Yes. It's just like the Rats coming out against Bush's tax plan before they ever heard it.
Obstructionist is as obstructionist does.

It explains also why they were in favour of bombing the Serbs. The Albanians are more swarthy than Serbs, and the Serbs are whiter than Clinton, the first "black" President, so go ahead and bomb the hell out of them.
What the DU crowd never want to acknowledge is that people of varying races are just as capable of achievement and just as capable of evil as each other.

And now the Market does what it does best... be a Market
It's not a poll, try and learn something here.... I see this here too many times. Its fine to be positive but you can't bring in the Market to prove a political point of view. No matter how clear and true it is.
To: Miss Marple
I think there are Iraqis and Iraqi sympathizers in that group, as well as a lot of the anti-war groups that have suddenly popped up. DU undoubtedly has trolls, just like FR does. The denizens of that site are ready-made useful idiots, and it would be very surprising if Iraqi intelligence (and others) aren't in there stirring the pot.

Scott Ritter has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Saddam Hussein Inc. for at least four years now. We got enough to put Benedict Scottie-boy up on treason charges yet?

Howlin, was it the combover guy who, the other day, invoked the name "bill clinton" as the source for all of their WMD being destroyed?
These Iraqis have now used clinton, the NY Times, and now Scott Ritter as references!
And now we hear that DU(h) is curiously spouting some very similar talking points to this nervous guy that was just talking.
Curious, yet not, in its own way.

I agree with you 100% - and although Powell is not personally a favorite of mine, I do think he was given this post for the very reason that he would present the diplomatic reasons on issues - which were needed to counter Rumsfelds hawkish reasons.
This way, the President gets both sides before HE finally decides.
And ... I also agree this method is very comforting to me. Much better than all the "yes" men surrounding x42.

I think "smoking gun" should be replaced with "mushroom cloud."
We haven't see a "mushroom cloud." Yet.

"Yep---said, "Ask Scott Ridder. He is still happily around."
Ritter is currently in Japan, trying to stir up anti-American sentiment. Said when we attack Iraq, before the end of the month, tha No Korea will take advantage of our military being engaged and will strike Japan. Speculated about the level of nuclear destruction in Tokyo. What an unspeakable low life.

Question....
Where is the new statement by 10 additional European countries supporting us?? It was supposed to be presented today after Powell's speech??
Have any of the other stations mentioned it? I was watching CNN... not surprised it hasn't been mentioned there yet.

For some reason, I don't like Shep and I can't really pinpoint why. He doesn't seem mature enough, kinda silly at times. I just can't seem to take him seriously, sometimes.
To: Tamsey
Sorry I didn't get that one up quicker. The Iraqi name sounded familiar. I'm suprised FOX hasn't made the connection yet. They just mentioned Amir al-Saadi again and didn't connect him to Powell's earlier statements.

Well get ready to have it explode even more. Ted Kennedy is coming up. How appropriate. One blowhard (Kennedy) following another blowhard (Al Saadi).

I don't have a clue. That's OK, neither do the folks at DU. It's their motto. DU = 'Democratic Underground'. They would like to think they are Free Republic's opposite number, but they don't even come close to rising to that level.
