. Others can probably be more specific.

[Hatteras]

I was just responding to a question posed earlier about how the liberals are going to spin this. I think the response from "that other place" would be indicative.

Know your enemy...

[mass55th]

Saddam = toast

Yeah, stick him with a fork...he's done!

[dittomom]

Al-Qaeda have been operating in Iraq for more than eight months!!!

[lainie]

Good cop -- bad cop. Excellent!

[Howlin]

If Tom Daschle has seen ONE TENTH of this stuff, he's a damn liar.

Is there any wonder why they revved up their attacks on Bush last week? Nobody will listen to ONE WORD they say now.

[goldylight]

do you think that when we go into iraq china will take the oppurtunity to try and take taiwan? north korea goes south all at the same time?

[cyncooper]

Everyone can understand and follow what he is saying.

It is riveting and stunning. I just glanced at the clock and he's been speaking for over an hour.

Now explaining the effects of Ricin--no antidote, it is fatal.

Baghdad has an agent that controls a northern corner of Iraq. Al Qaeda was offered AND accepted a safe haven in this area where they remain today.

A member of Al Qaeda was brought to Baghdad for medical treatment. While he was there some Al Qaeda members came to Baghdad where they have set up operations. While Baghdad denies a relationship it defies the evidence.

More than money and material--last year to A Q operatives caught leaving.

[Timesink]

I am dyin to know what kind of screeching is going on at that that OTHER political site....

A lot of eyerolling, a lot of snooty posts containing the phrase "amateurish presentation," and not one iota refuting the content.

[baseballmom]

Sorry Bob, I knew that - I just reread it under your post and got doubly angry ?? Sorry,
