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

The french are just cowards who took what we gave and repaid us with the statue of liberty. The germans, well they like bio weapons and do not want to get beat again. China and Russia will never side with us, so yeppers its time to go to war!

[Caesar Soze]

A bit dated, but I'm not subscribed to the SA forum presently so I can't ask the goons to make a new one.

"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)"


You're seeing the PO'd 4-Star General side of him right now. Probably is wondering where in his closet he put his desert BDU's.

[hchutch]

Looks like this will have to be done the old-fashioned way:
By ourselves.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

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

Just don't tell the Rockers.

[xsmommy]

Not only will we yell STOP really loud, but we will be forced to MONITOR you and INSPECT YOU FURTHER, as hard as we can possibly inspect, so help us God.

" Iraqis dismiss Powell's presentation as "lies and fabrications"

Speaking of lies and fabrications,a week or two ago,the NYT had an article stating that the aluminum tubes secretly imported into Iraq, were nothing,basically for use in the baby milk factories-they could not be used in a nuclear program. Powell hit that ridiculous argument out of the park, today. The night of the NYT article,Paul Begala called Bush a liar and fabricator for saying the imported aluminum tubes were for Iraq's nuke program.I think a lot of people on the Democrat side have egg and milk on their face today.

[RichGuy]

Please indicate where you would be serious and where you are being sarcastic!!

Our enemies are all around us, and not just outside the borders. They don't just want us reined in, they want us brought under their total control.

We're going to have to kill half the people in the world before this is over. There are too many of them and they will never stop as long as they live, so they'll have to be killed. It's them or us.

[Napoleon Solo]

Well then how about after the French kick the towel heads TFO of what's left of their country, would the UK then take France over and straighten out their sorry a$$es?? Please!!

[Humidston]

we should already be bombing Iraq

AMEN! Now that the cat's out of the bag, it's time to move forward - before they hide the cheese!

[William McKinley]

They have a pretty good soccer team with a kickass name. The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.

Of course, if they keep toeing the French line, they will be known as the Dominable Ostriches of Cameroon.

[xsmommy]

so i guess every little toenail country is going to have to sound off on this?

[twyn1]

By ourselves

No--NOT by orselves -- what's the count up to now ?? 40 other nations going with us or allowing us access/support

[mass55th]

China: "We should respect the Inspectors wishes and continue the inspections".

In other words: "We should continue allowing Iraq to dupe the UN inspectors, to tap their phone lines, to lie, obfuscate and deceive the world."

[JustPiper]

What did you get from that chick from Cameroon? She's double speaking.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

At the end of the day, with their decision to undermine the US President while excusing Saddam Hussein, the Democrats and their press associates lack any gravitas or moral authority to demand a free lunch, never mind a smoking gun.

George Rebelo Chikot - Angolan Vice Foreign Minister:

"His excellency George Bush". "The question of Iraq has been for twenty years at the center of the international community." Joined resolution against Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Asking for more aggressive, continued inspections with Sec. council and world community support. Example set by African countries - decided a few days ago to free the continent of weapons of mass destruction.

Clintonite-Albright, Carnegie dream of disarming the world - everyone, but their own private bodyguards - as impossible as that is, the dopey children.

Bomb Hollywood.

"RAISING the treat level to ORANGE"

mmmmmm...treat level...

[TigersEye]

So I guess that anti-War LP crowd on here can now go eat cheese with their surrender monkey buddies.

As a pro-"take Saddass out" libertarian I want to thank you for that whine to go along with your cheese.

[Napoleon Solo]

So maybe he's a good old 'MERICAN!!

[Paul L. Hepperla]

It doesn't matter if they get it. Bush is playing a masterful game here that many are missing. IF the UN, along with the security council CHOOSE to do nothing, they are neutering themselves and relegating the UN and it's security council to the historical trash heap.

IF they do something, they support the US.

Either way, Bush and the US win. The only reason Powell gave this speech today is to provide justification to the American people and gain their support and at the same time undermine the entire credibility of the UN!

And it's working!!
