These drones are the smoking gun everyone's been demanding. The entire Left has whined that we can't go into Iraq unless there's a smoking gun. Now that a smoking gun has been found, the UN hides its discovery. This is a corrupt and criminal game that is totally stacked in favor of Saddam, and it has to END.

The longer I see this utter farce at the SC continue, this diplomatic nightmare of dealing with France and Germany, the more I see the following mental image. Imagine Mike Tyson walking down the street and suddenly, five or six little kids jump out and block his way. They refuse to let him pass, jumping up and down in his face and ranting and raving and whining. What does Tyson do? He just stands there, allowing it. He even argues with them. All he has to do is pound each one of them with a single punch, and after they're lying knocked out on the sidewalk, step over them and go on his way. Instead, he's letting them browbeat him, wasting time.

That's the US at the UN -- Mike Tyson allowing himself to be browbeaten by a bunch of whining little kids. Tyson needs to knock them all out and move forward. Gulliver cannot allow the Lilliputians to tie him down.

We need more than a list of people who will be discredited. We need a list of people who will never see the light of day again, should anything happen to our troops. The blood of our young men and women will be on the hands of Blix and the UN, as well as the butcher of Bagdad, if anything happens to our troops.

The UN had better pay some SERIOUS consequences for this.

You are a fool. Have you not read the Constitution? Who do you THINK won the election? Popular vote doesn't count for diddly-squat. Bush won the Electoral College votes. Get over it.

We have non-drones spraying something on us almost continually and our own government will not tell us what it is.....and few seem to care...
I wonder whether that counts for anything. Perhaps we can assume that theirs were to be used in the same way..

I don't think you read the entire post. It was a joke, at least if you read it to the end.

The question was,If we can't stop the gangs like the bloods,the crips, the hells angels and the KKK in our country,how are we gonna stop the islamfacist?

Well the resident scum that you mentioned are (unfortuantly) American citizens, protected by the US Constitution and slimy lawyers. The Islamofascist are enemy combatants and we can hunt them down like dogs using the regular services where appropriate and Special OPS folks as needed.

How long would the crips and KKK last if we had the CIA and Seals, and Delta Force, Marine Snipers, Green Berets and Predator drome get midevil on their butts?????

Not too long I'd wager.

I appologize for provoking your response. I forgot the sarcasm button. I live in Floriduh....er..Florida and spent that whole election cycle with blood pressure high enough to operate a 747. I am also deeply grateful for founding fathers who had the insight to include the electoral college.

Send Blix into the bowels of one of Saddam's palaces with no chemical suit or gas mask. When he begs not to send him in, show him his reports show no WMD found. Tell him the coast is clear. Hehehehehe

Great free bumper stickers here! Click and print out two of these:

"Only UNamericans put the UN before the U.S.!"

Just use a few pieces of 3M brand magic tape to stick them in your rear car window. (The tape will come off cleanly with no glue residue even after months in the sun.)

Blix represents the U.N. IMHO, the UN/Blix just proved how corrupt they are.

Yes, but the real question is will old Europe, Russia and China care?

Saddamn has obviously been spending some of his billions to buy off politicians and others to save his sorry butt.

I want to know which countries were willing, if any, to sell these drones to the mass murderer Saddamn. If we find any of these drones loaded with WMD's and they came from a country outside of Iraq. They should be returned the capital city of the seller and used the way Saddam wanted to use them. That would stop this BS for the rest of this century.

UN IS UNAMERICAN!

I thought we knew more than the UN about what was there.
How can Powell not know about the drones.

As far as I am concerned Blix should quit now. He stacked the deck at a critical time.

Yep.

He could well have known, but he is under great pressure to speak in relation to information from the UN.

That makes sense.

He should make another appearance and go over all this other information as well.

Blix, easily identified as an obfuscating prevaricator of the windbag variety--after emitting only 4 words--is trash.
