Powell speech to the UN

[Squiggy]

CNBC poll: Did Powell make the case......?

Yes: 80%

No: 20%

I wish I could go to that lunch for the delegates.

I'm hungry.

 

[Squiggy]

Wonder who's eating the crow?

 

[Squiggy]

Iraq on US (Powell's) statement: "assumptions, presumptions, and speculation..."

Sadly, I have to agree....

 

[Leslie]

hahaha

It was sooooooooooo riveting that I fell asleep not long after I posted how interested I'd be to see the rebuts, I woke up halfway through Iraq's guy yapping. Missed em all.

ah well, I guess there'll be a jillion recaps and I can guess what everyone said anyway.

 

[Squiggy]

LOL...Not like its important or anything.....

 

[Leslie]

nuttin I can do about it anyway

I was hoping for more than this. It really doesn't seem like there was much in the way of hard evidence. Certainly if this was a criminal court, I don't think there would be a conviction.

They're picking apart Powell's presentation piece by piece on the radio right now.

 

[Squiggy]

CNBC actually broke away from it a few minutes into Iraq's response... Are they retarded? I had to switch to CNN to catch the rest....

Really?! They switched off during Iraq's speaker?

What the hell?

 

[Squiggy]

Yeah. I couldn't believe it. How stupid.

 

[flavio]

Must not have been important

[PT]

Guess we know that MSNBC poll was completely unbiased then too, huh?

 

[Squiggy]

of course...its TV for crying out loud....how could you question it?

 

[flavio]

I'm still listening to a call-in program and many of the callers are complaining that their broadcast was cut off right after Powell spoke.

Doesn't that just cast doubt on the whole proceedings?

 

[Squiggy]

Seems to be the name of the game....keep it grey

 

[Leslie]

It's bad...they should have shown it all or none...the Toronto news channel did that too, so I switched to BBC, it stayed on interviews till I passed out

 

[Professur]

I was singularly unimpressed.

It was intriguing. Listening to the cold, brutal truth without allowing emotional interference. He didn't add much new information but he did do a spectacular job in presenting evidence. For those of you wanna-be French. Ask yourself this, would you prefer our president being wrong and ridding the world of a dictator or would you prefer a mushroom cloud over paris or a nerve gas canister being uncorked at California & Van Ness? Maybe you'd prefer anthrax in the US Senate.
