This is like listening to a bad episode of COPS

Bad Boys, Bad Boys

"We're out on the golf course looking for the real Weapons of Mass Destruction....What's that? No, don't mind the decapitated woman and the dog's bloody pawprints on the porch....What? Yes, I own Bruno Magli shoes, but the real killer must have them too...

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

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

[Mo1]

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

[Wait4Truth]

This is the best part yet! Iraq using the NY Times for their defense! I love it! And The Washington Post editorial page has begun siding with the U.S. Howell Raines = defender of Saddam...hehehehehehe...

[Dog]

He quoted an unnamed CIA agent .....saying Powell didn't have a smoking gun....or something like that..

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?

[this_ol_patriot]

Combover keeps referring to the N.Y. Times. AH best friends.

[hchutch]

Amendment:
Strike "they" with "we"

[txradioguy]

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!

[NautiNurse]

Iraqi Combover:

[Bob]

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

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

U2 is touring Iraq? Their lawyer works pro Bono. ehhhhhhhh.

[txradioguy]

If comb-over says the evidence is fabricated, I have two words for him.


PROVE IT!!!!

[razorbak]

We don't need a smoking gun. Iraq is a smoking country.

[Dog]

Now Fox is showing the evening news from Baghdad..

[YaYa123]

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.

[TigersEye]

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.
