Sniffing, could be a cold...or, could be worn out. Someone left a suspicious package at Colin's hotel last night...guests evacuated. Who would want to weaken Colin before this big day? Hmmmm? Our guys need help from above...too many rats feeding on UN cheese (US $$$).

[Terriergal]

To be honest, his voive was crackking badly in the last speech he gave- he's been doing way too much talking for way too long. Kind of like having to repeat over and over simply concepts to the peopole over at DU...

GMTA!

[Catspaw]

EEEEEK! Invanobv just said, "Peace in our time." Does he know he's quoting Neville Chamberlain?

[areafiftyone]

HEH HEH do you get the sneaky feeling that they are lurking on Free Republic?

[boxerblues]

I hope so...want to see UBL dragged into NYC and let the little folks have at him

[RobFromGa]

Powell Over...

When is Bush scheduled to speak? He will say Blix answered his question: NO!

I think he will give a deadline for Security Council to Vote. Tues/Wed latest, IMHO. Probably after the Sec Council delegates all get to yap. before evening news.

WH just confirmed OBL son capture/

[r9etb]

Powell kicked @$$ with this. Hit all the hot-spots: all of Blix's "cooperation" comes because of the willingness of some nations (us and Britain) to put our kids' lives on the line.

Excellent!

[Carolinamom]

Powell's wrap up called for them to put up or shut up. (my words) There comes a time, call it the moment of truth, when words alone are insufficient. Carrying out the mandate that the Security Council themselves voted 15-0 is NOW.

[Mrs.Liberty]

CNN website is also reporting the WH is denying this...

[A Citizen Reporter]

Yeah, and he also said that Powell was talking over the head of Blix, appealing to the security council.

[Terriergal]

Someone left a suspicious package at Colin's hotel last night...guests evacuated.

That's another story I missed!

[RobFromGa]

WH just confirmed OBL sons captured

[Braak]

Sid down and shaddup you Russkie, or we'll come in and reposess your country for back loans you owe us!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Reuters take on the UN inspectors dupes:

	Blix reports progress in Iraqi cooperation
	Iraqi MP says Blix report 'positive and objective'
	'Proof' of Iraq uranium imports fake says ElBaradei

[Terriergal]

Anyone catch how that translator really emphasised "immediate unconditional" etc.! Weird!

[prairiebreeze]

thanks FReepers, Howlin. I've heard all the diplo-posturing I can stand. I'm sure Jack Straw will be good.

carrying on, Prairie

[RobFromGa]

Breaking: WH just confirmed capture/

[Damocles]

Are you for real? What an abject fool!

[piasa]

I'm losing my spelling ability for the same reason! POstiong to DUers over and over and over....

[spodefly]

The Russian ambassador just used the words of Chamberlain " ... peace (and security) in our time."

The parallels to previous diplomatic failures and appeasment attempts is very clear in this process, and even in the words chosen to describe the process.
