watched the speech live, thanks for posting!

strong speech. no groveling to the UN.

He reminded them that the FAILED to stand up for the resolutions, though he put it diplomatically. He pointed out some real evil in the world (nuclear proliferation in terrorist states, slavery, the spread of AIDS) and called on the UN to work on these things, rather than obstruct the US bringing freedom to world.

He also said, the terrorists should have no "friends" in this chamber- of course they do.

all in all, a good shaming of the UN, similar to last year.

"Saddam Hussein's monuments have been removed -- and not only his statues. The true monuments of his rule and his character -- the torture chambers, and the rape rooms, and the prison cells for innocent children -- are closed. And as we discover the killing fields and mass graves of Iraq, the true scale of Saddam's cruelty is being revealed."

it's good Bush put this in because it shames France and other countries that their anti-US position enabled this great evil.

The part I had never really heard about was the sex slave trade business. I had no idea it was that large or was here in the United States -- thought I kept up on the news! Obvious there is a lot going on that is not being reported!

There were several items in his speech which caught me off guard including the 11 countries led by the US being involved in ridding the world of WMDs as part of an organized group.
