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.

I don't know about you folks, but, I HAVE HEARD ENOUGH!

We have stuck the cornered, pissed-off tiger in the eye with a stick so much now that he is liable to suddenly spring back and jump on us and tear our flesh off.

We know they know we are 'coming to get them'.

If we don't want a Pearl Harbor (big 'surprise' the Japanese attacked us), I say we attack the enemy TONIGHT, (conditions permitting) and start the air war immediately while allied naval and ground troops continue their urgent buildup in the region. Bush ought to get a declaration of War tonight from the Congress, and woe to the Democrats who vote against. Let's Roll. We have talked too much and allowed The Enemy too long of a time to build a potent counter threat to us if we attack. Why give them even more strength?

[Tamzee]

republicans in New Hampshire, YES....

I lived there for several years, LOTS of Republicans.... I miss that LOL

[Trust but Verify]

STFU....My all-time favorite acronym.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

This is shaping up to be the Adelai Stevenson moment I was waiting for.

[Poohbah]

Wonder what the weather forecast for the new locations is?

Temperatures in the mid-5,000s, and recommend wearing SPF 2,000,000...

[Bob]

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

Gee, let me guess. Could it perhaps be the French?

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Four TONS of VX nerve gas missing. One drop on human skin will kill. Saddam lied - we know he's been weaponizing it.

[LSUfan]

If these aren't smoking guns, what is smoke? What is a gun?

[jriemer]

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

Anyone with a functioning neuron should be able to link A to B with Powell's statement. Madagascar wasn't the supplier of the anthrax. [/sarcasm]

[aristeides]

I have never had a low opinion of their ability to gather intelligence.

My recollection is that you've called the NSA a bunch of incompetents.

[twyn1]

You're right -- he wouldn't care if his troops or innocents are affected by what they spray -- Powell now talking aboutV-X gas -- one drop can kill in minutes -- Saddam has FOUR TONS ! (sternly repeated it -- 4 TONS!)

[Wphile]

Did you hear the one peacenik on Sean Hannity last week? She didn't know what she was talking about and Sean asked her, "well, what if you are wrong and Sadaam's uses these weapons?" She says, "I guess a million people die then." That was it. She was such a moron.

[BibChr]

I'm cubebound and busy. I just want to know:

Is he taking names and kicking butt?

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

Powell help write 1441. He ain't happy.

[HairOfTheDog]

MSNBC has a live feed to a room full of Iraqi officials watching? HA!

[Charlie OK]

'xactly

[prairiebreeze]

saddam knows that he did with the chemicals--he isn't coming clean with the world

iraq chemical weapons record replete with lies. took years for them to admit to 4 tons. only admitted after unscom came up with evidence. to this day they still deny weaponsinz VX

Iraq has imbedded key portions of weapons infrastructure in civilian areas

[Terriergal]

I just saw a thread over THERE on that other site that said these photos were DRAWINGS!!! unfrigginbelievable.

[Quilla]

I say we attack the enemy TONIGHT

I second that motion!
