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.

No Michael. Just sits wagging his head in agreement, with the terrorist nations' statements.

I recall something similar happening in NATO during the Kosovo bombing. A French officer was accused of leaking target lists to the Serbs. If memory serves me correctly and I'm not having an Ozzie moment. . .

aggresive inspections=depends on..what is is=weasel words.

[NautiNurse]

PLEASE explain what the heck they mean by "aggresive inspections" ???

As I mentioned before---Faster vehicles to chase the evidence traveling around the desert, and four zillion more U.N inspectors to direct the process.

[Constitution Day]

Wow!
I think that's likely warranted and yes, I did get your point. (smile)

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Is the U.N. soon to become as insignificant as the League of Nations ??

From the responses to Powell's damning evidence, it sure looks that way.

France wants stronger inspections

[Cate]

AAAAAAAAAAAAgggggggggggggggghhhhh!!!! If I could wish on a genie's tummy, the wish would be to have a button to give the dude from Syria an electric shock to make him stop with this dribbling fabrications.... phew, I feel better now.

Depriving. HOW SICK CAN A PEOPLE, OR EVEN WORSE: A GOVERNMENT, BE THAT THEY DON´T SEE THE THREAT FROM THAT EVIL SYSTEM IN THAT SHITTY LITTLE COUNTRY IN THE MIDEAST??

[twyn1]

Bwah-hah-ha !!

[xsmommy]

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

just for kicks and giggles, here's a link to what looks like an offical English text iraqi site:
http://www.bagdad.com

My favorite bit is the flash sidebar saying that: "American Invaders will be eaten like rabbits."

I think Registered should do a graphic of Sadam Hussein as Elmer Fudd.

Also, I wonder if the libs getting their anti-war talking points from this site.

[Freedom2specul8]

AFter today I'm convinced that iraq was also behind 911 and that portion of Powells speech kind of confirmed what my biggest fear is.

[abnegation]

The Snearian began with: "We are a friend of France.." Nuf said.

[William McKinley]

Syria is right about one thing. The evidence Powell presented does point to the failure of the UN to accomplish the goals of 1441 peacefully.

Of course, their answer is to try, try again.

I don't think we agree.

And I don't think the UN will survive all these nations holding on to the view of Syria.

We may be seeing the end of the UN, and for that we should all be grateful.

[Samurai_Jack]

Okay... Here is the thing, These people simply dont get it? All of this 'Word Salad' from the diploweiners are meaningless. Extending the 'inspections' in the face of the evidence that Iraq is NOT Submitting to the Inspectors!

The United Nations Is Finished!
Powell raised the spectre of the League of Nations for a reason.

I apologize to the real LP people on here that Imight have offended.

I'm not an LP. I don't know what they're up to. I'm sort of an "l". I look forward to finding out what the French and Germans have been up to, in the rubble after the war.
