For the record, French Fries were invented in Belgium. Now it is true that the Belgians speak French (some of them, anyway), but it's probably more likely that the Belgians hate the French because the French took credit for one of their two inventions (the other being the waffle).

He done good for The Bronx today!!

POWELL: "Maybe the Iraqis just manufacture their weapons to a higher standard than we do, but I doubt it." LMAO!! I can't wait to see this on C-Span tonight.
LOL ! I got a laff outta his statement.
C-Span...LOL !! Yeah, I bet, lol !
Brit Hume said that he felt that Powell has made a very compelling case to any reasonable person...

Diane Feinstein is on with Brokaw. She said Iraq is threat to neighbors - still not to strong for war.No, she waffled, and said it's time for the UN to live up to its obligations. Basically she's doing a CYA and hoping the UN will do the "authorizing" for war so that she can then come on board without pissing off her RAT cohorts.
To: cyncooper
Feinstein hates to day it...
Anotherwords she is on the record that she wishes Saddam could have pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. Dear Diane continues to live down to my expectations.

China just threw itself in with Baghdad! A very bad strategic move is what that ambassador just made.

"I think that Bush has by far the most talented and savvy foreign affairs team the US has had in my lifetime."
not sure how old you are, but what about Gerald Ford?
To: arasina
CHINA SAYS IT CONCLUDES THAT MORE INSPECTIONS ARE WHAT IS NEEDED??? Remember that this is in diplo-speak. The key to this would be whether China calls for greater cooperation from Iraq -- because if they continue to fail to cooperate, then China would essentially be calling for war.

I am not happy about it, I just don't see any way around it. And that's the truth.
Can't compromise with the Islamists OR the communists. Both will get their way eventually if they're left alive to flourish.
And I will not live their way, so.....

Says we need to demand U2 overflights. This guy is ridiculous. This is the left's new gambit, as signalled by Hillary! The U2 gambit allows the UN to demand the flights in a resolution and wait for compliance, giving Saddam at least another month.
The American left will NEVER allow this attack...they are signalling he UN NOT to allow this attack.
The UN will not give in yet...We must go without the UN ASAP.

China is all for stalling. Nuff said. Go to school free-traders. Mainland Chinese not free traders -- just using "free trade" as a tactic, once they gain the upper hand, they'll throw down that cloak and be as imperial/elitist as always.

I think everyone on the Council gets a 7 minute response, in turn -- half will be with us -- the other half will say the case hasn't been made and inspections should continue (what part of- we are not on a scavenger hunt do they NOT understand ??)

F**k Helen! Not even with a steel-belted radial condom.
To: cyncooper
...UN must enforce their resolution or they in fact will be irrelevant.
Nothing else need be said, IMHO.
To: lainie
(Is her speech transcripted anywhere?) I do not know.
I bought the audio tape of it while there; they said that videos were not available.
To: mhking
FOFLOL!
