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

[Moby Grape]

I couldn't bare to suffer the entire story, and I almost NEVER watch MTV anyway...but I could see where it was going...you know...poor Muslim, picked on because she looked a certain way...she was wearing the black head cover, but with face showing....she did seem like a nice girl, but I am tired of the left whinning when airport security do their jobs.

Hi, Howlin!

:-)

Perhaps.

Loved the "muffler" post!

[PhiKapMom]

CNN went right away to the capitols around the world which is why I switched to them. Was pleasantly surprised with the take the Aaron Brown had on their reaction and he came right out and stated that Pres Bush had made his case and the European Community was slowly realizing that fact and getting on board.

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks much! Ritter should be investigated. I just got back from Tinker AFB a short time ago and missed the interview. Glad to hear it was a good interview!

[Miss Marple]

So, what did Sheperd Smith have in the resignation letter? And who posted about that, anyway?

I hate it when I miss things!!

[Miss Marple]

Please check for the article I posted about Daschle lying. I flagged you to it!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

CNN's Brown gave a positive take? Peter Jennings praised President Bush's speeches yesterday? Others in his "camp" did so of the speech today? Sixty minutes reporter gives favorable summary of the President (reviewed it with Don Imus this morning)? Is this an amazing time in which to live or what?

Simon's lawsuit thrown out? He's leading in the polls of actual likely voters in CA.

Dear God in heaven - the world is turning.

What shall be the outcome? Only God knows. But by His grace, and the dedication to work for victory on the part of millions of Americans and others around the world, truth and freedom shall prevail.

By God's GRACE!

[PhiKapMom]

Isn't this absolutely amazing! I sat here hearing and reading the praise and just shook my head!

Can I say FINALLY?

[justshe]

I have been watching Netanyahu testify on C-Span.

Some of these Dems were born without brains.

Net is doing a GREAT job.

[justshe]

Then some of the European leaders have more BRAINS then the Dems questioning Netanyah at the hearing...testifying right now!

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks!

Really? So when's Bush going to take him out? How long is it since Saddam flattened the WTC now? Saddam doesn't seem very frightened to me. Do you think he knows something we don't?

Saddam Huessein will be gone from power in Iraq by Decemeber 1. We're already at war, we've been taking out their radar installations for several weeks now. The Turks are gaining control of cities in Northern Iraq. The guys who flattened the WTC are dead. The guys who financed and supported their murderous rampage are being identified and killed. How would you describe Saddam's demeanor and emotional state right now? Playful and perky? I think Saddam - well everybody, everywhere - knows countless things you don't.

[GretchenEE]

He [x42] 's so totally OVER even Dave was laughing when he left about how much he TALKED.....he just will NOT shut up.

He's gone a long time without a mic and a live audience, you know. Lotta ketchup to do.

[CWOJackson]

Interesting development. Some members of the EU are starting to understand. Some members of the UN are starting to understand. Some nations in the middle east are starting to understand. But Iraq, the democrats and some of the folks here on FR still don't get it.

[ArneFufkin]

FoxNews must have quit reimbursing his expenses at "Totally Tanning."

[MeekOneGOP]

FOFLOL. The Iraqi rep to the UN just said that the President, lacking evidence, had chosen to deceive. Clearly, he is "out of the loop", Clinton isn't prez anymore.

Thank goodness !

Shepard Smith on FOX News Channel interviewed this Rania Masri just about 30 minutes ago. I hadn't heard of her before. He asked her "Don't you think that when the operation in Iraq is finished that the people of Iraq will be dancing in the streets just as they were in Afghanistan?" She pulled a Palistinian on him and danced all around the question and didn't answer. She thinks that civilians will be the targets when our bombing starts. Sheesh ! Shep finally said that "Well, I'm writing you down as a No to my question."

Let's Roll !!

Here's what I found on this wench.....

Barf Alert !

Exactly. Somebody said last night that Clinton didn't even notice the audience wasn't "with him" on some of his remarks.

I pointed out the only thing Clinton is concerned about is whether the camera with the red light ON is pointing at him. The audience didn't even need to be there.

Aaron can abe a bit dense at times, but he ain't stupid - I would dare say he's the smarter of the lot...(not that's saying very much given who he's up against...)

[Howlin]

But Iraq, the democrats and some of the folks here on FR still don't get it.

The perpetually dumb, the blind, and the clueless.

[mass55th]

Hey Rania! Have you ever heard that freedom comes with a price? Have you ever heard of freedom becomming a reality without the loss of some human life? You should be grateful that there are young American men out there who are willing to die to make your dream of a free peoples in the Middle East come true.
