As usual, please no HUGE graphics

Blix needs to grow up. This is deadly serious business, and he is NOT a Rock Star.

No wonder France voted for 1441… they knew Hans would be their ace-in-the-hole.

[abner]

Thanks Howlin. I got here today, and said to myself, "Self, I wonder when the Blix appeasement speech starts." I opened up FR and here it is!

[OXENinFLA]

I seen that.

They were dragging Blix through all the mud he has made for himself, it was great.

[alaskanfan]

Just give old Hans ten more years and I'm sure he will find everything.

[auboy]

He means what he says and they don't know how to handle that.

President Bush says what he means and means what he says. I recorded his press conference last night. He WAS sending a message.

Just give old Hans ten more years and I'm sure he will find everything.

Shhhhhh....it's called job security.

Just give old Hans ten more years and I'm sure he will find everything.

Expended on Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, New York City, Washington DC, London, ...

[steveegg]

Looks like the main C-SPAN, and CNBC just said they'll cover it (so you can lose your breakfast twice).

[Miss Marple]

MadIvan is up and posting. They are only about 6 hours ahead of us. I asked him about the articles. You might check his latest thread.

Fox News just said Blix will be on in about 40 minutes, presently conferring with Koffee Annan.

Time; 0850 AM CST:

[hobbes1]

Yes, "Saddam, Come Friday at 10 am, there better be on helluva big Pile of burning weapons in the Iraqi Desert, or your little toadies in the Axis of Weasel will not be able prevent the most lopsided Ass Whuppin since Tyson v. MichaelSpinks."

"Oh, and one more thing....reporters that keep F*ng with my press secretary will have little to report, John, HELEN, ya got that " ?

[Petronski]

Blixy's getting sneaky this morning with this delay. What is he up to?

[hobbes1]

Blix sucking down a little Koffee before going on eh?

[Miss Marple]

Hans and Kofi are trying to figure out a way to weasel out of this.

[piasa]

A prayer:

Almighty God
Please free us from the pestilence
Of my congressman Nelson
Please let FOX news know
That we can do without him for the rest of the day
If not for the rest of the week-
Rest of his term in office
Whichever ends first.

Father,
Must we have a perpetual living example
Of why liberals should never be allowed to have
Authority in the realm of foreign policy?
surely this is too much to bear
Seeing his grinning face
On my satellite TV news

For the rats will delegate their constitutional authority
To whatever international organization
Makes them feel most like "citizens of the world"
Rather than servents of our people
They will eat out the heart of America
And sacrifice it to foreign idols
We ask you to save us from the smooth words
And give us strength to endure to the next election

We thank You for giving us this one opportunity this morning
To learn that astronauts are not neccessarily what they are cracked up to be
That they are better off working in space
Than in congress
Because they are too far out
And have been short of oxygen way too long
To have a clue about how to deal with hostile nations

We thank you for this lesson, Lord
And beseech You to spare us from yet another one of Nelson's tirades
About how we are not coddling the Germans
as they deserve to be coddled
For graciously selling the Iraqis the means to gas US troops
Or about how we are not properly bowing and scraping
To please French surrender monkies
Or how we are not trying to avoid offending The Axis of Weasels
Over that little deal where the French
Sold the Iraqis jet engines this January
So that Saddam Hussein can last long enough
To pay off some of their debts To Old Europe

This should be much more realistic
And require much less effort
Than my prayer that You grant the Democrats uncharacteristic wisdom

Amen.

I saw that interview with Gibson. The gent's name was Per Ahlmark and you're right, he was a former Swedish deputy prime minister. His opinion of Blix was far from favorable. He cited the episode of the Iraqi man who attempted to enter a UN inspector's vehicle while clutching papers to his chest. The man was screaming "save me", but the inspector looked the other way allowing Iraqi police to take him away. (The man is now missing, presumed dead.) When Blix was questioned about the release of an Iraqi national who possibly had damning information, his response was pitiful. He said the man should have chosen a more elegant way of approaching the UN.

G'morning...ready for you blood to start boiling as we watch/listen to the Blixie Boy/Saddam love fest?

I don't know which C-Span has it, but MSNBC's got it and here's a link for Channel 3 in Philly There's a poll on Iraq on there that needs freeping too!

[Miss Marple]

I am flabbergasted with your eloquence. May God hear your prayer!

[bonfire]

You are funny, piasa! My first laugh of the day!
