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.

[Catspaw]

What will Yasser do if he doesn't have an Iraqi source of funding? Oh, that's right--he'll use the money he gets from the UN.

[hchutch]

Oh, boy...

You know, that Prague cafe chat sounds plausible. VERY plasuible. Hell, it happened. Nobody has proven it did not happen.

[Callahan]

Anybody checked how he DUmmies are handling this? It's bizarre that spoiled leftists within our own borders do more to defend Iraq than the leaders of that country.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Detailing, ending on Iraq's record of human rights abuses!

"Clearly, Saddam Hussein and his regime will stop at nothing until something stops him."

[Freedom2specul8]

He's pretty slippery...especially with the help of al quada

[kaylar]

I agree, and I'd rather it be them...Check out the news page. There's an article just posted a few minutes ago wherein the World Court ordered the USA to halt the execution of 23 illegal alien murderers!

Power Point!

Keynote!

[Darlin']

Yes, it is often quiet since they listen to translators through headsets but there is usually some activity and whispered conversatons going on around the room.

[Terriergal]

nope - it'll get pulled. you have freepmail.

[The Vast Right Wing]

I think Powel should rap it up by saying... you have 15 mins to vote... I have planes in the air as we speak.

LOL, man my keyboard is filled with coffee.

[Centurion2000]

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.

I think you're right .....

FRANCE:

[kjam22]

The rats know that after we kick Iraq... the presidents approval ratings will be through the roof... and there wont' be time to bring them down before Nov 04. Not much they can do about it though. They can look anti-american and lose in 04.... or they can just lose in 04. ????

This picture is a satellite photo, Powell said, that shows what the U.S. secretary of state said indicates the presence of "active chemical munitions bunkers" disguised from U.N. weapons inspectors.

Powell said this is a satellite photograph of the Amiriyah Serum and Vaccine site and a ballistic missile construction site, where trucks were seen shortly before inspectors were to arrive. Powell says those trucks were there to remove evidence.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Bush knows the power in allowing talented people to use their talents-- and not worry about an ego that needs to hog the spotlight like X42.

[prairiebreeze]

Powell hit it out of the park. Can there be ANY doubt among responsible people everywhere?

[John H K]

I'm sick of hearing this falsehood. Bush I spoke to this the other day - the mandate was to remove Iraq from Kuwait.

Indeed. It took immense moral will for Bush I to even go to war at all. People forget this. If Dukakis had been president we would have spent 3 years "waiting for the sanctions to bite" (remember that one? Seems everyone has forgotten that) without firing a shot.

[baseballmom]

Did you here Joe Bidin's comments after the meeting with President Bush?

I heard Joe Biden in the committee meeting with Armitage. He is definitely on board - with a few backhands at W - but he did say, this is NOT a premptive strike - it is a continuation of 1991 - they broke the cease fire agreement (making comparisons to the cease fire agreement of NKorea 1953) I was very surprised - but he is definitely on board.
