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.

Can't wait. This is so good. The FNC folks said that someone in the Admin said that the evidence Powell will present is so good, that even Jeanne Garofolo will be on board.

[concerned about politics]

The children over at DU are already laughing at the use of "cartoons" and tapes that "are easily doctored" and satellite photos that "are probably" taken at W's ranch in Crawford. They are also calling Powell a "sellout".

I've checked them out before. Their mentality isn't over the age of 18. I'd guess it's a teen chat site for politics. They don't understand very much.

Good thing they don't matter.

Iraqi Al-Qaeda nexus.

[mombonn]

Yikes, now he's moving on to link Al Queda and Saddam!

[Catspaw]

Oh, boy, here comes the al Qaeda link.

[hellinahandcart]

Oh, here we go, Al-Quaeda...

[Wright is right!]

"kilometers = what geographic distance?"

One kilometer = 1000 meters. One meter = a tad more than 3 feet. So a kilometer is roughly 3/5th of a mile.

Do not post du stuff here.

In general I agree. But sometimes knowing what your enemy is thinking is helpful.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Any truth to the rumor that Hitlery is going to offer the Dummycraps rebuttal after Powell is done?

Why would there be a rebuttal? This is a national security speech at the UN. Is the party system now so shamefully polarized that the out-of-office party has to officially get its two-cents in every time the administration says or does anything?

This is a superb presentation. Riveting. That huge room is totally quiet. The President gave our former allies, France and germany, every opportunity to come onboard. You know we've given them some or all of this information and still they resist.

[DoughtyOne]

How can you stand to go there? Yikes. LOL

[Texican72]

kilometers = what measure of distance?

1 kilometer = .6 miles

[carton253]

Please let me know what he says. I keep loosing my internet link.

[Terriergal]

Dime to donuts says this will be the new rallying cry of the left-- "They'll use the WMDs on our troops!!!"

This is EXACTLY what Hedgecock was saying on Rush's show yesterday. Stories running side by side about "they dont' have any WMD's" and "Our troops might get attacked with biological and chemical weapons!" DUH!

[Carolinamom]

After today, I DARE anyone....especially the media.....to say that "the case has not been made."

[OldFriend]

What worries me is that some of our senators and congresscriters knew of this information and still were willing to risk national security for partisan politican gain.
