Please tell me he is NOT going over there to vouch for them or speak for them. He cannot possibly be doing that.He's staying in Japan till Friday (three days to check out the Loose Socks crowd!) and then going to a "seminar" in the United Arab Emirates.
To: Yaelle
Shep Smith, in reference to something which I don't remember, possibly at the time of the snipers in DC, accidentally saidThe topic was "Jennifer Lopez".
LOL!

The initial Gulf War ended with an agreement by an Iraq to disarm - it's all part of the UN resolutions. I always wondered if war could be re-started merely due to a treaty violation.
The fools at DU are obvious racists, in my view. Merely because Saddam is browner than George W. Bush, they see him as being less capable of being a threat.

To: Howlin
The way I heard it.
He said that Powell's words on concealment were false and it was something that Scott Ritter made up (that was then-reverse of what Ritter is saying now) and to ask him about it. He is still happily still around.
I am open for corrections on this from anybody

Did you just see them being served wine or champagne at the luncheon? I didn't know that the UN had a license to serve alcohol.

I don't blame him. His butt is literally on the line. Probably wondering if they're torturing and raping his wife and children back home.

The Iraqi Ambassador is bringing up NY Times and Ritter to appeal to the real influence peddlers in the world - American entertainment newsmedia.
Sorry, Iraq. The adults are now in charge in DC.

To: Southflanknorthpawsis
You gotta hand it to these guys -- as my Mom used to say "they lie like a rug on the floor"
I still can't get their reasoning that the US is in violation of the resolution -- because we didn't tell what evidence we were collecting about iraqi missdeeds ?? Are they admitting that they're doing something wrong ?? It's the same as them saying "we have no WMD" but if you attack us "we will use chemical weapons on your troops"

I'm rewatching the CSPAN version now. Shep started talking over the chinese statement etc... so hopefully I'll get the full version this time. I also missed a lot of the graphics the first time around due to posting stuff!

Scott Ritter has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saddam Hussein Inc. for at least four years now.

Those of us listening, without the benefit of e-mail communication with Shep, simply heard the "some kind of magical pollicemen" statement. Later, when you have time, go back and check the live thread.
I like Shep, and I think he has a good heart. Once in a while though, he gets a bit excitable and an occasional goofy phrase comes out. He will, I am sure, improve.
And he is definitely an improvement over any of the other network anchors (Rather, Jennings, etc.) and it WAS a funny statement!
To: Terriergal
Yes, it was a compelling tale that Iraqi told. Caught with a gun - shot on the spot. Say one word against the regime - disappear forever. Said some of his own family disappeared without a trace some eleven years ago. (I know you just heard it, Tg, just repeating for benefit of the forum.) He confirmed every allegation of abuse, lying and power by terror that has been made.
To: mass55th
