But now it's not 'live' anymore, so no use for a live thread ;0)

All of it will also be available on the White House site later today. That's whitehouse.GOV folks, NOT whitehouse.COM

In other news, the French are actively developing new definitions for the word "proof".

"Do we not have a live thread going on our thoughts and opinions?"

So? Do you have a problem with posting the transcript on its own Breaking News thread?

Line forms at the back for applications to take over for JimRob.

Great. It was too much to absorb the first time around.

I'm cubicle bound, so I missed it entirely. The transcript is really good, though.

Howlin, thank you. Of all days, our computers were down here at work. Just came back on, and trying to catch up with the Live Thread.

God Bless Secretary of State Colin Powell!

The Translation:

Thank you, Mr. President.

Mr. President, Mr. Secretary General, distinguished colleagues, I would like to begin by giving you each a swift kick in the butt. It's very simple. He doesn't care what you say. Never did, never will. We're going in to kick his a$$, and you can either join us and bask in the glow of good press when the details of his tyranny become common knowledge, or skulk into a corner like weasels when when people start asking why you protected him.

Got it?
Thank you.
