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.

[1Old Pro]

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

The Left will squirm, dance,and spin this into the tired old "more inspections needed" crap.

[Howlin]

Exactly. And we should NEVER forget that.

[TontoKowalski]

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.

It's just as well. Sleep won't come easily, as it is.

[rintense]

I wonder what shirt Sheryl Crow will make now?

[Vermont Lt]

Watch the "Powell for Veep" signs start at noon....and Powell for President at 12:01

[lainie]

[Catspaw]

Linking Saddam & al Qaeda to the murder of Lawrence Foley.

[Trust but Verify]

What worries me is that some of our senators and congresscriters knew of this information and still were willing to risk national security for partisan politican gain.

You shouldn't be worried, you shouldn't even be surprised. But you should be sickened and disgusted. I am.

[tuna_battle]

"Power Point!"

Yes, indeed. I just hope Powell's password-protected screen saver doesn't come on, 20 minutes into the presentation, and he has to call the help desk to retrieve his password.

[Marysecretary]

Homefries aren't the same. That name's already taken. American fries is good. I'll vote for that one.

[RummyChick]

Have you watched UN stuff before? Is it normally this quiet?

[DoughtyOne]

Yep. Here we go alright. Was there any doubt? One thing you learn in debate. Don't make a comment that will put you in a corner. The left never seems to learn this lesson. They constantly position themselves so that later on they look positively stupid, with no wiggle room. It was a given that al Qaeda and the Taliban operated throughout the region. They were almost a religion, or a subset of a religion. Those types of efforts don't stop at borders. Duh!

[apackof2]

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

No one is surprised at this except the idiot peace-niks

[BenLurkin]

a Rat Rebuttal?

Can't be!

[hellinahandcart]

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

In Baghdad!

Abu Nidal (now deceased) and AbuAmmas were not the only terrorists who found a home there.

[hchutch]

Will Prague come up soon?
