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.

Earlier on this thread, American in Tokyo posted a couple of Japanese headlines...one of which addressed Japanese moving to defend themselves.

If someones investment strategy hangs on what the French say, then they shouldn't be in the market or allowed to hold sharp objects.

LOL. I agree. I was just pointing out the coincidence between the croaking and the turn in the Dow. :=)

Paul Begala called Bush a liar re the aluminum tubes

Okay, enough already. We need to organize a lasered freep of the Forehead. We know he is a GWU every night for live filming of Crossfire.

[TigersEye]

Oh Lord...now teddy kennedy is going to talk...

Does the People's Republic of Massachewsitts have a seat in the UN?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Be very careful... be very , very careful. It is Democraticunderground.com. Don't go there on a full stomach. You will see why. May the force me with you.

[B. Rabbit]

The best that DU can do is rouse some hippies who haven't used underarm deodorant since the Nixon Administration

lol.

[Wait4Truth]

I'm getting ready to listen to Teddy Kennedy's response to Colin Powell...since he spouts what hillary believes but doesn't want to say, we should be able to get a clear idea of the traitor witch's view.

[Jewels1091]

Kennedy just said powell didn't make a case and Korea is more dangerous. He says that Bush has to make a case.

[txradioguy]

BARF ALERT!!! BARF ALERT!!! The Swimmer is speaking!!!

[Jewels1091]

Kennedy wants Bush to put plans out...how are we going to handle this war.

[fightinJAG]

China: "we should respect the inspectors' wishes and continue the inspections"

Hmm, I must have missed where Blix & Co. concluded they were making such great progress, with such great cooperation out of Iraq, that they "wished" to continue.

I'd be surprised if Mr. Blix even wants to return to Iraq at all, after this. He and his compadres are prime pickings for Saddam Human Shield duty, if you ask me.

[Jewels1091]

Ok, can't listen to blubber brain anymore....

[Damocles]

Apparently the swimmer has not paid attention to Powell's speach.

"What are the human costs going to be?" he asks.

What a moron!

[NautiNurse]

What is wrong with Teddy's left eye? It looks nasty (from a nursing perspective)

[Dog]

Look at Kennedy's eyes.....he's drunk.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I doubt he represents the feeling of many in the armed forces.

[3catsanadog]

Uh-oh, Senator "Jack Daniels" Kennedy on Fox now. He wants exact number of casualties, civilian and military, all forseeable problems, consequences, etc. etc spelled out before anything is done.

[KnutCase]

When T Kennedy asks "what are the human costs?"....he is referring to Iraqi humans....very concerned... When it comes to American humans he doesn't give a damn!!!

[twyn1]

Ahhhhh -- now my head is exploding -- Teddy just said "what will be the human costs -- the collateral damage to civilians, etc." as if Pres. Bush can reel off the numbers, "well, Ted, there will be 2,042 Iraqi women killed, 1,876 children, etc."

[Jewels1091]

Anyone else notice his labored breathing????
