CNN | Feb. 6, 2003 | CNN

[Peach]

CNN just announced that President Bush will speak at 4:30. That's all they said. Didn't sound like it was previously scheduled.

[swheats]

And WHAT was that noise at the beginning and The Look the President made about? LOL!

Powell walked in behind Bush and forgot to close the door, the President walked away from the Podium and closed the door.

Powell looked as though he was reprimanded. This president's attention to every detail can't be overlooked.

The game is over....the UN can renew its purpose....sec council can affirm it is able and prepared to meet future challenges and other dangers, and we can give the IRaqi people a chance for freedom"

[Wphile]

The game is over!

UN can renew its purpose.

Security Council can affirm that it is able and prepared to meet future challenges.

Give the Iraqi people a chance to live in freedom.

[Bahbah]

That almost caused me to jump up and yell, and I'm in my office.

[Terriergal]

I agree! he is dead serious. He's not enjoying this.

No questions. oooh!

[babaloo]

Saddam and UN both are getting their last chance

[LisaFab]

More challenging of the UN...AND the Security Council in particular.

"Saddam has made Iraq a torture chamber..." "Saddam will be stopped."

[MomwithHope]

Last line "Saddam Hussein will be stopped."

[Recovering_Democrat]

GREAT LINE FROM "ALIEN":
THE GAME IS OVER.

[unspun]

"Security Council...Security Council...the United Nations...the United Nations.... Saddam Hussein will be stopped."

[mhking]

"We will not wait"

Translation: 2/17-3/1, period.

[USMA83]

This is not a last chance for Saddam...
It's a last chance for the UN.

[prairiebreeze]

Here it is in a nutshell:

Bush Says Powell has just briefed Sec. Council on Iraq's various nasties. Says it's an intelligence challenge, great service to free nations.

Iraq's violations are evident and cont. to this hour.

Regime pursuing an elaborate campaign to conceal weapons and hide key experts and scientists. This disception directed from highest Iraqi levels.

Bush referring to the satellite images etc. Powell provided yesterday. 7 mobile bio factories, the Mirage aircraft that can spray, missile with ranges far beyond what is permitted by Security Council.

"we have sources that tell us Hussein recently authorized field commanders to use chemical weapons--the very weapons he tells the world he doesn't have".

Provided Iraq with chemical and bio weapons training. Harboring terrorists in NE Iraq with leaders known to be in Bahgdad. Operating in Bahgdad more than 8 months. Same network is responsible for Lawrence Foley murder. Lists several nations they have plotted against.

Danger Hussein poses reaches across the world. Dictator of Iraq is making his choice. time for UN Sec. Council to make theirs. Sec Council will now show if it's words have ANY meaning. Sec. Council must not back down.

Us would support new resolution if it showed UN resolve. US will lead coalition to disarm. Hussein can be expected to start a new round of "anti-concessions, false denials". The "Game is over".

Saddam Hussein will be stopped. We will not wait to see what Hussein will do.

[Molly Pitcher]

Time is short....he's asking the SC to put up or shut up and become irrelevant.....

[NormsRevenge]

Saddam Hussein will be stopped. Thank You.

[RoseofTexas]

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?? So when do we kick A**?!!

[Terriergal]

That was a powerful delivery- not in anything he said, but how he said it. He is very somber.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I love my President !!!

[dfwgator]

Will welcome a second resolution.

I would welcome a Porsche, don't mean I expect to get one.

[deport]

Saddam will be stopped.....

A good chastisement of the naysayers and the UN. He's given them their last chance to get on board but if not then as he said....... "SADDAM WILL BE STOPPED".....
