So I guess, in summary...
They have chemical WMD.
They have biological WMD.
They are trying really hard to have nuclear WMD.
They have been testing and building delivery systems.
They have been actively hiding all of this from UN inspectors.
They have been supplying terrorists with weapons, support, cash, etc. They have been meeting with Al Qaeda leaders.
It would seem to me that the only response "the left" of any country can have is that we manufactured this evidence. I am willing to bet that will be the shrill chorus.

Dear China;
Dead Americans can't buy your cheap crap. So you do have an interest in this. Look at your wallet again then get back to us.

Oh my GOD, my radio has some poli sci professor from Gonzaga and he remains "unconvinced." What a moron. He slammed W and said he respects Powell much more, as do the American people. He calls for containment.
What's the immediacy says? Unfrickinbelievable.
Says we need to demand U2 overflights. This guy is ridiculous.
This is not the be all and end all from the USA. I can't believe this.

Watching him be such a tough guy just now (and being believable at it) gave me a whole new appreciation for how he normally goes about his job.
He always gives me the impression that he's wishy-washy. But today he was all backbone. It made me think that the whole wishy-washy thing is probably a very important part of being a good diplomat.
I mean, who's going to jump up and call Colin Powell a partisan hack? His usual moderate demeanor gives him credibility when he takes a firm stand.
I just loved it.

CSPAN still has live UN coverage... UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw speaking NOW..

CHINA SAYS IT CONCLUDES THAT MORE INSPECTIONS ARE WHAT IS NEEDED???And we wondered why the Chinese gave so much money to keep the demorats in the WH in 1996?
To: goldylight
China had that response written a week ago. We'll know their real response in a day or two. It will probably be more along the lines of "We don't care. Do what you want. Keep buying our trinkets."
