We do not want a "smoking gun",...

Didn't they find some sort of undeclared weapon yesterday...not the casing; but the weapon itself? (Or did I imagine this?)

[Overtaxed]

Heads up!

Who? What? Where?

[Kip Lange]

His speech to the UN re: The Cuban Missile Crisis w/ satellite photos, etc.

A long time Brit friend of mine once told me:
France is a lovely country. Why it's got beautiful scenery, tremendous arts, great food, perfect weather, fine wine and scrumptious cheese. It's just a pity it's filled with French.

"Sorry, had to get that off my shoulders. Returning to normal, soon.

I'm with you!
Just remember, Matthews audience is in the tank and most of them are base liberals.

"any international institutions on which to strut." They have been dependant on others to protect them for a LOooooooonnnng time. the "helpless female syndrome"

[prairiebreeze]

they are reporting Powell now talking (9:15 CST) with German Sec. Fischker (sp)

[Catspaw]

I would've preferred Brit Hume, Tony Snow or David Asman. Heck, I'd love to have Linda Vester back from maternity leave early rather than Shep Smith.

Dog, here we are....a few minutes from history in the making...

And I shouldn't have had that last cup of coffee .. I am a wreck .. LOL

[nina0113]

>>coffee must be the only thing that the Frogs have guts with<<

Italian is better...that's probably where the French learned it.

She was certainly wearing her Clinton collectible knee-pads last night.

For two nights now she has felt compelled to inform us that clinton rose to the occasion in his handling of the OKC bombing. Any residual respect I had for her left...especially when she reiterated it last night.

She also said she didn't think clinton bombed anyone due to Lewinsky. Krauthammer spoke up saying on the occasion of the Grand Jury appearance he was willing to grant clinton the benefit of the doubt, but when he did it again on the eve of the impeachment vote he changed his mind. That was the last word from the panel and a mighty fine thing that he had the last word on that.

AWESOME MOTORCADE! Powell will be addressing scores of foreign anti-Americans who's job is too mis spend billions of American tax dollars.

[Miss Marple]

Secretary Powell is a fine man, an excellent public servant, and serves the President. I support his DIPLOMATIC position, which is only one arm of the tools we have at our disposal.

I consider myself a patriot, and so is Secretary Powell. Give him a chance. All is not what the New York Times portrays.

[ThinkingMan]

Thank you. That explained it well.

[JohnMac]

I'm all for Mac fries! Once we are through kicking Saddam's butt, we should send all the soap in Iraq to France. But wait, don't the French and Iraqis smell the same? No wonder the French love Iraq so much.

As they were breaking away from the "weird mail truck guy" story, Shep was commenting on how they had gotten the Postal Worker out so easily (right before he broke to...the Bush/Blair conference? can't remember) and referred to them...well, you had to be there..."...uh...are these some kind of MAGICAL policemen there, or what, huh?" (something like that, it was priceless, I'm sure someone remembers it better than I do).

Had to really be there, though. :-) It was the excited energy in his voice. He really made the police sound...*magical*. Hehehe.

[Mo1]

I'd love to have Linda Vester back from maternity

Yep .. BTW .. off topic but did she have her baby yet and if so was it a boy or girl?

[hoosiermama]

LOL

[areafiftyone]
