[Kip Lange]

"That is 2000 liters of simulated anthrax that jet is dropping"

[defenderSD]

The French ambassador has this strange look on his face, as though he's been caught out on a limb (or kicked in the "cajones").

[Peach]

Holy sh!t. Did you see that Iraqi plane spraying anthrax? Imagine that here.

[RummyChick]

oh that sprayed anthrax bit is scary as hell..we could be sprayed with any of his WMD

[Terriergal]

ugh... yeah now I'm listening more carefully.

[concerned about politics]

OMG! Video of Iraq jet spraying simulated antrhrax! A test run.

[hchutch]

Sometimes, they get things right. This is one of those cases, IMO.

Discussing spray capabilities for Mirage F-1s.

[Howlin]

HOLY CRAP!

[TonyInOhio]

MIG-21s with spray tanks flown as UAVs. Scary.

[goodnesswins]

This is NOT POWERPOINT....this is P.O.W.E.R.F.U.L.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I would say there are more than one smoking guns. Thatpalne is pretty self explanatory.

[MeekOneGOP]

Call it the "Powell Rally!"

[Trust but Verify]

My God! What a traitor. I loathe him. Bush has shown great restraint to this point. Maybe too much. The aftermath of this startling presentation should be very interesting. I wish I were home to channel surf.

[Catspaw]

No, Scott "Burger King" Ritter just gave a talk in Japan. He's now headed to the UAE (I do believe) to be in some sort of a seminar. I wonder how much they paid him for his drivel--and if they let anyone under 18 attend?

[Terriergal]

HEY I got post #666! ;-)

[John H K]

Heh Heh...that "Mirage" was popped in with special relish by Powell...too bad the average Joe doesn't know who built it.

[twyn1]

oh that sprayed anthrax bit is scary as hell

Yes --it is -- and they'd do it to us in a heartbeat ! God protect our troops !!

[BADROTOFINGER]

Ok everyone, here is the poop from DU. And I mean that literally...

Could we not send the inspectors to those locations?? kentuck (10160 posts) Feb-05-03, 11:00 AM (ET) 93. We had pictures of trucks picking up these suspected WMDs??

This is just a raw cut and paste, but really there is nothing going on there. A bunch of insults without substance. I am very disappointed, but not surprised. It must be too early in the morning for their largest contingient, the welfare cases.

But I really love the whiny comment here...

Who exactly is 'we', I would like to ask this idiot. This is the U.N. we are talking about, not the U.S. I love the way that these morons automatically attribute U.S. compentence to the units of their pet moron debating societies like the U.N. How are we supposed to just 'go' to these locations? Teleport? And that is assuming that the U.N. actually want to find anything in the first place. Although they are totally incompetent, I think that they would realize that if they really had found WMD, their lifespan wouldnt be long with all of the Nazi Iraqis hanging around.

But, unfortunately, not many laughs, just insults and hate speech hurled out of desperation. Thats about it...JFK

[Kip Lange]

going in order here? biological, chemical, and the finale is nukes?
