[Support Free Republic]

Might as well start up the live thread. Speech starts at 10:30 EST (scheduled), which is within the hour.

"The French say the ispections have been a huge success"

12+ chemical warheads found out of 29,000?

The French fuzzy math must be even worse than Rat fuzzy math.

[Afronaut]

Perhaps, the markets will be normal again.

The Markets are NORMAL, They have been for the last few months. This is what a normal market looks like. Get used to it and pray it stays like this. And I am not talking about direction.

[Mr. Mojo]

A fitting end to Saddam: The US locks him into one of his labs and given his fear of germs, expose him to one of his more choice bio weapons. Let him die a long, slow agonizing death.

Excellent idea!

CNN: US senior counterterrorism official: "threat level is definitely up," we should act as if he have already bombed Iraq

[txradioguy]

For the Liberalitarians amongst us, one of your hero's, Neal Boortz said flat out today on his website that he can't think of "one good reason to oppose military action in Iraq." So I guess that anti-War LP crowd on here can now go eat cheese with their surrender monkey buddies.

[OneLoyalAmerican]

That's pretty good.

Hey Shep check this thread:

Was Scott Ritter compromised by Amn Al-Khass!

[Terriergal]

Thanks for that poll link. It deserves its own FREEP thread.

Poll Analysis:

How did Colin Powell do in his U.N. presentation?

* 28877 responses

He made a convincing case for the U.S. to attack Iraq with or without U.N. support.
76% -- Repuplicans and thinking Democrats, Independents, and other parties.

He provided some new information, but not enough for the U.S. to go it alone.
21% - Hardcore democrats and political opponents

His case was so weak that the U.N. should consider suspending arms inspections.
3% - al Qaeda operatives and liberal Holywood stars

Angola: "The reports and clarifications provided to the counsel by the inspectors a few days ago...and the supplementary information a few minutes ago from Sec'y Powell...we deem this development...brings new elements...that is important to monitor the situation...within the framework of the security counsel."

Oh well...

[fightinJAG]

It bears repeating:

One freeper posted that the Camarooni speech (is that with or without linguine, please?) consisted of:

STOP! Or we'll yell stop AGAIN!

[unspun]

Yes. FReepers, please forward to the French you know:

[Constitution Day]

The Others (who must *coughD* *ahemU* not be named) say today's stock rise is due to the nefarious machinations of the Plunge Protection Team! Always a conspiracy!

Puhleeeeze!
I actually heard a caller on C-Span's Sunday morning call in say that the Columbia disaster was "no accident" and that "Bush and the warmongers" were happy.

[abnegation]

Syria is up next....oh boy.

[twyn1]

What must Colin Powell be thinking??

Not sure what he's thinking, but I bet it will take a lot of self-control to stay civil during the follow-up luncheon (if it was me -- I'd definitely spill something that would be a bear to get out all over the French chick's outfit)

[PBRSTREETGANG]

...we should act as if he (sic) have already bombed Iraq

Well, if we have to live that way, then we should already be bombing Iraq.

[Mr. Mojo]

Boortz is usually a hawk on matters military, and is therefore not a "true" libertarian.

And God bless him for that.

[Timesink]

I actually heard a caller on C-Span's Sunday morning call in say that the Columbia disaster was "no accident" and that "Bush and the warmongers" were happy.

*rolling eyes* Yeah. That's why they blew it up over Texas instead of the Pacific Ocean, so thousands of people would get to inspect the parts.

[Jewels1091]

[xsmommy]

OMG, this is SERIOUS, we must..... MONITOR!!! good grief....

[fightinJAG]

Yes, I'm looking forward to the "Behind The Music" episode on the Mods.
