Powell Speech to UN Live Thread

[Catspaw]

He's bringing up Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad...plus al Qaeda. I wonder if it makes a difference to the Palie symps or are they going to say, "Hamas is a charitable organization."

Brer Bush: Please don't make me get UN approval!

Brer Daschle: Aha! Make him get UN approval!

Brer Bush: Please don't make me get Congressional approval!

Brer Daschle: Aha! Make him get Congressional approval!

Brer Bush: Please don't make me wait until the inspectors make a report!

Brer Daschle: Aha! Make him wait until after the inspectors make a report!

Brer Bush: Please don't make me provide evidence before the UN!

Brer Daschle: Aha! Make him provide evidence before the UN!

Brer Bush: Please don't make me get a second UN resolution!

Will Daschle fall for the next piece of bait, or will he just concede and let Bush attack Iraq with the full backing of the Democratic party? Tune in tonight at 6 and watch the evening news to find out!

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

To be frank, I don't think Bush could do this good of a job at an 1 1/2 presentation.

And I think President Bush knows that, too. He knows this is too important to give an INCH to the people who would dwell on his occasional verbal gaffes. And he is humble enough to allow Powell to steal the limelight for what may be THE signature moment in this conflict. He trusts his people.

[Freedom2specul8]

Spec, They gots pics, phone calls, human testimony..what else will "They" need?

[concerned about politics]

Bin Ladin trained in Iraq for chem weapons!! Iraq offered chem training and weapons from Iraq. Helped accuire poisons and weapons as "successful."

[Lee'sGhost]

"Dime to donuts says this will be the new rallying cry of the left-- "They'll use the WMDs on our troops!!!"

Pelosi, in fact, has already said this."

But, but, thy have NO WMDs!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

NONE OF THIS SHOULD COME AS A SURPRISE TO ANY OF US.

Quote of the day.

[hchutch]

Meeting with intel agents. PATTERN.

Okay, operative talking about Iraqi training in WMD... al-Qaeda goes to Iraq... TWO associates beginning in December 2000...

[cyncooper]

Bin Laden went to Iraq

[Fitzcarraldo]

Former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter of the United States makes a point during his speech in Tokyo February 5, 2003.

Does Ritter's Asian itinerary include a visit to the child prostitutes of Bangkok?

[BenLurkin]

Biden is a pompous stuffed parrot.

[Terriergal]

>There will be a Rat Rebuttal? What the hell for?

Because they just cant Shut up.

[carton253]

Benjamin Netanyahu said in 1995 that Iraq was the greatest threat to Middle East peace because Iraq uses terrorists so effectively. It is a weapon in his hand. Get rid of Saddam and the terrorists loose alot of money, haven, infrastructure.

[Catspaw]

I can't wait to see Chis Mathews face after this .. wonder if he'll still say Iraq is not a threat to us?

Of course he will, using up vast amounts of spit to do it, too.

[prairiebreeze]

human rights violations now

[aught-6]

The French ambassador has this strange look on his face, as though he's been caught out on a limb (or kicked in the "cajones").

[dittomom]

ALL I know is, I don't wanna hear ANYMORE Demo-rats sayin' that Iraq is a distraction from the war on terror!!!

[hellinahandcart]

The left could not care less about whether "a case has been made". All they (specially euro-lefties) are concerned with is using "multilateral" organizations like the UN to tie down and "rein in" (their own nauseating phrase) the USA.

Our enemies are all around us, and not just outside the borders. They don't just want us reined in, they want us brought under their total control.

We're going to have to kill half the people in the world before this is over. There are too many of them and they will never stop as long as they live, so they'll have to be killed. It's them or us.
