Powerful information. The world should be very afraid, however .....

A defining message of the speach was early on.

"Iraq has now placed itself in danger of the serious consequences called for in U.N. Resolution 1441. And this body places itself in danger of irrelevance if it allows Iraq to continue to defy its will without responding effectively and immediately.'.

Get the U.S. out of the U.N. and get the U.N. out of the U.S.

I suggest Paris would be a great city to house the U.N.

[Mr. Silverback]

Agreed. I had hoped for two things to happen:

1. Powell would make a very strong, detailed case covering the Big Four (chem, bio, nuke, terror) in detail.

2. The Security Council would do nothing worth talking about, leading to a "League of Nations II" collapse.

I got request number 1 and then some, and with the Chinese and French resistance I saw earlier today, I may be getting wish number 2.
