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.

Thanks. As the Chinese guy was speaking, I saw Powell take a long, deep breath of disgust.

You got that right. The idiot poli sci professor on the radio said flat out, "I don't trust President Bush and I am very skeptical of his policies."

Good Lord.

The only proof France would believe is if Saddam himself went to downtown Paris and detonated a tactical nuke....and even then....

Even then, they'd say "Oh, vee ztill need more inzpecshunz..."

[CaptainJustice]

You know how it is with Chinese ... have an Inspection and an hour later you need to have another one. LMAO

[prairiebreeze]

Jack straw called it a lie

My fave was the picture showing the "cleaned up" weapons site WITH THE U.N. VEHICLES PULLING UP TO THE SIDE GATE!

God save us from fools.

[hellinahandcart]

War is more like a civil suit, IMO. Preponderance of the evidence is quite sufficient for me.

The criminal trials come later.

The responses at this meeting will not be significant. The diplomats who are speaking had what they would say prepared and approved by their respective administrations before they arrived. The Chinese diplomat would have said that if Powell had shown naked pictures of Barbara Boxer, or if Powell had shown pictures of Saddam feeding anthrax spores directly to infants.

What will be important is what Chinese diplomats say tomorrow, and what French diplomats say tomorrow, and so forth.

And when I say important, I mean in a relative way. In the grand scheme of things, what matters is what the President thinks is important, and what the American people think is important.

The only way to convince these opponents of war is to show them a picture of Saddam with a drill in his hand hugging a missle - but then again they will say he was just putting up curtains!

The Iraqi representative in attendance looked like someone...er, 'urinated in his Cheerios'.

[fightinJAG]

Sad, but true.

[carton253]

And he already has said that he will act with a willing coalition. Action isn't in doubt. Only who will come with us.

You got that right. The idiot poli sci professor on the radio said flat out, "I don't trust President Bush and I am very skeptical of his policies."

Are you listening to NPR or something?

U2 Flights area a PART of 1441!!!!

[DoughtyOne]

Yes Diane did acknowledge that. I believe it's more imporant that the slimey character of this nitwit still manages to ooze out between the cracks.

Despite the evidence that Powell provided, she's "sorry" he could present it. Good Lord woman!

[dead]

Jack Straw sounds like Austin Power's more serious brother.

Yeah baby!

[section9]

Just heard on my radio that France wants PROOF of the assertions that Powell just made.

Why? So the duplicitous little cheese-eating surrender monkey Vichy swilling motherf%#kers can pass on sources and methods to Baghdad.

God I hate the French.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Man, you made me laugh out loud in my cubicle! Haha!

What did the Chinese guy say? I missed it...

[Timesink]

Jack Straw is directly comparing the UN to the League of Nations! Ha ha haaa!
