FRANCE foreign minister speaking on CSPAN NOW

Still talking about continuing inspections..

[Japedo]

You could put a wind power generator in the center of this room and power all of Manhattan.

LOL! WELL SAID!

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

French poodle now on. They probably sold more tanks and supplies to Iraq 10 minutes before the meeting.

[xsmommy]

Dang French-speaking wussies. my BP is going up just listening to the cameroonian and now the french idiot.

[Mo1]

France says it's up to the inspectors to evaluate what Powell stated and report back

HELLO ..

[demnomo]

The spin has already begun. Tom Browkow is stating on PMSNBC that Powell's presentation did not present a smoking gun and was over-hyped by the "sources" so to speak. May he and his cowardly, liberal heart rot in hell. Go to Baghdad, Tom. Tell Saddamn you thought Powell's presentation was a bunch of (as he put it) "hyper-bole."

[Bob]

talking head is saying the evidence presented today is "conservative"

that there is lots more evidence that can't be publically showed

WOW. if this is "conservative"....I'm scared sh**less!!

One can only imagine the additional evidence that Powell can show to other heads of state behind closed doors. Today, he only showed the minimal (and most generic) intelligence necessary to make the case.

[fightinJAG]

If Bush knew what? What was the point of Brian Williams' question?

If Bush knew this stuff about Saddam, which of course Powell said this is a pattern of the last decade, does Brian think Bush should have preemptively struck Iraq pre 9/11, but now, post 9/11, Bush doesn't have enough evidence?

Here's the transcript of the French Minister:

"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...and blah."

[abnegation]

I don't think the froggie is spewing just air, methane gas instead.

[Terriergal]

Make sure you get pics of the protest, with the signs, and freepmail me!

[twyn1]

...French Cameroon. He wants Kofi to go to Iraq to speak to Saddam. BWHAHAHAHAHA!

LOL -- I wonder what Kofi thaought of that ?? -- he probably wouldn't want to get his nice Armani suit all wrinkled

[angcat]

Linda had a baby, my god I never knew she was with child she did not show it!

[jgrubbs]

What is France going to say...

"We didn't mean to tip off the inspectors."

[fightinJAG]

Oooh, that was tacky or else the diplomatic gaffe of the century.

[arasina]

Does this mean I have to give up cheesecake? Waaaahhh!

[Momto2]

A quote from my 13 year old...... "Sounds like the U.S. and Great Britain are the only nations that have a dab of sense."

[Dog]

France: NO bio or chem weapons found by the inspectors so far...

HELLOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
