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.

"Listening to all of this, one thing is crystal clear - clinton knew all of this and did NOTHING."

Yep! The same thing can be said for just about every other problem that Bush has had to clean up after the Master Masterbater.

I got yanked into a meeting at 11 (grumble, grumble), but I'm nearly caught up on the thread...

[MamaLucci]

Incoming!

[fivecatsandadog]

Saddam Hussein = dead man walking

[Cosmo]

if the Rats think that this is about partisan politics and that they need to rebut their own Secretary of State speaking before the UN on behalf of the U.S., then god save America.

[Peach]

One would think at least the human rights issue being brought up now would appeal to the peaceniks "concern" for innocent deaths.

[Poohbah]

I wonder if Saddam's pager is about to go off with a brief message: the Arabic equivalent of "Saddam, you're f***ed."

[woodyinscc]

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

This is a given!! Their position is just another example of putting party and politic's over country and principle.
Remember the lie is their best friend.

[Freedom2specul8]

Bump...

[alancarp]

I can't wait to see Chis Mathews face after this .. "

As much as the press would like to ignore it - Powell is giving MULTIPLE sources and MULTIPLE examples for Every Single Point.

[biblewonk]

Bush has no experience making presentations like this. Powell has done it for decades.

How does an Army lieutenant dig a hole: answer: "Sergeant, take some privates and go dig a hole"

[MeekOneGOP]

Great graphic !

Powell: Iraq's denials of WMD and terrorism is a "web of lies !"

[Terriergal]

Thanks for the pics They will make great signs when we Freep the peaceniks in Lansing, MI. Feb 15th

PRICELESS!

[arasina]

"He trusts his people."

A GOOD LEADER KNOWS HOW TO DELEGATE.

Bush is a GREAT leader!

[twyn1]

Iraq denials are a "WEB of LIES" -- siad in such a quiet and forthright tone

Now going on to Human Right Violations & the threat Saddam Hussein poses to all

[prairiebreeze]

mustard and nerve gas against the Kurds

mass summary executions and disappearances, aribritrary jailing ,ethnic cleansing

police state ruthlessly eliminates anyone who dares to dissent

calculated cruelty to this own citizens and neighbors

[pyx]

The evidence that Secretary Powell is presenting is not new and has been irrefutable for well over one year. Removal of Hussein and his regime is well overdue.

[tuna_battle]

Powell referring to Saddam in PAST TENSE!, many times during speech. "Saddam Hussein was", etc. Anyone else picking up on this? I love it!

[carton253]

No more frog pictures! They slow down my connection. Though it's a good frog picture.

[Terriergal]

TENS OF THOUSANDS of people DISAPPEARING??? Holy cow!
