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.

Alright, I shouldn't do this, but one guy commented "He's saying they replaced computer hard drives. I never heard of such a thing." I've seen people like this on Jerry Springer, but who the heck put them in front of a keyboard?

[Humidston]

OK....

BILL AND HILL *BOTH* KNEW!!

I remember chilled-to-the-bone as Marlin Fitzwater announced "The Liberation of Kuwait has begun..." back in 91. Still Rooting for Operation Desert Justice. (The moslems were offended by Infinite Justice but hell with that - Justice is what the US military is ALL ABOUT these days.

[DoughtyOne]

I'll provide one later today.

"Me thinks someone over thereat FOX is lurking...."


If I had to guess which FNC reporter was a lurker, I'd vote for Sheppard Smith. Maybe David Asman.

[fightinJAG]

Excellent information.

[NautiNurse]

"smoking gun" is easier to say than "incontrovertible proof"

I'm afraid we are doomed to hear 'smoking gun.'

[Pearls Before Swine]

Basically, the people in this pub where they had a correspondent stated they believed that Iraq has WMD, but are not convinced he has the means to deliver them.

That argument is more completely stated by adding ...."here." "Here" is relative, but thinking about it tells you a lot about the speaker.

The US liberals are sure that they can't be delivered ..."Here" by which they mean near where they live. They went back to sleep a few months after 9/11, because most of them didn't live in Manhattan. The French are convinced that they won't be delivered in France, but ..."here" first, by which I mean the US.

[William McKinley]

The French retreat started when there was a position that they had to take.

As always, they chose the wrong one.

And then, as always, they were condescending and obnoxious about it.

And as always, they will look for a way to cower out and retreat.

But it will be a graceful retreat.

[xsmommy]

Viva, Chile!

[The Great Satan]

I can't understand why Powell brought up the subject of the Daschle anthrax! We all know that had nothing to do with Iraq. That was the work of a domestic terrorist.

Hehe. Hint, hint.

The speech is about what I expected. Same old, same old, but it will be enough to keep pressure up and all eyes on Uncle Soddom. Russia just announced that they don't think any military action should occur before the end of March. All we need to do is push thing out until April and we can use the "blazing heat of the Iraqi summer" as the pretext to buy another six months. Watch.

I wouldn't doubt that lefitst outlets made a nice lead-in for France and highlighted their presentation.

[RonPaulLives]

Get the US out of the UN
Get the UN out of the US

A-MEN!! THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID AGAIN (WITH A RELEVANT WEB LINK, NO LESS).

Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US

[Mad Dawgg]

"If I had to guess which FNC reporter was a lurker, I'd vote for Sheppard Smith. Maybe David Asman."

Hmmm Could be so just in case...

Hi Sheppard, Mrs. Dawgg says you put the FOX in FOX News. (Myself I think it is Ms. Duhe but we have different tastes)

[fightinJAG]

The French want a permanent UN presence in Iraq.

Wayaminnoot. I thought the French were against us because of our imperialist intentions to going in to Iraq and occupying it. But the problem is THEY want to be part of the occupation through their seat on the UN security council.

Okay, got it.

[GUIDO]

just did the poll and couldn't wait to tell them i was a WOMEN supporting the war with the MADMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
tHIS NEEDS TO be BUMPED~!!!!!

[Letitring]

I am so very angry. I awakened to find myself angry, and it's gotten worse with each lying, deceiving, procrastinating word issued from the United (THROW UP) Nations.

[kassie]

What must Colin Powell be thinking??

[twyn1]

If it is Shep Smith -- I hope he takes the "magical police" jokes well -- love ya' Shep !!
