As usual, please no HUGE graphics

Powell says Iraq's small steps are certainly not initiatives. Shouldn't be called initiatives. only grudging cooperation under threat of force.

Powell says pleased some al-Samoud missiles have been broken up---also using "toothpick" term! LOL---says infrastructure to make more missiles exists and hasn't been destroyed in Iraq

[StarFan]

Thank you. Powell happy to hear there has been some positive movement in Iraq but it's too passive. He still hears a catalog of non-cooperation. If they wanted to disarm, that would be clearly evident rather than have us look under every rock. We're told actions do not constitute immediate cooperation but that is EXACTLY what is required under 1441. We have evidence that the infrastructure to make more missiles is evident and has not been destroyed.

Powell says he realizes that these are not toothpic but missles and that we need to find out of them

I was watching Fox when they had a News Alert

Were they showing the French and German diplomats floating down the river on broken ice with Blix coming to the rescue?:)

What those Iraqi women told members of the House yesterday should be mandatory viewing by these wimps that want to give peace a chance in the UN.

We need to get rid of the WMD but more importantly we need to Liberate the Iraqi people from the tyrant they have been living under for over 30 years.

[CheneyChick]

Yup - self-righteous cheesebutts.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

"1441 calls for full and complete compliance and we must hold Iraq to these terms."

 

Colin's shaken up today, voice cracking, hesitant. Being diplomatic with these smirking and unattentive cowards and traitors is too much to ask of one of ours...of ANY decent human being.

[knak]

good morning all!

[hobbes1]

Slamming IAEA....

Powell says he realizes that these are not toothpic but missles and that we need to find out of them

OH GEEZZZ .. that made NO sense .. Sorry Y'all about my typo's

[knak]

eveidence=evidence sorry

[goodnesswins]

Powell....we have to be very cautious....keep the books open...disputes about some specific items....aluminum tubes, but we also know that there is new info available thru iaea about a European country where Iraq was found shopping for those tubes.....at tolerances higher than those that would be justified.....we will keep this issue open...

[cyncooper]

Powell points out infrastructure to build more missiles remains.

Now addressing nuclear. New information about a European country where Iraq was found shopping for new tubes. (What country, I wonder???).

[Stefan Stackhouse]

Powell: intel about Iraq shopping for tubes in a European country (Germany? France?) with higher tolerance than anything needed for rockets.

[houston_matt]

Powell is sounding strong as usual, but I REALLY hope he damns Saddam's mustache before he sits down...

[areafiftyone]

Good Afternoon to you from here in NYC - the Home of the United Nitwits! :-)

[StarFan]

Fingers crossed.

[Braak]

His voice is cracking, I think, due to barely supressed rage...I think he's had enough!

[section9]

Colin's an operator, to be sure, but he's also an officer. He's been stabbed in the back by people he thought he could trust. Those people chose wrong.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
