The DUmmies are syaing its all faked, all lies.

They really shoudl rename themselves Al Qaeda Underground or Al Hussein Underground.

Start tonight??? And don't forget the tactical nukes. If this SOB so much as sneezes the words chemical, biological or otherwise...unleash hell. Not one American serviceman is worth holding back on this Pile of SH$T, Saddam.

Saddam and his commanders had better know and know quick that there will be no quarter given if they start that crap.

Perhaps you are confusing poobah with myself.

[Howlin]

I'm beginning to understand why some of OUR people who have been against this have said and done what they have.

[flutters]

I love the language Powell is using. Everyone can understand and follow what he is saying.

[rintense]

Now we know why Bush hasn't been sleeping well. I say we start bombing this afternoon.

[Molly Pitcher]

Thanks. When did Powell do this?

[NautiNurse]

Thanks for the Japan news headlines.

[republicanwizard]

What is the other site?

[Jewels1091]

This is a good speech, he has been talking for an hour and it doesn't seem like it!

[TontoKowalski]

The UN speech is not giving all the really scary details.

Well, it's certainly got my attention. Our Nation is in danger, and we must act. With the UN or without them. With the dimocrats or without them.

[The Vast Right Wing]

It's called strategery. Powell is the good cop, Rummy is the bad cop.

[Bob]

And Bush I was too gutless to accept the uncertainty around a headless Iraq.

I'm sick of hearing this falsehood. Bush I spoke to this the other day - the mandate was to remove Iraq from Kuwait. Mission accomplished. Bush I said (paraphrasing) that the United States HAD to abide by the resolution of the coalition. It was a matter of HONOR. Our government without honor is no better than the 2 bit dictatorships we are trying to remove.

You've got the wrong target sighted, baseballmom. I was quoting a previous post which I refuted. We're on the same side on this point.

[republicanwizard]

He is one of the best speakers I've heard.

[b4its2late]

Great job with the pics. I'm watching CSpan too.... thansk for the effort. This thread will serve as a good resource.

[Kip Lange]

Unmanned drones developed in mass quantities adapted to deliver chemical/bio weapons...

[aristeides]

Didn't Powell and Rumsfeld brief the Senate two weeks ago and the House last week? What was in those briefings?

[OldFriend]

It's a wonder Mandela and Belafonte didn't demand to be seated at the UN as well.
