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.

BTW .. ALL the Networks are covering Powell's speech

When is the DemoRAT rebuttal speech with Dashole? ROFL

[Man of the Right]

My wife and I prayed for Colin last night. I'm praying for him as he speaks. His presentation is masterful.

[Howlin]

I'm waiting for that.......it may be at the end. (Like I'd know....LOL)

I wonder how much of this stuff Powell shared before this speech?

I'd say Bush has proven his point -- the UN is a paper tiger.

Oh, here comes some eye witness accounts of WMD.

"No smoking gun" my lily-white rear-*end*...

[nfldgirl]

It's already quite obvious why Iraq was caling Powell and the U.S. a liar a day or two ago -- someone here called it a Pre-Buttal -- they know they're in trouble

Sort of like the Demonrats before the SOTU speech, trying to derail what the President was going to say. They decided it might be to their advantage to give a "pre-buttal" 'cause they know they're in trouble too. (he!he!)

[baseballmom]

That Iraqi rep has the "Mother of all Combovers".

ROFLOL

[twyn1]

holding up the small vial of "anthrax" was good -- look at this amount --this amount made ??? how many ?? people ill, had to go to the hospital -- Saddam has thousands and thousands of teaspoonsfull, and has not shown us where ONE is

[Darlin']

"Would anyone like to see Saddam's face as he is watching this?????"

Yeah, and that little weasle Tariq Aziz, too.

[prairiebreeze]

talking bioweapons--3 points---took unscom 4 years to pry admission from Iraq that they had bios

when Iraq finally admitted it the quantities were found to be vast they declared 8500 liters---unscum thinks could be 25,000 liters. it took 1 teaspoon to bring US senate to a close in 2001

Iraq has never accounted for these bio weapons that everybody knows they have. This is evidence not conjecture.

[Wait4Truth]

Powell on anthrax...excellent. Iraq has mobile weapons facilities on wheels and on rails..

[cyncooper]

Holy Moly, he's talking about anthrax killing our postal workers--and Saddam's anthrax.

While holding aloft a vial to illustrate the tiny amount sent to the Senate and how many hundreds were affected, plus the two deaths related just to that one envelope.

[Catspaw]

ah, he's talking about the mobile production program on wheels and on rails.

[Quilla]

We're laughing now, but I guarantee you, Daschle is drafting his 'disappointed in speech, no proof' rebuttal as we type.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Reading from 1441....I love it. He is telling the Security Council that they are ignoring their own resolution.

Why do you think there were some Clymers screaming for another UN resolution. They wanted to lower the bar for Saddam where nothing he did would be a violation.

[Howlin]

They ran the WMD because Iraq thought the inspectors wouldn't come on holy days!

And they have a source hidden in another country who fears for his life!

"A NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICAN IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE"

There's a Republican in New Hampshire?

[Miss Marple]

12 techniciains were killed working with bio-weapons. Info from a technician in hiding in anoother country because he knows Saddam will kill him.

[gov_bean_ counter]

The kicker is going to be how much of this stuff has been seen by the same Democrats who are saying, "We need more proof".

I don't think they ever anticipated a presentation like this one.

[Pippin]

Took the words right out of my mouth!
