Live discussion and comments about Bush's speech to the U.N. today, and the reaction to it.

[Robe]

What I’d Love to Hear..
“My oath is to citizens of the United States to protect ,defend, and protect the Constitution. I did not take an oath to the United Nations. As long as the UN does not interfere with that oath, I will cooperate.
If the UN imposes itself between my duty to the United States and the welfare of it’s people, I will withdraw participation in this body and take whatever course of action is in the best interest of the United States of America.

You are either with us or with the terrorists.”

Four threats to world peace...

Number 1 is Palistinian issue (surprise).

Any guesses on the other three? AIDS? Global Warming? Deforestation?

I'll guess the wild card: too many small arms dispersed around the world, dovetailing into the US's uncivilized tradition of allowing us peasants to be armed.

Sorry if he already named all 4--I don't have TV or radio access at the moment.

"This dope is delusional.

How did he get this job?

Good question.

[Portnoy]

Its almost like Kofi is saying.."Iraq is a porblem? Gosh, wish we'd known this. Let's give Iraq a chance to prove themselves. Let's not be hasty."

What a dope.

[mhking]

Just 15 Min.?

Hell, Traficant got an hour! [g]

[hchutch]

That guy needs to pull his head out from his rear.

Bush ought to hold the UN dues in escrow until some changes are made.

[Texas_Jarhead]

I missed the letterman show, was it worth watching?

[Howlin]

These people need to understand that if Bush goes along with trying to get inspectors in, when he says on November 10th, he doesn't mean November 11th. No more pussyfooting around.

[OXENinFLA]

Did He just Thank CLINTON???

[Mo1]

Bush ought to hold the UN dues in escrow until some changes are made

[mhking]

speaking of MTV I happened to pass by it yesterday and there 9/11 show was absolutely a freakin disgrace

I lingered on MTV for all of 60 seconds. When they got to the part with the fair-haired college kids reading from the Koran, it was either turn or pitch something at the TV set...

"How did he [Kofi] get this job?"

I think he threw the best parties.

[ClancyJ]

Of course, Americans are merely soldiers for their use, money bags for their use, and targets for their use.

[hchutch]

You know, this world is headed to FUBAR in a handbasket.

We've got a darn good President, and he's not going to be intimidated.

[Howlin]

Well, we had a great time mocking him, that's for sure.

He's so totally OVER even Dave was laughing when he left about how much he TALKED.....he just will NOT shut up.

[Texas_Jarhead]
