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.

[Wait4Truth]

There will be no second resolution unless it has 100% passage ahead of time. Bush is not playing games anymore.

[Trust but Verify]

I want to know why we haven't done anything about this before now! This is outrageous!

[justshe]

And Russia and China, Howlin.

[cyncooper]

Camera focused briefly on the French ambassador reading his copy of the report.

[goodnesswins]

The "peaceniks" are IGNORANT, ARROGANT liberals

[twyn1]

maybe only 18 trucks -- just imagine trying to find 18 trucks among the thousands in Iraq -- oooo that was excellent !

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

Ditto that - keep praying

[kassie]

I am thinking it was for illustration purposes.

Clinton was president.

[Darlin']

"Talking to inspectors punishable by death" -- Saddam"

I don't believe Saddam is into the spirit of cooperation

[1Old Pro]

what's with the peaceniks?

Just that. Saddam could invade America and they would be against war. They should simply be dismissed as irrelevant to the conversation.

[CaptainJustice]

Go Powell Go!
Keep swinging!

Any of those peaceniks out there who think we still shouldnt go into Iraq need a nice cold glass of STFU because its now painfully obvious to EVERYONE what is happening over there.

Go Powell Go!!

[Miss Marple]

Illustration. Did not directly link...although I think there was a veiled hint.

[RooRoobird14]

I wonder......will any of the networks dare invite Scott Ritter on to critique Powell's comments?

I'm sure The Forehead and the Snake Head will have The Child Molester on as their honored guest on tonight's "Crossfire." ROTFLOL!!!!

[Wphile]

He probably doesn't look much better than he did at the SOTU! Remember that? He was so pasty and sweating profusely. Gawd, he looked bad. Same with Kerry who looked like a cadaver.

[Quilla]

I want to know why we haven't done anything about this before now!

Bill Clinton didn't want to blur the illusion of peace and prosperity.

[dittomom]

Let Scott Ritter go kiss Saddam's breech!!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

By 1998 UN experts had agreed that the Iraqis had perfected drying techniques for (biological agents)...dozens of biological agents, cholera, plague, wherewithal to develop smallpox...and methods to disperse - modified fuel tanks. Video of mirage jet air craft spraying..

You have to *ask* why??? We'd have had riots on our hands!
