OK, kids, here we go.

The broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox) will go live at 10A ET.

The reports are due to begin around 10:15A ET.

I'll provide a list of streaming resources as we get closer to time.

Aziz was asked by Isreli journalists about the Iraqi missles. Did anyone catch the question?

Whether the missiles could reach Israel.

[XJarhead]

The Aziz quote is really interesting. My guess is that he was unprepared for the question of whether Iraq has weapons capable of reaching Israel and didn't know how to respond. It is important for Iraq's stature in the eyes of the Arab world to have that capability, but he couldn't admit having weapons of that range. So since he couldn't admit it, and wouldn't deny it, he was stuck.

Interesting to see if this gets any play.

I'm already married and I don't believe in polyandry.

How 'bout you? Have you found a spouse yet? Remember, Vermont is very welcoming to all sorts of good friends who want to make it legal. And it's beautiful this time of year...

[eyespysomething]

EXACTLY. That is all we need to remember. We will be judged alone on our own and in his eyes only.

[Letitring]

CNN cut to break. Even Wolff Blitzer was stunned. OMG, the washington journalist have escape plans. BBC has boats waiting in the Potomac in case DC is attacked. They plan to board them.

The chickens of the infantile foreign policy blowhardism of Rumsfeld and Bush are coming home to roost--with a vengeance.

Oh, please, please do condescend to share your infinitely superior wisdom with us provincial yokels!

Bah! LaBelleDameSansCerveau ou BonSens

[Mo1]

Yup, Aziz hissed and booed when he refused the question *from* and Israeli journalist. Fox even replayed the moment.

I sure hope Fox News replays that

[Miss Marple]

I am with you. That was a very revealing moment.

According to Christopher Hitchens, Aziz is a complete tool of Saddam because he is a broken man...torture and threats, etc. He does whatever Saddam says, period.

[Terriergal]

Shhh.... don't say that too loud.

[Terriergal]

What *is* that poster?

[Terriergal]

he asked about the range of the iraqi missiles and if iraq was going to attack Israel when the US attacks Iraq.

Sounds like Aziz's answer was a yes.

[ken5050]

I think he's in love with your mind.......(g)

[The Great Satan]

I'm already married

Poor dumb bastard.

"The tide is turning against us and Saddam is winning public opinion. I know most FREEPers here were against going to the UN, but I was for it. Now, like everyone else I see that was a big mistake."

As the President has said, time and again, and as his statement has been reinforced, time and again, by Rummy and Powell..... WE DO NOT RELY ON THE UN OR ANY OTHER ENTITY FOR OUR SECURITY. Public opinion ain't gonna keep you and your family safe.... the President's resolve and the US MILITARY will do that.

Speaking of Democatic Senators, that German Foreign Minister, Joschka Fisher, would make a perfect Democatic Senator, he even looks like some of them.

[ruready4eternity]

Q.Who is ISRAEL'S greatest ALLY?
A: U.S.A

Q. Why does the world want to get the USA out of the region?

A: So it can be easier to mount an attack without AMERICAN DEFENCE or AGRESSION to protect ISRAEL, the region and the resources to the free world.

[Miss Marple]

Where did you get that information about journalists' escape plans?

[mhking]

"...So basically you don't care?.."

I don't know how you could have gleaned that from what I wrote. I'm infuriated by this whole sorry spectacle. Our government is not conducting our affairs with the best interests of the American People in mind.

The AMERICAN PEOPLE. Anybody remember them? Hello?
