I've never seen Powell look as angry as he does right now or as serious.

Was that the same CIA Agent that was on Hannity & Colmes the other night claiming that we want to control the Iraqi Water also??

Said that Iraq didn't use chemical weapons in 1988 because they didn't have any. What a maroon. Did he get his talking points from the DNC?

Comb-over just called an Ex 4-Star General a liar. Powell is on his cell phone now telling his wife to get his Desert BDU's out, he's gotta take a little trip in a couple weeks!

Poll over at MSNBC on Powell's speech. Thus far, he seems to have made a convincing case to the "public". CNBC poll just wrapped up:
80% - made his case
20% - didn't

It doesn't matter what this guy says. He's lying, he knows he's lying, and everyone in the room knows he's lying too.
The only thing that will matter (groan..."at the end of the day"), is what the 3 networks cover tonight. Will they show Powell's strong points? Will they provide balanced assessments? How will they divide the time between Powell statements, commentators, and what the lying Iraqi says.
That's what will determine public opinion here. And face it, that's the major importance of Colin Powell making this presentation to the UN today, to persuade the American people that we are righteous in going to war with Iraq. Makes me sick to think "public opinion" is in the hands of Peter, Tom, and Dan.
To: Terriergal
Going to other room to listen---my monitor screws up reception.Well I hope the guy is still on the line or I'll feel bad now. lol He said he lived in Iraq until he was 50 and when he was a kid he was forced to go to demonstrations and cheer. Said the kids didn't know what it was about.
