Powell Speech to UN Live Thread

[Constitution Day]

Sounds good to me!

[Molly Pitcher]

Hi Slip. Hope you feel better soon. Hope the markets stay up thru the day. That would be a plus...Maybe the certainty in Powell's voice is reassuring them.

[dittomom]

Sorry you've been sick! And yes, it's good to see some positive numbers in the markets for a change!

[Overtaxed]

I say we attack the enemy TONIGHT

"The bombing will start in five minutes."

[OneLoyalAmerican]

Pitt: Oh Snotty Ritter, let's go play with ourselves in AIM kiddie chat rooms!

[ladtx]

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

Telling isn't it? I think during the Gulf War they only had MIG's.

[carl in alaska]

Yes, Colin has nailed them to the wall. He's kicking major butt here. This will be devastating to Iraq and France. Go, Go, Go Colin GO GO GO !!

I say when this is all over, if we get to execute Saddam Hussein for crimes against humanity, we do it with a slow drip of the worst of his chemical weapons.

[Mo1]

Have you noticed how quite the UN is

Not one cough .. nothing .. just Powell talking

Think Powell got their attention

[Kip Lange]

Human source *backing up photo*. Powell is going to GREAT lengths here.

[anniegetyourgun]

1/2 point of presentation. Photos, drawings, accounts, etc. I think Powell is in the process of pulling Saddam's pants down before the eyes of the world.

[Terriergal]

Would really be priceless and make sense if it was happening as Colin speaks.

[Poohbah]

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

My recollection does not agree with yours.

On a technical basis, they're some of the best out there. On a moral and ethical basis, I have serious reservations.

[justshe]

Bush1 followed his mandate FROM THE UNITED NATIONS. He was prohibited from going on into Bagdad.

[bigaln2]

Two weeks after the last photo.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Colin's talking about removing the "crust of the earth" - buriel sites in the sand. Appealing to the enviral-nuts?

[prairiebreeze]

pix of bulldozed sites

Iraq procures needed items from around the world (uh oh Frenchy) and clandestine methods

[RobFromGa]

maybe he'll start referring to these facilities in the past tense as the speech progresses (as the bombs drop).
