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.

[TigersEye]

So Ol' Hamhead just tried to push the Bush administration over the side of the bridge.

[KnutCase]

I think he's uncomfirtable because the Dems sent him out to challenge Powell's speech....no one else wanted it....Ted said "yes"....now he's sorry and knows he has to lie, lie, lie

[twyn1]

I'm sorry to say this -- but this man is absolutely DISGUSTING ! He is undermining everything Colin Powell has built up -- then he says this little "oh yeah, we know that Saddam is an evil man" And since when did we give our allegience and turn our our sovreignty over to the U.N. ?? I am absolutely LIVID !

[Miss Marple]

Hmm. Reminds me I am out of gin.

Fox has cut him off.

[mass55th]

Thank you Fox for taking that break and saving us from any further bull$hit from blubberbutt.

[Wait4Truth]

He looks panic-stricken!! He is raising the bar now...Bush must explain how the war will be handled...he looks like a total doofus while GWB smiles at the White House. It was almost embarrassing to watch Kennedy...what a great day to be a Republican! We are on the right side!

[Afronaut]

Richards...

William Kennedy Smith: Either you have sex with me here or my Uncle drives you home...

[FlatLandBeer]

My favorite moment was when Powell said:

I am no expert on centrifuge tubes, but just as an old Army trooper, I can tell you a couple of things: First, it strikes me as quite odd that these tubes are manufactured to a tolerance that far exceeds U.S. requirements for omparable rockets.
Maybe Iraqis just manufacture their conventional weapons to a higher standard than we do, but I don't think so.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

FOX News just cut to a commercial while Teddy was still rambling on. I knew there was a good reason to like them.

[fightinJAG]

Your questions point out a frightening, but very real scenario.

I have no doubt that even as we speak the Islamonazis are perfecting plans to try to "bring it to us" when the attack on Iraq begins.

[Humidston]

Let's face it... Teddy showed his true lack of character when he and Chris Dodd were caught boffing that waitress *together* in Georgetown!!

[spectre]

Yes, I just read your post. He IS having trouble breathing. Quadruple by-pass time?

sw

[B. Rabbit]

Anyone else notice his labored breathing???? Lol. Kennedy is such a communist, even his breathing is labored. bah-dum-tsss! You'd be gasping for air too if your heart and lungs were having trouble squeezing oxygen into half-and-half alcohol/blood mixture.

[this_ol_patriot]

He was sinking fast, the rats were leaving his folds.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Swimmer:"Well, I'm really concerned about the American people. NO WAIT, I'm concerned about the United Nations. We need to have the UN help us with this problem in Korea, and we need China and Japan......and....."

I hope Teddy continues to give foreign policy statements on behalf of the dims! That one was a garbled mess. LOL!

[fightinJAG]

"American invaders will be eaten like rabbits"

I believe Jimmah Cartah has experience on this point.

[KnutCase]

That has become to be known as the "Waitress Sandwich"

[3catsanadog]

We're going to drive the Iraqis into the sea!!!

Oh, wait, maybe I shouldn't say that around Ted...

Wait!!! Most excellent way to end this Iraqi problem peacefully - we'll just have Teddy take Saddam and his loyal minions for Sunday drives to the Persian Gulf for picnics.

[Jewels1091]

Speech re-aired on cspan at 7 central tonight.

[fightinJAG]

bTW, your excellent questions are far from "rhetorical." They MUST be answered.

Unfortunately, the answers are obvious and frightening. Our ability to protect our entire nation from small UAV bio or chem attacks is quite questionable.
